Shavuot

On Erev Shavuot we welcome the festival with a thoughtful period of meditation and prayer. The highlight is our Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a concentrated education program following the evening service and proceeding well into the night. Of interest to adults, b’mitzvah students and their families and post b’mitzvah aged youth.

During our Shavuot morning service, the Book of Ruth is read and our Year 7 class re-enacts the biblical Bikkurim (First Fruits) ceremony. B’nei Torah, a ceremony that marks a milestone in our children’s Jewish education, is observed annually at this time by Year 11 students.
