The traditional way to kick off the upcoming holiday of Shavuot is to stay up all night studying Torah. My shul will be following in that same tradition - though dialed back a bit. We'll be having a study session from 7:30pm - 9:30pm.
To make up for not studying all night, we'll have ice cream there. (Please don't ask me to explain logic of this statement.)
The official announcement is below. If you are in the area, and interested, please don't hesitate to contact me so you can join us for the study evening. The entire Internet is invited.
A Ben & Jerry's Shavuot Study Session
Join Ben (Simon) & Jerry (Jacobs) for an evening of Torah study and ice cream eating on Tuesday, May 22nd, as we usher in the holiday of Shavuot with the traditional night of Torah learning. The study session will run from 7:30pm to 9:30pm and will be held at the home of Rabbi Bass (for directions, contact the office at 703-979-4466). Come for the Torah study, to connect with the holiday of Shavuot, or just to eat some ice cream and kibitz. Everyone is welcome, no Torah study or ice cream eating experience necessary.
For more information, contact Ben Simon at chief.gabbi@gmail.com. See you there!
