Israelite precepts, practices and laws intertwine, creating a unique culture that is unmatched in beauty and in depth. In order to fully appreciate the magnitude of Israelite culture, it must be witnessed first hand.  
 
The Israelite World Wide Ministries has many branches; however there is only one root, which is the Spirit of Truth. Therefore all congregations serve, praise and practice in One Accord. From Sabbaths and New moons, to Holy Convocations and Dietary practices, there is no variation between branches internationally. We are One People as our God is One Lord.

For those who are seeking the Truth and for those whose souls have already felt the trumpet call to come home, we have posted a list of some our Holiest times and where you can find them for yourself in the King James Version of the Bible.

.: Sabbath
The Israelite Nation World Wide Ministries upkeeps the Laws statutes and commandments and adheres to the instructions given by God through his servant Moses. On the seventh day we greet the Sabbath day with cleanliness, avoidance of servile work and the worshipping of the God of Israel.

On this day we offer prayers, sacrifices of joy, merriment and song. Just as the seasons never switch positions, and the day spends its time before the night, the Sabbath given by God remains the same as in the days of Adam, Eve, Noah and even David. Israelites do not have the authority to change or designate every day as the Sabbath. Our only want is to be obedient and to participate in the lawful and cultural practices as it was intended.

Exodus 20:8-11 reads
8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.'

.: Baptism
Mark 16:16
16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

The biblical/Israelite baptism is an integral part of every Israelite’s life, for without it one cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God).

To be baptized means those who believe in the doctrine of Israel will officially join the ranks of the army of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  “Down by the waterside” is where it all takes place and with joyous singing and prayers, new brethren are supported throughout that special day.

The baptism marks the official declaration of every person who desires to follow in the footsteps of their forefathers such as Moses, Joshua, Deborah and David. It is a crossing over into a new state of being (being borne again). But most of all it is a personal shout to the “Father” saying, “I’m here Father”!  Washed and adorned in new garments with a prepared vessel for the Spirit of God.

.: Blowing of Trumpets
On the first day of the month of Ethanim, Israelite men can be found in our place of worship, blowing their rams horns and dancing before the Lord, much like their predecessor King David. Israelite women and children also gather at the temple on that same day to join the men in song, dance and praise. Together they commemorate the beginning of the holy month of Ethanim.

This ordinance can be found in Leviticus 3 & Numbers 9.

.: God's New Year
Happy New Year, it’s Abib!

Every year as the temperature rises and the birds begin their northern migration, Israelites all over the world mark the first day of Abib. This is the beginning of the Israelite year as commanded by The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.

This ordinance can be found in Exodus 12, Exodus 34, and Deuteronomy 16.

Abib is a time of exuberant rejoicing! Israelites men, women and children sound the trumpets of jubilee, which ring so sweetly that even the earth cannot deny the call to life. Nature emerges from her deep slumber, yawning awake through green buds, unfurling foliage and the blooming of early spring flowers. Why even animals shake loose from winter’s hibernation and the cycle of procreation is renewed.

The true new year, as confirmed by the earth it’s self is celebrated in style amongst the world wide congregations of the I.N.W.W.M. Gourmet foods, unparalleled performances and soul inspiring addresses are only a small aspect of what ringing on the Israelite New Year entails. Undoubtedly, the Israelite New Year celebration is unmatched in excitement and in authenticity.

.: Day of Pentecost
As Israelites, we know that the Spirit of Truth is there to guide us and lead us just as it led our forefathers. On that first day of Pentecost, miraculous things happened where people from all parts of the earth, from different tribes and countries could converse with one another with ease and without translation. Acts 2 reads: ‘1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.'

This great experience is one of the many constant reminders of the great power that can be found when you believe in the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. We celebrate on that day with joy and worship as we remember yet another great miracle that this great God showed to His people.

.: Purim
Esther 9:19 reads
19. Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.’

The Israelite Nation World Wide Ministries looks forward to all our celebrations and cultural practices. We understand that the revitalization of our precepts and spiritual proceedings is the reversal of our nation’s downfall and true reconciliation with our Father. Leaving behind rudiments and traditions of the world and partaking in what is rightfully ours, a path towards righteousness.

With the many stories of defeat and the courageous stories of our nation’s triumphs the keeping of Purim is a celebration that Israelites reflect on and enjoy year to year. In this time and age where we dwell in the land of our captivity, Purim is treated as a time of family bonding and focusing on our children. Feasting and acknowledging the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The decree to keep Purim was instituted by our forefathers during the time of Esther and Mordecai (Israelites). While our nation was under captivity once again, the God of Israel fought a tremendous battle for us and prevailed during the Month of Adar (the 12th) month. In the tradition and ways of Israel we feasted and celebrated to thank the God of Israel for his mercy and triumph; we gave gifts to one another and celebrated as a nation.

Mordecai made it a decree that this festivity be carried out year to year and not to be forgotten within Israel. Thousands of years later we, the descendants of Israel (I.N.W.W.M) have picked back up the torch and have vowed to carry on by passing it down from generation to generation. Praise the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob for his wonderful works!

Esther 9:17–32

.: New Moon
Psalm 81:1-4 reads
1. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
2. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 
4. For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

The New Moon observance is a perpetual ordinance given by the God of Israel to the children of Israel to keep. We do not pray to or worship the moon, the coming of the New moon is a phase that signifies the beginning of a new month, and the ending of an old month.

Genesis 1:14 reads
14. And God said, Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.

Just as the rising of the sun brings the morning and the showing of the stars indicates that it is surely night, the moon and it’s phases has been placed to gage the months of God (Hebrew Calendar) so that we can know when to keep his feasts, Holy days, and services without error. The new moon is a feast day,

Psalms 81:3 reads 
3. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

Amos 8:4-5 reads 
4. Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 
5. Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? And the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

This scripture is another lesson in itself but the point that should be understood is that the New Moon is treated as a Sabbath day, a feast day and an insignia of seasons from month to month.

Ezekiel 46:1 reads 
1. Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

.: Feast of Tabernacles
The month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month of the Israelite year, is a very special month to the Israelite Nation World Wide Ministries.  There are more Holy Days in this month than any other, including the month of Abib, our first month of the Israelite year. If one could imagine seven days of eating, laughing and celebrating until they burst, they would have a good idea of what The Feast of Tabernacles entails. This exciting Feast has Israelite families from all over the world together for the last I.N.W.W.M feast of the year. During these Feast days, Israelites fill up with physical and spiritual food, completing their preparations for the long season between Ethanim and and Abib.

Lev 23: 33-35
33. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

.: Personal Feast
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.

.: Wedding Feast
The Israelite Nation World Wide Ministries wedding and marriage ordinances are ancient and signatured with the examples of Biblical practices. Just as our fathers of old did it, theres nothing strange or man made, ranging from the song and praise filled service, to the cultural Bride and Groom attire. Feasting, celebrating dancing and toasting just like the days of King David and Solomon. The Israelite Nation World Wide Ministries is a recognized organization by the government of Canada, and does possess the rights and privileges to legally marry and conduct other Israelite practices.


.: Passover
It has been thousands of years since the God of Israel commanded the Israelites in Goshen to paint their doorposts with the blood of a lamb so that the Angel of Death might Pass-Over their homes on his way to kill all the first born of Egypt. It was also at this time that the Children of Israel kept a feast unto their God, while on the run. In their haste, they did not leaven the bread. They tasted again of this unusual fare in the wilderness when Manna, (angel's food), fell from the heavens to satisfy their hunger.

Every year, on the fourteenth day of the Israelite month of Abib, Passover begins at the INWWM. Passover and the feast of Unleavened bread are kept in the same manner and practice as they were originally commanded in the days of Moses.

These ordinances can be found in:
Exodus 12 & 34
Leviticus 23
Numbers 9

Exodus 12;26-27
26. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, “What mean ye by this service?”
27. That ye shall say, “It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses”. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

.: Day of Atonement
On this solemn day, Israelites fast and pray, atoning for their sins to the God of Israel. There are no longer lambs or turtledoves sacrificed upon the altars of Israel. Today, every Israelite soul must atone for their own sins, personalizing their sacrifice by suffering themselves to fast unto their God.

This day provides a unique opportunity for Israelites to strengthen their relationship with their God while also mending ties to brethren who may have drifted apart throughout the year. This is a day when Israelites truly become one, preparing themselves for the dark season ahead.

This ordinance can be found in:
Exodus 29
Leviticus 16
Leviticus 23
