Did the Jewish believers in Acts 2 continue meeting in the temple?

The early Jewish believers did continue meeting in the temple. The temple was still operating under the heavy arm of Judaism, and the account shows they met in the temple. They also had all things common, sold possessions and goods, and parted them to all.

Les explains that these Jewish believers were still under the heavy arm of Judaism, with the temple still operating, and they continued to meet in the temple. He notes that they had all things common, sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, not just the men. Les suggests they were so ready to sell private holdings because they expected the kingdom to be just over the horizon. If the whole nation of Israel responded, Christ would return and establish the kingdom, so houses and lands would not be needed.
