Reading Luke where Yeshua was on His way to Jerusalem for Passover made me think...

The feasts were still kept every year in Yeshua's days. I don't find one person asking Yeshua about how to determine the start of the year and yet Yeshua kept the feast with His disciples with the other Israelites. As it was a non-topic of discussion it would mean that it wasn't an issue that had to be addressed.

That indicates to me that the Nation kept the feasts at the appointed times or Yeshua would have corrected them, as He did on so many other subjects. Especially as the Pharisees would have been outspoken about keeping the feasts.

If we say that we want to be like Yeshua, shouldn't we then look at when He kept the feasts and how Abib 1 was determined during His lifetime?

Even if it means that the Pharisees and Scribes got it right and kept the feasts using certain signs which then got documented in the Talmud?

(Remember, the Talmud is an attempt by the Rabbis to make the Torah practical. It isn't an occultic set of books meant to outright mislead the people to Satan worship, but to help them not to sin. These man-made laws are based on the Torah, but makes the keeping of Torah more difficult.)
