Shabbat Shalom, to the 12 Tribes scattered abroad,

All praise to the Most High Yah.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, Exodus 20:8.

This message is for parents, guardians, and the families of the twelve tribes scattered abroad. It is serious, it is loving, and it is necessary.

Of all the pagan customs forced upon our people during slavery, Christmas stands at the forefront. It is a holiday I once loved during my time in Christianity. Yet long before I came into the truth, the Most High quietly removed it from my heart in preparation for my awakening. Now I understand why, and I am so grateful that He did.

When our people were human trafficked and enslaved, our captors did not only steal our labor, language, and land. They also forced false worship upon us. They introduced feasts and customs that are in direct defiance of Yahuah and His covenant. Christmas is one of those customs.

Even more abominable is what is commonly served on this day, the unclean pig, something Yah clearly forbids His people not to eat. Leviticus 11:7. This is not small. This is deliberate disobedience wrapped in tradition.

Baal worship is not new. It has simply been modernized to make it acceptable. The evergreen tree erected and decorated in our homes is not harmless decoration. Scripture warns us clearly in Jeremiah 10:2–4 to learn not the way of the heathen, nor to cut a tree from the forest, deck it with silver and gold, and set it up. That practice is forbidden by Yahuah.

Elijah openly defied Baal in 1 Kings 18, yet today many Israelites unknowingly bow to the same false god when gifts are placed at the base of that tree. Whether done knowingly or unknowingly, Yah judges action, not intention.

What makes this even more serious is that we pass these practices down to our children. Scripture warns us in Matthew 18:6 that whoever causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for him that a millstone be placed around his neck. Yah takes the training of children very seriously because they are our legacy and our heritage.

We are commanded to guide them righteously. Proverbs 22:6 tells us to train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it. We cannot train them in Torah while modeling rebellion.

Year after year, we indulge in what Yah never commanded, then wonder why we remain in the land of our captivity. Scripture shows us that collective disobedience brings collective consequence. In Joshua 7, Achan hid the Babylonian garment and gold, and all Israel suffered defeat in battle. One act of covenant violation affected the entire nation.

Yah has always been clear. Love Him with all your heart, all your soul, and all your might, and have no other gods before Him. Deuteronomy 6:5, 14. This must be lived out in action, not just spoken with lips.

Christmas is not our feast. It never was, and it never will be.

To the twelve true tribes of Israel scattered abroad, put it away once and for all. Return fully to the covenant. Teach your children the truth. Walk as the set-apart people you were born to be.

This is not about condemnation. This is about obedience. This is about alignment. This is about love for Yah.

Shabbat Shalom.
