Shavuot

Counting the Omer is well underway, which means Shavuot is coming up soon! See our full Shavuot schedule below, including Tikkun LIL programming for families and youth, as well as a vibrant schedule of learning, praying, connecting, and noshing for our whole community. Just as the entire Israelite community stood together at Sinai to receive the Torah, we are excited to gather as one large and diverse community and to offer opportunities for engagement for all ages and stages.

Tikkun Leil Proposal Form

Submit Teaching Proposal Here

Interested in teaching a learning session during our Tikkun Leil Shavuot night of learning? Submit your session proposal here to teach during one of 11:30PM-4AM time slots!

If you’re interested in teaching and would like to know more about what this entails or have other questions, please contact Rabbi Benjy Forester

Book Swap

Since we are the People of the Book, it’s only fitting that we will offer a “Leave-a-Book & Take-a-Book” Shavuot book swap.  Please bring Jewishly thematic books that want a new home and check out what others have brought. Tables for book drop off and browsing will be available in Cummings throughout the holiday.  We will NOT be accepting books ahead of Shavuot – they must only be brought on Thursday evening – Saturday morning. 

If you are able to help remove and donate all remaining books after the holiday, please reach out to Chaim Tempesco.
