Shavuot/Pentecost on 15 May 2013!

Put simply, this incredibly (unprecedented) early Passover means that Shavuot / Day of Pentecost falls on 15 May 2013, starting on the evening of 14 May 2013 - Israel’s Independence Day! In a time period of 190 years, looking back and forward, this is the only occasion that this occurs.


Just as Israel (on the Gregorian calendar) is remembering the 65th anniversary of Nationhood - Independence Day on 14 May and its first day as a new, miracle nation on 15 May 1948 - Shavuot/Day of Pentecost will be celebrated/ remembered!
