Do Christians celebrate the feasts of Israel?
I guess it depends on what type of christian you are. There are SO many different beliefs out there, but I'd have to say as a generalization...not usually are the feasts celebrated by a "christian". Although a "completed Jew", a Jew who believes that Jesus was more than a prophet, may practice both Jewish traditions and christian traditions.

- Several women achieved prophecy (Talmud, Megillah 14a).
- One of the Judges, Deborah, was a woman. Together with another woman named Jael, she brought about a great victory against Canaanite oppressors (Judges ch.4).
- A circumspect husband would seek out the advice of his wife (Genesis 31:3-16), because she could be trusted to supervise the goings-on in the home (Proverbs 31:27), just like a Chief Executive Officer.
