Tikkun Leyl Shavuot 5783/2023
Thursday, May 25, 8:00 pm PT, via Zoom
With Am Tikvah, Ner Tamid, Or Shalom & Beth Ohr of Studio City.
Join the congregations of the Southside Jewish Collaborative for an evening of study, music, and reflection. We will hear the echoes of the moment of the Giving of Torah, shed new light on beloved texts and familiar blessings, and receive the words of the “Ten Commandments” that call us, like the words in this beautiful art piece by Rabbi Me'irah, to “Tzeh Ul’mad! Go and Learn!”
Click here to join the Zoom meeting on May 25. Hosted by Ner Tamid.
