I find that going with the traditional calendar seems to be the best way. Here is a couple of reasons that make sense to me. First off if we are to drive Judah to jealousy how can we do that if...that group is doing the feast that day and then another group is doing it another day then there is still another group doing it another day. Judah would just look at that and see the confusion and would want no part of that.

The other reason is...

Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,
Until Shiloh comes;
And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.

This tells me that even if Judah is not doing it perfectly the way God wants it says here that until the Messiah comes Judah is the lawgiver and we are to do what Judah does. A Jewish council came up with the current calendar. Since Judah has not changed it why right do Gentiles have to change the calendar? Now am I saying that Judah has it 100% correct? Nope...but until Yeshua comes back I'm sticking with Judah!

    I agree with your points and I can understand the desire to witness to the Jewish people and to acknowledge Judah as the lawgiver.

    Calendar debates have been ongoing for centuries and I find it fascinating that it's even discussed in ancient Christian writings. Reading the Constitutions of the Holy Apostles, it talks about not computing the calendar yourself, but keeping the moedim with "your brethren of the circumcision".

    Regarding the Passover:

    Do not you yourselves compute, but keep it when your brethren of the circumcision do so: keep it together with them; and if they err in their computation, be not you concerned.

    The context:

    It is therefore your duty, brethren, who are redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, to observe the days of the Passover exactly, with all care, after the vernal equinox, lest ye be obliged to keep the memorial of the one passion twice in a year. Keep it once only in a year for Him that died but once. Do not you yourselves compute, but keep it when your brethren of the circumcision do so: keep it together with them; and if they err in their computation, be not you concerned. Keep your nights of watching in the middle of the days of unleavened bread. And when the Jews are feasting, do you fast and wail over them, because an the day of their feast they crucified Christ; p. 447 and while they are lamenting and eating unleavened bread in bitterness, do you feast. 3117 But no longer be careful to keep the feast with the Jews, for we have now no communion with them; for they have been led astray in regard to the calculation itself, which they think they accomplish perfectly, that they may be led astray on every hand, and be fenced off from the truth.
