Community Tikkun Leil Shavuot |
|
Sunday, May 16
8:15 pm to 12:30 am
On Shavuot, when our calendar marks the giving of the Torah, there is a custom to stay up late or even all night as if we were there at Mount Sinai. Join teachers across the Twin Cities for a night of prayer, study, conversation, and community as we participate in ongoing revelation from generation to generation.
We'll begin at 8:15 pm with Shavuot Evening Services; the Tikkun begins at 9 pm and will feature myriad sessions, including the following Beth Jacob highlights:
-
Ethical Meat: Standing Again at Sinai - with Martha Black and Susan Moses-Zirkes
-
Clergy Panel Discussion featuring (among others) Rabbi Adam Rubin & Rabbi Sharon Stiefel
-
Seeing Each Other at Sinai: A Ritual for Shavuot featuring Rabbi Sharon Stiefel
