This week's parsha calls the holidays 'mikra'ei kodesh,' holy convocations. Why do they need to be 'called' or announced? Because unlike Shabbat, which becomes holy automatically, holidays require us to make them holy. We establish the calendar. We declare the new month. Even if we miscalculate, that becomes the official date. The message? You have agency in your spiritual life. Don't wait for holiness to happen to you; create it. Climb the mountain. Meet God halfway. Every day is an opportunity to elevate. The holidays just remind us three times a year. Shabbat Shalom. 🕯️ Follow us for more: Website - https://www.joidenver.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joidenver Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/JOIdenver YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JOIdenver Pinterest - http://pinterest.com/jewishdiy Subscribe to \"JOI to the World\" to access all our podcasts, including Yada Yada Yiddish, Kids Say the Deepest Things, Reconnect, and Dear Rabbi.
