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 l 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.
