2009 Feast of Tishri, Spokane

September 10, 2009

7:15 p.m.

Spokane Masonic Center

*

  One of the most special events of the year, your Scottish Rite leadership has extended an invitation to the Spokane York Rite to exemplify portions of their elite degree work that directly and very specifically re-enacts the celebrations at the completion of King Solomon's Temple in the year 953 B.C.E.

  Last year at this event you may remember our popular "Medieval Banquet."  This year we will skip back another 2000 years to the days of Hiram Abiff and celebrate together the creation of the first permanent home of the Arc of the Covenant.  In keeping with the spirit of Brotherhood and Friendship, we invite each participant to join in with the spirit of the celebration and do what they can to don the attire of the era. 

Park your mouse over the following images for descriptions of pictures from 2008:

  Entertainment, games, skits and program will all be geared toward the time period and the geographical area around ancient Jerusalem at that time in history.  This is a public event and open to the public, age 12 and above.  This is a perfect time to invite your neighbor, your friends and those with whom you toil to come share our Friendship and Goodwill and to observe some of the core elements on which our Fraternity is based.

  In an effort to bridge the gap between the millennia, this year we reveal for the first time the opportunity for participants to register and send payment here through the secure PayPal system.  You need not be a PayPal member, any major credit or debit card will work.  It seems that most folks have gradually moved away from carrying check books these days and opted for the convenience, speed and added security of the bank card procedures.  This you can do on this site by selecting the options, above.

Parking is available in the Diamond Parking Lot

at 1400 W. Main Avenue, or on the streets to the north and south of the Spokane Masonic Center.
