Tikkun Leil Shavuot!  

Tikkun Leil Shavuot is a Jewish tradition that involves staying up all night on the holiday of Shavuot to study Torah and other Jewish texts. During a Tikkun Leil Shavuot, participants typically study various Jewish texts, both ancient and modern. The goal is to immerse oneself in Jewish learning and to gain a deeper understanding of the Torah

and its teachings.

Congregation Shaarei Kodesh is the only non-Orthodox synagogue in South Florida with a Tikkun Leil Shavuot program from evening until sunrise. Please join us for this planning meeting as we continue our sixteen year streak!
