Please join us for our annual fun and educational community gathering.

At CBE, we learn from each other, and share food, especially cheesecake. (When you join us, you’ll learn why we eat dairy on Shavuot!) We will share teachings from Rabbi David and Cantor Sarra, and from our congregants.

Teachings could be Torah study, Jewish topics, games, music, movement, creativity and more. If you have something you would like to teach, please contact adulted@bethelohim.org or let us know in the signup form below. You can teach if you join us in person or via Zoom.

Why do we do this? Shavuot is the historical marker of Moses receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai. According to legend, the Israelites overslept the morning of the giving of the Torah. To "repair" our behavior on the night of the original Shavuot, the kabbalists created a gathering, called Tikkun L’eil Shavuot, or "Repairing the Night of Shavuot", in which we stay up all night learning. (We try to stay up to midnight, but you don't have to!)

We start at 8 PM with a short service/minyan in the sanctuary and then move over to the swing space for the Tikkun at about 8:15 PM. We will be partially indoors and partially outdoors (depending on the weather) and hybrid via Zoom.

Please sign up below.  Let us know if you have a topic to teach and, if you are joining us in person, if you can bring food or drink to share.
