What’s your point?
I’m not defending Israel for their evil sin or obnoxious paganism with regards to that festival.
I’m pointing out that no matter what - according to the Holy Scriptures, God is going to fulfill His Eternal Promises to Israel via some massive chastisement by forcing them to run to Him for shelter.
You can either accept that Scripture (several verses upthread) or reject it and be one of those burdened with Jerusalem.

This is an everlasting, irrevocable, eternal covenant made to the Jews. Believers in the Savior, Jesus Christ, know it is truth. He CANNOT lie and the sins of His chosen people are not going to break the covenant. It's "ironclad". My belief, merely a hunch, is that even though I am 73, I will be taken in an event called the rapture before my death. Believing this premise has me also believing the present day Israel IS indeed the group of Jews who will have their hearts softened and be given ears to hear the eternal truth that Jesus Christ IS the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF ALL and recieve Him as the perfect Son of God. It will happen. Praise the Father for what He has done and what He will do.
