Placing the God of Israel first and acknowledging the gifts and blessings we receive from Heaven, is also an important cultural practice. Praising, praying and giving back to the Israelite community are some ways that we show gratitude to our God for His service. Another method of gratitude is to hold a personal feast to honour our Father, to say thanks to our Father and to ask Him to watch over us as we continue to walk on the straight and narrow path.
This may be in the form of a coming of age feast for our young ones, a significant age or time in an adult Israelite's life, a feast to say thanks for the good fortune an Israelite may have received, the offering up and naming of a child, the weaning of a child and various other types of personal feast for the praising of God and the growth and progress of the individuals.
