Erev Shavuot Dinner and Tikkun Leil

Celebrate Shavuot with an evening of great food, meaningful learning, and vibrant community.

5:15pm Dinner | 6:00pm Erev Shavuot Service | 6:30pm Dessert | 7:00pm Learning Sessions Begin

Join us for a festive Shavuot Dinner followed by our Tikkun Leil—a night of engaging, thought-provoking learning led by members of our own community. Whether you stay for one session or immerse yourself late into the evening, there’s something here to spark curiosity, reflection, and connection.

Tikkun Leil Learning Sessions will include:

• Rabbi Russ – Who Wants to Be a Minyanaire?
  Ever wondered what it takes to lead? This interactive session breaks down the honours, rules, and meaning behind our services.
• Rabbi Mark Glickman – The Rabbi’s Speech: Moses Becomes a Man of Words
  A close look at Moses’ transformation from reluctant speaker to powerful voice, and what it means for us today.
• Holly Shifrah – Reading Rainbow: Queer Jewish Literature
  Dive into the richness and diversity of queer Jewish writing and the stories that shape identity and belonging.
• Debra Carnat – Tapestry: Jewish Meditation
  Explore Jewish approaches to mindfulness and meditation, weaving together tradition and personal practice.
• Lorie Abernethy – Jewish Quirks and Quarks
  A playful and intriguing session exploring the unexpected intersections of Jewish thought, culture, and curiosity.

Come for the learning, stay for the cheesecake—and be part of a Shavuot experience that nourishes both body and soul.
