Vladimir Tsapar "Time to Get Your Shofar Ready" September 19, 2026

Vladimir Tsapar opens with a prayer for the community on Mount Carmel as they prepare for Yom Kippur. He shares a personal milestone: today marks exactly half his life spent in Israel and half in Ukraine, celebrating this significant 10,161-day milestone with his family.

Tsapar explains that certain times and seasons are especially important to God, not just to people. He introduces the concept of God's appointed times (moadim) and announces that Yom Kippur begins tomorrow evening, emphasizing these festivals are sacred to the Lord.

The speaker divides the festivals into spring and fall celebrations, listing Passover, Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot. He explains he will approach Yom Kippur from two angles: the prophetic perspective and the perspective of God's redemptive story.
