This area is used for the monthly new moon feast and sabbath day holy calls. The history of the occassion is explained in the book of Jubilee (a book of the Dead Sea Scrolls) stating in Jubilees:6:23-28: "And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new moon of the fourth month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on the new moon of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, festive days also, marking the four divisions of the year: these are written and ordained as a testimony for ever. And Noah observed written and ordained as a testimony for ever. And Noah observed them himself and ordained them as feasts for future generations, so that they have become a memorial to him. On the new moon of the first month he was told to make himself an ark, and on that day too the earth was dry and he opened the window of the ark and saw the earth: on the new moon of the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss below were closed: on the new moon of the seventh month the mouth of the depths of the earth was opened , and the waters began to descend into it: and on the new moon of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen, and Noah rejoiced. So it was that he observed them and ordained them as feasts as a memorial for ever and so they are ordained."

According to the Torah- Nu:10:10: "Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God." and Nu:28:11: "And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs of the first year without spot; Nu:28:12: And three tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram; Nu:28:13: And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil for a meat offering unto one lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD. Nu:28:14: And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine unto a bullock, and the third part of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth part of an hin unto a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year."

The setup is comparable to the story of David, Jonathan and King Saul concerning the three day new moon feast.

1Sa:20:18: Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. 1Sa:20:19: And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. 1Sa:20:20: And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark. 1Sa:20:21: And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth. 1Sa:20:22: But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away. 1Sa:20:23: And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever. 1Sa:20:24: So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat. 1Sa:20:25: And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty. 1Sa:20:26: Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean. 1Sa:20:27: And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day? 1Sa:20:28: And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem: 1Sa:20:29: And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table. 1Sa:20:30: Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness? 1Sa:20:31: For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die. 1Sa:20:32: And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done? 1Sa:20:33: And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David. 1Sa:20:34: So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
