Shavuot

Shavuot is almost here, and we’re getting ready to celebrate with a night of learning, song, prayer—and, of course, cheesecake! Join us for Tikkun Leil Shavuot at Beth El, featuring a dynamic lineup of teachers and community voices as we honor the giving of the Torah.

Whether you come for the study, the singing, the juggling, or the sweets, there's something for everyone.

*In addition to Tikkun Leil Shavuot on June 1, Shavuot services will be held on Sunday, June 2, and Monday, June 3, beginning at 9:00 am. No registration is necessary for services—all are welcome.
