Tikkun Leil Shavuot

Tuesday // June 11th // 9:00pm // Zoom

Save the date for Tikkun Leil Shavuot. On the night of the festival of Shavuot (the first night of Shavuot in the diaspora), it is traditional for Jews to stay up and learn Torah – a centuries-old custom known as Tikkun Leil Shavuot. We invite you to spend this evening with us as we hold a Torah study and discuss different passages, and how they apply to our daily lives.


Study Torah for Tikkun Leil Shavuot

Shavuot Yizkor Service

Wednesday // June 12th // 10:00am // Zoom


We invite you to take time this morning on Shavuot to remember the memory of those who are no longer with us, and join our Clergy in the Shavuot Yizkor Service. It will start at 10am on Zoom. Please register below to attend.
