Celebrate Shavuot at Beth Torah! 6:30-9:00 p.m. | May 22
Please join us June 1 to celebrate Shavuot at Beth Torah. We’ll hear the 10 Commandments, we’ll eat delicious dairy desserts, and we’ll have the opportunity to do some traditional and not-so-traditional Shavuot study. Don’t miss any of the festivities!
At 6:30 p.m. - Our Shavuot/Shabbat service and reading of the 10 Commandments.
After the service, it’s time to Schpiel Your Guts. Prepare a three-minute presentation on literally any (family-friendly) topic to share with the congregation. Whether it’s pictures of your dog or a lesson on quantum mechanics, we want to hear from you! We’re also doing a dessert potluck, so bring your favorite dessert to share. This event was a blast last year!
Dairy Potluck
It’s a tradition to eat dairy on Shavuot, so bring your favorite dairy or pareve dish to share!
Call for Presentations
We want you – yes, YOU – to share about your favorite topic at our Schpiel Your Guts sessions. These three-minute presentations can be on any topic, Jewish or not—just make them family friendly. Put a PowerPoint presentation together and share your special interest with the congregation. These casual, low pressure presentations are a great way to learn something new and cheer on your friends.
