Join the JCC in community to celebrate Shavuot, the traditionally dairy-filled holiday celebrating receiving the Torah. No matter your Jewish learning background or dairy tolerance, we invite you to join us for casual Torah study and dairy-themed happy hour. Bring a friend to delve into relevant Torah texts in the traditional havruta (paired learning) style, guided by Director of Jewish Life and Learning, Rabbi Atara Cohen. Don’t want to bring a friend? No problem, we’ll find a havruta for you.
Lactaid pills and vegan options will be available. All texts will be provided with translation. Please note that each participant must register individually.
If you have any questions or if the cost of this program is a barrier in any way, please reach out to Rabbi Atara at acohen@edcjcc.org.
