A Weekend with Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Benjamin Segal

4/26/2018

 
Picture
Shavuot is May 19-21 this year, and we are pleased to have Rabbi Benjamin Segal as our Scholar-in-Residence that weekend, sponsored by Adath Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery and Chevra Kavod Hamet Burial Society.
So, what is Shavuot? Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Tradition has it that all of us stood together at Sinai, and prepared ourselves for the gift of the Torah. Shavuot is a joyous holiday in which we reaffirm our commitment to Judaism and to the spiritual journey of Jewish learning.

Today, Shavuot is marked with special prayers, foods, the reading of Megillat Rut (the biblical Book of Ruth) and most importantly, the unique custom of Tikkun Leil Shavuot (an all-night Torah study session). 

We hope you'll join us for a weekend of learning. Below is the full schedule of services and special events, as well as information on our Scholar-in-Residence, Rabbi Benjamin Segal.
