ECJS wishes you and your loved ones a Happy Shavuot |
|
June 8 in
the evening to June 10. Shavuot marks the anniversary of the day the Jewish people received the Torah at Mount Sinai. The name Shavuot means weeks. This refers to the seven week counting period between Pesach and Shavuot. These seven weeks are a time of introspection and self-improvement - a time of preparation for receiving the Torah. The main mitzvah of the holiday of Shavuot is listening to the 10 commandments which are read in the synagogue on the first day of Shavuot. If you need help finding a
synagogue near you or wish to join in a Shavuot celebration,
please contact s.ives@ecjs.org
and we will be happy to help you. |
