8 Key Calendar Observances in 2025

While we were busy designing the 2025/2026 Zadok Priestly Calendar we thought it would be helpful to publish an abbreviated version of Yahuah’s Appointed Times. This is not a complete listing, but is designed to assist those who need to request vacation time in 2025.

You may download the full calendar here.

For six days work is to be done, and on the seventh day shall be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly; you shall not do any work; it shall be a Sabbath for YHWH in all your dwellings. LEB Translation
