Join us to celebrate the holiday of Shavuot, the Time of the Giving of Our Torah.
Tikkun Leyl Shavuot, Sunday, June 1, 8–10pm IN PERSON AND ONLINE
Text study is traditional for erev Shavuot and this year we will convene two separate groups to do a close reading of the Book of Ruth, chosen by our sages because of its connection to both the agricultural and spiritual dimensions of the holiday.
Rabbi Karen will lead the in person discussion from the shul. We will begin with a short ma’ariv service and then dive into the text. We also celebrate by eating delicious dairy foods provided by the Holiday Committee. Please contact Diane if you would like to assist with set up and refreshments.
Rabbi Ellen Triebwasser will convene our discussion on Zoom for those who would like to study online. She will screen share the text for easy access. Zoom access link is in our email newsletter, or REGISTER HERE
