Presha Shbet: Acharon Shel Pesach

Shabbat Shalom Mshpechha,

"For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a

festival to יהוה."  (Exodus 13:6)

This Shabbat is the last day of Passover, which יהוה has designated as a special festival day.

Although Passover ends at sunset Friday here in Israel, an extra day of Passover is celebrated outside the Land.

This last day of Passover is called Acharon shel Pesach in Hebrew, and it has a feast that is devoted to the Messiah.  The Haftarah reading for the day includes Messianic Prophecies and the promise of the Messianic era.

Acharon Shel Pesach: A Feast for the Messiah Deuteronomy 14:22–16:17; Numbers 28:19–28:25; Isaiah 10:32–12:6; Acts 2:22–41

"The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them."  (Isaiah 11:6)
