- Shemini Atzeret is the Last Great Day of the Feasts of the Biblical year according to Leviticus 23. "Shemini" means eighth (8th), while "Atzeret" means conclusion or gathering. It comes from the Hebrew root "atzar" meaning "to hold back" or to "tarry". In that connotation, it is seen as an added day to spend with Yahweh, which brings the feast to a conclusion but also it prepares for the beginning of a new cycle.
