Celebrate Shavout! - 05/25/2012

Congregation Shaara Tfille/The Jewish Community Center Celebrates Shavout

Please join Congregation Shaara Tfille/The Jewish Community Center of Saratoga Springs as they ‘Celebrate Shavout’ in traditional fashion on Saturday, May 26th at 7:30 p.m. at the Synagogue located at 84 Weibel Avenue in Saratoga Springs. They will remember this pivotal moment in Judaism when the Torah was given to Moses and its acceptance by the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. A Maariv (evening) service including Havdalah (to conclude Shabbat) will be followed by Tikkun Leil Shavuot, an evening study session. This custom, which goes back to the sixteenth century, will symbolically prepare them for receiving the Torah. There will be an oneg (joy) of dairy desserts following the service. There is no charge for the program. However, in order to plan accordingly, please contact the Synagogue at 584-2370 or saratogajcc@verizon.net to RSVP.
