Weekly Torah Portion: Ki Tavo

The commandment of bikkurim - bringing the first fruits to the Holy Temple, opens Ki Tavo. It is basically the final commandment of Torah and the first commandment to be performed upon entering the land. Coming upon the heels of the commandment to remember Amalek by blotting out his memory, bringing the first fruits is the ultimate expression of acknowledgment of G-d's presence and thusly the most perfect vehicle for obliterating Amalek's dark message of G-dlessness in the world.

Rosh Hashanah or Yom-Teruah is what the christian NT calls the "Day of Trumpets". It teaches that Messiah will return on this day. As for the year...? Thats for the Father to decide.

Scholars suggest that 2000+ years ago, Messiah was born around the time of the Sukkot, since he was born in a (debatable) form of Temporary booth.
