A kids’ ice cream party will take place on Monday, June 2, at 10:30 a.m., followed by a dairy buffet for the entire community to enjoy.
The celebration includes a youth track as well, featuring a special lecture for teens and college students on Tuesday, June 3, at 10:30 p.m., titled “Proud to Be – But Do You Know Why?”.

Shavuot, which begins at sunset on Sunday, June 1, and concludes at nightfall on Tuesday, June 3, marks the anniversary of the Jewish people receiving the Ten Commandments and the Torah at Mount Sinai 3,337 years ago.

Traditionally, Jews stay up all night on the first night of Shavuot, correcting the misstep of their ancestors, who overslept the night before receiving the Torah.
