Join us for our annual Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a special evening of learning, connection, reflection, and celebration of Shavuot—the holiday that commemorates the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. This ancient tradition invites us to stay up late in communal study and explore ideas that connect us to our heritage, to each other, and to the Divine.

This year’s program will include something for everyone: multigenerational programs, a singing circle, Torah study, and dinner! Come for one session or stay for them all.

Check out the schedule, programs, and details below—and be prepared for inspiration, insight, and of course… cheesecake!

Please RSVP, as we’d like an accurate count for dinner attendees.
