You shall hold a festival for the LORD your God seven days, in the place that the LORD will choose; for the LORD your God will bless all your crops and all your undertakings, and you shall have nothing but joy.

TNK Deuteronomy 16:15

the
Feast of Tabernacles

Season of Our Joy is a 'Hebrew Roots' observance of Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles. For eight days we praise YHVH through our actions - prayer, song and dance, Bible study, feasting and fellowship. We hear from gifted speakers who teach us the ways and walk of YHVH, our Father, and who teach us the meaning of this very special time of year referred to by the ancient Jewish sages as "the Season of Our JOY". 

SOOJ is held at the Camp Shiloh Retreat just a few miles from Mount Pleasant in Northeast Texas. It is observed in accordance with the traditional Jewish calendar beginning Monday evening, October 6 and continuing through Tuesday evening, October 14.

We welcome you to share the festival with us!

2025 Festival Theme

Take Hold!

The Feast of Tabernacles pictures the time when Israel will fulfil her calling to not only be a light to the nations, but also to show the blessings that flow when God's people 'grab hold' of His way. This idea is expressed in Zechariah's prophecy (ch. 8:23) where the nations will reach for and take hold of the tassels that are hanging from the Jewish man's (Yeshua's) garment. It's a time when people from all nations will want to walk in God's way so they too can enjoy the blessings that come from following the way of YHVH - the God of Israel.

At this years's festival, we will be teaching about what it means to 'take hold' of God's way and make it a 'way of life' for you and your family.
