Erev Shavuot

Sunday evening, June 1 at 7:30 PM

Tikkun Leil Shavuot

Study Sessions

It is a custom dating back to the antiquity but popularized starting in the sixteenth century by the mystics in Safed to stay up studying all night on the evening of Shavuot as we anticipate the anniversary of the Revelation at Mt. Sinai and the giving of the Torah in the morning on the sixth of Sivan, seven full weeks after Passover. HaMakom will be holding such a study session (well, maybe not ALL night!) on Sunday, June 1, starting at 7:30 PM at the home of Deborah Avren and Len Goodman. We would love for individuals to volunteer to lead a segment of study that evening - we'll be studying Torah writ large, so virtually any Jewish topic is appropriate. If you are interested in preparing a session, please contact Rabbi Jack at physicsrabbi@gmail.com to coordinate our agenda.

FRAGRANCE FREE, PLEASE!

Respecting the health and well-being of our members, please refrain from wearing scented body oils and fragrances when attending services. Todah rabah.

Below you will find a link to an upcoming online course developed and taught by My Jewish Learning. Titled “Earth, Wind and Fire: The Origins of Jewish Environmental Ethics” it delves into the biblical call to care for people and the earth and provides a Jewish framework to strengthen us in the struggle for environmental sanity. The course is four Thursday sessions, beginning on May 22.

We Remember Them

Yahrzeits



Rebecca Weintraub

mother of Barbara Weintraub



Donate to honor the memory of departed loved ones

and support HaMakom

The observance of Yahrzeit is a sacred mark of reverence for the beloved departed; remembering them imparts a dimension of sanctity to our lives as we join together to recite Kaddish at services. Our noble tradition also invites us to kindle a memorial candle at home, and to make a memorial offering in honor of the person who is being remembered.
