The Cycle of the Jewish Year is described in Parshat Emor, with an emphasis on the centrality of Shabbat throughout:
And the L-rd spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them: The L-rd’s appointed [holy days] that you shall designate as holy occasions. These are My appointed [holy days]: [For] six days, work may be performed, but on the seventh day, it is a complete rest day, a holy occasion; you shall not perform any work. It is a Sabbath to the L-rd in all your dwelling places. These are the L-rd’s appointed [holy days], holy occasions, which you shall designate in their appointed time.”
The major Jewish holidays are the Pilgrim Festivals: Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), Sukkot (Tabernacles); and of course, the High Holidays: Rosh Hashana (New Year) and Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).
You can learn much more about all the Torah Parshot at the excellent and extensive Chabad site here.
And here you can see my other Biblical artwork from the Book of Leviticus.
