UPCOMING EVENTS


​*Online Yizkor Service & Shavuot Celebration: Share Your Dairy!
 Thursday, May 28 at 6:30 PM
​

Check your bulletin for how to join.

Our Shavuot celebration will include:
- Yizkor service in memory of our loved ones 
- Musical “coffee house”/jam - all performers and musicians are asked to bring one or several songs to play, sing and share with us.  You can even share a favourite Jewish music recording!  Bonus points for any songs related to Torah and Chag.
- Torah study - as we celebrate the giving of Torah on Shavuot, it is customary to engage in Torah study that evening. Rabbi Leonard will share some learning to inspire us through the holiday.
- Share your Dairy! - It’s customary to partake of delectable dairy foods in Shavuot. We may not be able to eat at the same table right now, but we can enjoy one another’s food vicariously. Participants are welcome to eat during our celebration, and each participant is invited to present/share one special food item (or more!) that they will be having this holiday.  And if you have a recipe to share, all the better - we can compile and circulate these to the Kehila.
​
