Tikkun Leil Shavuot 5785

Join us on Sunday, June 1, at 6:30 pm for Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a traditional night of learning.

Shavuot celebrates the Israelites receiving and accepting revelation at Mt. Sinai. This transformative experience has defined and challenged the Jewish people ever since. Tikkun Leil Shavuot is a night of study based on the idea that we should rush to participate in important events. Nothing could be more important than revelation. Thus, we study throughout the night, excitedly awaiting the revelation of Shavuot.

A light dairy dinner will be served earlier in the evening. Cost is $10 per person for dinner, no charge for the program. The dinner registration deadline is 12:00 pm on Wednesday, May 28.
