Subject: 9 Things To Explore Before Shavuos

View Online Version ב"ה Shavuot begins Sunday evening, June 1, 2025, and continues through Tuesday, June 3. Dear Friend, Of all the Biblical holidays, Shavuot is perhaps the least-known. There are no public sukkahs, no boisterous seders and no piercing shofars. But its significance cannot be overstated. It's the anniversary of the day when G-d came down on Mount Sinai and gifted us with His Torah. Shavuot, which starts before sunset on Sunday evening, June 1 and lasts until nightfall on Tuesday, June 3, is a holiday rife with significance and deep spirituality. So join us for an all-night Torah study experience (on June 1, starting at 11pm) and then come back the next day (June 2) to hear the 10 Commandments followed by a post-service dairy reception. See details below.  No matter what you're looking forward to, we are here to assist you in making this Shavuot the most memorable and meaningful one yet!
