What: On Shavuot we will come to the mountain and elevate our bodies and spirits through the joy, wisdom, and mystery of Torah. Whether you come for part or all of the evening, we hope you’ll be a part of this immersive experience as we celebrate Torah through art-making, eating and connecting with community, through study, song, and dance! The first part of the evening through dinner is appropriate for all ages. Stay after dinner for adult study, singing, and a dance party.  If the weather is nice we will march with our garlanded Torah down the 34th Avenue Open Street.
