You can watch some of his videos on youtube. He and other Jews planted barley fields in Israel to re establish the man's knowledge of when the Creator's feast will begin.

Is it okay to change the timing of Moedim? It seems that when the Anti-Messiah changes the Moedim, it will not win him points or favor with <strong><big>יהוה</big></strong>. Daniel 7 certainly paints the act in a negative light. Daniel 7:24-25 (TS98) (24) ‘And the ten horns are ten sovereigns from this reign. They shall rise, and another shall rise after them, and it is different from the first ones, and it humbles three sovereigns, (25) and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to <strong>change appointed times</strong><sup>1</sup> and law<sup>2</sup>, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. Footnotes: <sup>1</sup>This is another word for festivals. <sup>2</sup>Changing the law amounts to lawlessness. Read in 2 Thess. 2:3-12 about “the lawless one” and the “lawlessness” which would take over (indeed, it has already taken over!) in the set-apart place, and also about Messiah’s judgment upon the lawless “prophets” in Mt. 7:23, and the lawless “believers” in Mt. 13:41! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillel_II" rel="nofollow">Hillel II</a> may have had good reason to calculate the Moedim when Jew-dah was in Diaspora, but now that Judah is back in the Land of Israel and can see and proclaim the sightings of the Moon from Jerusalem, it would make sense for the Orthodox of Judah to abandon the old calculated system which was a manifestation of the Diaspora. I've heard there are some Orthodox who have taken part in the search for the Aviv Barley, etc... I can only assume they are planning to restore the ancient system eventually and encourage its observance within all Jewish communities in Israel and around the world. The Rabbinic criticism isn't of the Karaite method, but of Karaite <strong>authority</strong> to "declare" the Months and associated Moedim. That is a great question to ask יהוה. Is it okay to change the timing of Moedim? It seems that when the Anti-Messiah changes the Moedim, it will not win him points or favor with יהוה. Daniel 7 certainly paints the act in a negative light.

Daniel 7:24-25 (TS98)
(24) ‘And the ten horns are ten sovereigns from this reign. They shall rise, and another shall rise after them, and it is different from the first ones, and it humbles three sovereigns,
(25) and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times1 and law2, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time. Footnotes: 1This is another word for festivals. 2Changing the law amounts to lawlessness. Read in 2 Thess. 2:3-12 about “the lawless one” and the “lawlessness” which would take over (indeed, it has already taken over!) in the set-apart place, and also about Messiah’s judgment upon the lawless “prophets” in Mt. 7:23, and the lawless “believers” in Mt. 13:41!

Hillel II may have had good reason to calculate the Moedim when Jew-dah was in Diaspora, but now that Judah is back in the Land of Israel and can see and proclaim the sightings of the Moon from Jerusalem, it would make sense for the Orthodox of Judah to abandon the old calculated system which was a manifestation of the Diaspora.

I’ve heard there are some Orthodox who have taken part in the search for the Aviv Barley, etc… I can only assume they are planning to restore the ancient system eventually and encourage its observance within all Jewish communities in Israel and around the world. The Rabbinic criticism isn’t of the Karaite method, but of Karaite authority to “declare” the Months and associated Moedim.
