“These are the appointed seasons of the Lord, holy assemblies

that you shall call forth in their appointed times.”

(Vayikra 23:4)

“The inner life force of God that exists within all creatures is revealed on these festivals. That is why they are called mikra’ey kodesh, ‘holy assemblies’… [One] can call forth the holiness of these days, and also…the holiness itself calls forth to us.

‘Holy’ refers to the innermost point [of Divine essence within in each creature]. Even though this point gives life to all, it remains separated from the physical being; God is holy and separate. [However, on the Holy Days, this holiness is revealed].”
