Celebrate Shavuot with Temple Beth El of South Orange County

Shavuot Tikkun: All Night Learning, Music, and Prayer
With Rabbi K’vod Wieder, Rabbi Jason Rosner,  Rabbi Marcia Tilchin, and Friends
Beginning at 7:00 pm

As a sacred window in time, the holiday of Shavuot invites us into an experience of personal and communal revelation. More than a historical moment, the story of the Israelites receiving Torah at Mount Sinai is meant to be re-experienced by us as an opportunity to receive guidance around how to live our lives more “soulfully” - with a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
 
We hope you will join us in any part of our all night journey using sacred texts, stories, meditation, and music to ascend the mountain of revelation to reveal a Torah that is personal, authentic, and life-giving. Sessions led by our clergy and congregants.  Enjoy delicious dairy desserts, snacks, and strong coffee throughout the evening.
