This month's question: It is pretty clear that YHWH wants us to do the moedim where He places His Name. Several verses in Deuteronomy tell us this. There is also the account in 1 Kings 8 that shows Jerusalem is that place.
But is it still the place? Definitively, I cannot say one way or another, but I do have an opinion.
We see Paul not going up to Jerusalem for 3 years. And even in another account, he is trying to get to Jerusalem, but it doesn't sound like anything more than that was where he wanted to be.
We see in the accounts of Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah that there is no mention of them going to Jerusalem for any of the moedim. In fact in the latter two accounts, they find the Torah scrolls and relearn about the moedim and start implementing them.
We know in Isaiah 46:10, YHWH says He makes known the end from the beginning. I see Scripture as cyclical. Things happen in a certain way as laid out. This is part of why I don't believe we have any further Scripture happening. We have everything laid out already.
I see us in the time of the Judges. Everyone is doing right in their own eyes. Sure, we are all trying our best to follow what we feel YHWH wants for us, this includes those still in Judaism and Christianity, but we are all doing what WE see as right. Once we get to the time of David again, our King, will establish His Kingdom and Torah will go out from Jerusalem and we will all be on the same page.
At that point, definitely, we will be going to Jerusalem.
So for now, we do our best with what we can.

Scripture says nothing about blaming people for not accepting the Apostles' word, calling them names and only then brushing off the dust off of their feet and moving on.
If you can't teach with tolerance and patience then you might not be cut out to be a teacher.
Please take this as my one and only warning.

1. We don't know or understand the full impact/implications of Torah.
2. We aren't able to follow it in its foundational form.
3. Some things were changed as time progressed (think about the first and the last Passover meals we read about).
4. Everyone is currently trying to follow Torah the best they understand how.
That is why you get 6 opinions when asking 5 people.
Do I believe that Israel is the only place where Father has put His Name? Yes, in the past, but He has also removed His Name. He will however return again when the heaven and earth has been restored. But not right now.
The new Jerusalem is multiple times larger than what the entire land of Israel currently is, so things will change once again.
I would love to go to Israel once in my life for the experience, but I don't believe that is the only place where Father will care for His children. I personally therefore keep the feasts as a remembrance and not a reenactment as there is no temple to do the sacrifices and even if there is one built now, I know to steer clear from it...
I can also therefore not criticize others in the way they keep it. If I could afford to slaughter a lamb then I would have done it as an reenactment, but not as a blood sacrifice. So, good on those who can afford to keep it in a more memorable form. I pray that it will be a blessing to them and their children and that their children will grow in their faith with such realistic enactments in their lives.
