Shavuot and Pentecost: An Intimate Interfaith Gathering

Join us for an intimate interfaith gathering to explore the dramatic interplay of Shavuot and Pentecost! The Jewish Festival of Shavuot and Christian Pentecost both celebrate powerful collective experiences of revelation. Shavuot celebrates the giving of Torah at Mt. Sinai. Pentecost celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit to the disciples of Yeshua/Jesus who gathered after his death on the eve of Shavuot in Jerusalem.

Both festivals invite us into an experience of revelation that bonds an individual with a community.  Come learn more as Rabbi Marcia Prager and Quaker educator Rebecca Mays guide a sharing adventure, guiding participants in a facilitated Christian-Jewish interfaith dialogue. Our conversations culminate with a festive dinner as Shavuot begins, including traditional Shavuot dairy dishes.
