In this edited recording of their live Yom Teruah 2026 webinar, Nehemia Gordon and Lynell go back to the Torah on the first day of the seventh month — why the Hebrew word for "month" means "new moon," how new moon witnesses were examined (and how sincere people still get it wrong), the Talmudic clash between Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Yehoshua over who sets the calendar, the three "otam" passages in Leviticus 23 the rabbis read as "atem", you, and why Numbers 10 describes silver trumpets rather than a shofar, plus a candid Q&A on calendar disagreements and keeping the feasts in exile. **I look forward to reading your comments!** PODCAST VERSION: Download Audio Transcript COMING SOON * * * ***SHARE THIS TEACHING WITH YOUR FRIENDS!*** [Facebook](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "Facebook")[Telegram](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/telegram?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "Telegram")[LinkedIn](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/linkedin?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "LinkedIn")[Email](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "Email")[WhatsApp](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/whatsapp?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "WhatsApp")[X](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/x?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "X")[Copy Link](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/copy_link?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&linkname=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 "Copy Link")https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nehemiaswall.com%2Fyom-teruah-2026&title=The%20Truth%20About%20Yom%20Teruah%20%7C%202026 * * * **Subscribe to "Nehemia Gordon" on your favorite podcast app!** Apple Podcasts |
