According to certain individuals who assert the validity of a Torah-obedient lifestyle for present day followers of Yeshua, the biblical Holy Days can’t be kept outside of Yerushalayim. Since they don’t live in Yisrael, they use this as a justification for not celebrating the seven biblical appointed times. They also maintain that YHVH didn’t require the Israelites to celebrate his moedim outside of the Promised Land. They reason that since they are in “exile” outside the land of Israel, it is impossible to properly keep the feasts, and they are, therefore, exempt from having to do so. However, Torah shows us otherwise. If the journey is too far for you to make it then you can keep it where you are at.
Deuteronomy 12:21 TLV [21] If the place Adonai your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of your herd and flock that Adonai has given you—as I have commanded you—and you may eat within your gates, all your soul’s desire.
In Leviticus 23, the Sabbath is mentioned at the first of YHVH’s feasts along with the other seven annual high holy day feasts (Lev 23:1–3). Yet they still keep Sabbath outside Yerushalayim. The implication here is that the Sabbath and biblical feasts come as an indivisible unit. If the seventh day Sabbath is to be kept, then so are the feasts.
In the book of Acts, it tells us that Paul hurried to Yerushalayim in order to keep Pentecost (Acts 20:16), which was one of the four pilgrimage feasts (along with Passover/Unleavened Bread and the Feast of Tabernacles). And at the same time, he commands the believers in Corinth to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread (1 Cor 5:7), which was one of the pilgrimage feasts. He also celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread outside of Jerusalem (Acts 20:6) even though it, like Pentecost, was one of the pilgrimage feasts. Obviously, he didn’t make going to Yerushalayim a condition for observing this feast.
