Yom Teruah
The Ancient Jewish Wedding
Yom Teruah is a two day festival falling in the Autumn (September or October) of each year, on Tishri 1 & 2. Yom Teruah literally means "Day of the Awakening Blast". Other names for the two-day holiday include Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year), Yom Ha’Zikkaron (Day of Remembrance), Yom HaMelech (Day of the King), Yom HaKiseh (The Hidden Day) and Yom HaDin (Day of Judgment). It is also called The Feast of Trumpets, Feast of the Last Trump and Feast of the Born Again. Blowing the Shofar on Yom Teruah is the only specific commandment for the holiday. Yeshua said no man knows the day or the hour. This was actually an indication that the “catching away” would take place on this “hidden” festival. Beit Yeshua gathered on Friday, September 18, 2009 to celebrate the Biblical Festival. We were joined by many of our friends from Vision For Israel, Highway to Zion, Beit Shofarot, Christian Friends of Israel, Christ Alive Church, as well as a variety of other churches and congregations.
About 100 came to the celebration. Many dressed in white as a symbol of purity and also as a reminder of the 2nd coming of Messiah Yeshua and His future marriage to Believers.
There was a time of praise, worship and dance before "The Ancient Jewish Wedding" Drama

I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck. And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth.
