Tikkun Leil Shavuot
Sunday, May 16
On Erev Shavuot, we prepare to receive Torah by studying and learning, traditionally late into the night. This year, we invite you to select from a curated collection of online and downloadable study opportunities. Choose your own learning opportunity: online or offline, before or during Yom Tov, on your own or with friends.
Share the Learning on Yom Tov Afternoon
Monday, May 17, 2:30-4pm
Hybrid: in-person & on Zoom
Socialize and share observations and revelations from these Shavuot learning opportunities, in person, at Beth Israel Center. Zoom participants also welcome.
Please email office@bethisraelcenter.org for Zoom links or to RSVP to Monday afternoon in person.

Online on Erev Shavuot
We are also pleased to co-sponsor this community program featuring panels and breakout rooms with Madison Jewish clergy, including Rabbi Betsy, and mental health professionals.
We can think of times of uncertainty as liminal experiences, that is, moving through an indeterminate passage toward an undefined future. As our biblical forebears left Egypt on their way towards an indistinct encounter with God at Sinai, today we too are traversing an indefinite passageway toward an uncertain future. Along the way we become injured, we lose ourselves, and we remain rudderless if we forget the values of Torah that help us maintain course. Join Madison’s Jewish communal leaders, along with experts in the field of mental health, as we explore the realities, challenges, and opportunities of our times.
