Shavuot Tikkun Under the Stars: Healing in Jewish, Muslim and Christian Traditions
Sunday, June 1 from 7:30 – 9:30pm on the Roof (Rain Location: 5 North)
As the holiday of giving and receiving Torah begins, we’ll greet Shavuot with study, celebration, cheesecake and light nosh on the Ansche Chesed roof. We will be joined by our Muslim partners from the Peace Islands Institute and neighbors from Trinity Lutheran Church. Together, we will study texts about healing from our different religious traditions, as through study and interfaith connection, we heal.
The learning will conclude with a short Festival evening service for Shavuot and end in time to enable those who wish to attend the JCC Tikkun as well.
Walk-ins also welcome.
First Fruits Aliyah
First Day of Shavuot: Monday, June 2 around 10:30am
Every year on Shavuot — the holiday in which ancient Israelites brought bikkurim, the first fruits of their harvests, to the Temple in Jerusalem — AC invites parents of newborns to bring their babies for a celebratory group aliyah. You can come for the whole service, or just slip in for the aliyah around 10:30am. Email Rabbi Yael if you plan to participate or have any questions.
Family Picnic Potluck in Central Park
Monday, June 2, 5:30 – 7pm in Central Park’s Great Hill (Rain Location: Ansche Chesed)
Families, join us for a Picnic Potluck in Central Park (at the Great Hill) to celebrate Shavuot! We will eat, play, and Jacob Kose will lead us in a Shavuot-related nature activity. We provide the cheesecake and blintzes; you bring a delicious kosher* dairy or pareve picnic food, a blanket to sit on and sports equipment!
Book Of Remembrance
The Book of Remembrance lists those close to us who have passed away, but who have not been forgotten. This year we have created a virtual version of our Book of Remembrance that you can add names to throughout the year. You can view the Book of Remembrance here.
