A Virtual Tikkun Leil Shavuot
Thursday, May 28 from 7pm-10pm Eastern
Over the past two months, our J Stream platform has allowed our movement to come together to learn, engage with one another and take action.
There is a tradition on Shavuot to stay up all night studying in celebration of the Jewish people receiving the Torah. While we won't be staying up all night, our first-ever Tikkun Leil Shavuot will provide three hours of programming dedicated to learning and community.
After greetings, introductions and some cheese-cake recipe flexing, Rabbi Jill Jacobs will headline our first session after which you’ll have a choice of sessions based on your interests.
