Shavuos is upon us. This festival is possibly the best kept secret in Jewish life. It is one of the most important days on the Jewish calendar, the anniversary of the Ten Commandments (not the movie, the real thing), and yet for some reason it is often overlooked. Many Jews never even heard of Shavuos. Don't miss it this year. Take advantage of one of the two readings of the Ten Commandments (9:30am or 6:30 pm on Wednesday, May 23). Be in shul for Yiskor (Thursday, May 24, 11AM. Light a yiskor candle from an existing flame the night before.). Be there as we relive this most important event in history.
There is also a custom to stay up the entire night of Shavuos and study Torah. The Chabad House will be open and refreshments and coffee will be available. Grab a book of Torah that you have been meaning to read and join us at Chabad. No formal classes will be given, only a warm (yet air conditioned) environment conducive for Torah study. Doors will open at midnight.
P.S. - If you'll be out of town for Shavuot, you can find a local chabad house to hear the reading of the Ten Commandments. We have a complete synagogue search on our website - click here.
Shabbat Shalom & Chag Someiach,
Rabbi Paltiel
