Tikkun Leil Shavuot
Thursday, May 25, 7:30pm
Shavuot is the culmination of the Omer period, the 49 days that we count starting the second night of Passover, as we journey with our ancestors from liberation to this moment, standing at the foot of Mount Sinai ready to receive and accept the Torah. We come together to study in celebration of this holiday.
This year, we explore some of our texts through the lens of machloket lashem shamayim (arguments for the sake of heaven).
If you love to debate, look at things from a new perspective, challenge what you think you know about right and wrong, or enjoy some cheesecake, this is an evening for you.
Come learn and nosh with us on Thursday evening, May 25!
