Shavuot celebrates the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and in our excitement for this defining moment, we stay up late (but not too late) studying Torah and eating cheesecake. This year, come study the Ten Commandments with our ten amazing teachers:
- Becky Weiss
- Moira Jones
- Aviva Walls
- Halli Weiner
- Melanie Eisen
- Rabbi Kalender
- Rabbi Bedo
- Neil Epstein
- Cary Schwartzbach
- Debra Ackerman
