Shabbat
Meetings |
|
|
|
We've moved all festival observations and
celebrations of Beit Yeshua to the Family Life Center of
Covenant Bible Church for additional space. All other
Shabbat meetings will be in the homes of Doug & Lynda Williams
or Chuck & Janice Anthony of Lincolnton, NC. Both types of
meetings are very special. It's wonderful to have the
larger festival meetings and be able to include our friends &
family from other congregations and churches due to the extra
space for seating and dancing. We also value the intimacy
of the small group and the opportunity to continue with our
Torah discussion and midrash there. Bring a kosher snack
and come join us. Please, no pork, jello or shell fish. |

ROSH
HASHANAH / YOM TERUAH
"The Feast of Trumpets"
2010 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Rosh Hashanah is a
two-day festival occurring in the Autumn (September or October) of each year, on Tishri 1
& 2. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish "Civil" New Year and
occurs on September 19 and 20, 2009, and is celebrated
with the sounding of the Shofar (Ram's horn). Even though
it is a two-day festival, Rosh Hashanah is considered one long
day. |
|
|
|
Rosh Hashanah, also
called the Feast of Trumpets, is one of the seven major
festivals of the Lord mentioned in Leviticus 23. As the shofar
is sounded on Rosh Hashanah, we are reminded of the "catching
away" of Believers prior to Yeshua's/Jesus’ return. Themes of
this two-day festival included the Marriage between Messiah and
His Bride as well as the Coronation of the King. Come dressed in
white (if you can) and learn more about this remarkable Feast of
the Lord. Activities in the past years have included Tashlich, Praise, Worship & Dance, and
a dramatic presentation of the parallels between the
Ancient Jewish Wedding and the Wedding of Yeshua (Jesus) and His
Bride of Believers. Why dress in white? You're going to a
wedding! Hopefully when the evening is concluded you'll have a
better understanding of your own Bride-Relationship with Yeshua. |

YOM KIPPUR
"Day of Atonement"
2010 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Yom Kippur, or Day of
Atonement, occurs on Tishri 10 and is the most solemn holiday of
the Biblical calendar year, occurring in the Autumn of the year in September or
October. This year Yom Kippur begins at sundown on Friday,
September 17th. |
|
|
|
The only prohibitions
for Yom Kippur is that you don’t eat or drink. It is a day
of fasting. Only on Yom Kippur would
the High Priest enter into the Holy of Holies to plead for the
people. On Yom Kippur, God’s
judgment is sealed. The entire world is judged this night for
the upcoming year. |

SUKKOT
"The Feast of Tabernacles"
2010 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Sukkot
(pronounced “sue-coat”) is a Hebrew word that means “booths” and
refers to the temporary dwelling the Jews lived in on their
forty year journey from Egypt to the promised land. The first day of
the 7-day festival is the 15th of Tishrei, occurring in September or October of the year.
This year the dates of Sukkot are September 23 - 29, 2010 |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The
Bible commands us to “dwell” in the sukka for seven
days. Dwelling implies
eating, sleeping (if weather permits) and study. We
customarily gather at the home of Doug & Lynda Williams to build
a group sukka, although all are encouraged to build their own
sukka at their home also. |

Hanukkah

Hanukkah
is an 8 day festival occurring in November/December each year,
celebrating God's deliverance of the children of Israel from the
hands of the wicked Antiochus Epiphanes and the Syrians.
After defeating the Syrians, the Jews cleansed the temple but
there was only enough of the holy oil that was used in the giant
menorah to burn for 1 day. Tradition says that a great
miracle happened and it burned for 8 days until more could be
made. |

PESACH
Passover Seder
2011 |
|
|
|
Pesach / Passover is
one of the seven festivals of the Lord, mentioned in Leviticus.
It is the first of the Spring festivals, usually occurring in
March or April each year, on Nissan 14. |
|
|
|
Pesach was first instituted in Exodus 12. Through Moses,
God had commanded that blood from a lamb be smeared on the top
lintel and two side posts of the door. At midnight, the
LORD passed through and killed the firstborn of all the
Egyptians. But when he saw the blood on the lintel and two
side posts of the doors of the Jewish homes, the LORD passed
over that door and they were spared. |
|
|
|
One part of the observance
of Pesach is to eat unleavened bread for seven days. |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
When
Yeshua lived on Earth, He participated in the Passover Seder
each year. The Christian sacrament of Communion was
originally part of the Passover meal. |
