On June 12, 2016, Congregation Elim from Tigard, Oregon and friends of Hoshana Rabbah Biblical Discipleship Resources gathered together to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost (also known as the Feast of Weeks or Shavuot).
Please enjoy these photos we took of this wonderful experience connecting to our biblical, Hebraic roots at YHVH’s appointed time and commanded assembly.
