Tikkun Leil Shavuot--Two Ways to Learn and Celebrate!

On the evening of Shavuot, there is a tradition to stay up all night studying Torah as the holiday celebrates the revelation at Mount Sinai. This year, we're offering TWO options for learning and celebrating--both from the comfort of your own home.

Tik-Zoom-Too Leil Shavuot 
Sunday, May 16

with Congregation Beth Israel (Greenville, SC)
Temple Emanuel (Virginia Beach, VA)
Heska Amunah Congregation (Knoxville, TN)
Congregations B'nai Israel & Adath Israel (Danbury & Middletown, CT)
Beit Rayim Synagogue (Toronto, ON)

Join some of our Conservative friends and colleagues who we met and partnered with last year for some more learning, to meet new friends, and to visit with those we may not have seen recently! Both Rabbi Henkin and Linda Sacks will also be teaching during the evening. There is no cost, but please register ahead of time at https://www.bethisraelsc.org/tikkun-leil-shavuot

Conservative/Masorti Tikkun Leil Shavuot (presented by Rabbinical Assembly)
Sunday, May 16, 12:00 pm - Monday, May 16, 12:00 pm

Join Conservative Jews from around the globe for 24 hours of learning! Rabbis, professors, and teachers from around the world will be teaching for free! Feel free to join (or not join) any particular sessions that may interest you! For more information or to register, please go to https://www.rabbinicalassembly.org/civicrm/event/register?id=1349&reset=1 (registration for this program is not required but will allow you to receive updates, schedules, source sheets, and reminders). Please note Rabbi Henkin will be teaching at 7:30 am Monday morning.
