SHAVUOT 5777

Dear Friends:

Shavuot is the holiday of Torah study! We are

very proud of our annual Tikun Leil Shavuot which

brings the community together in an atmosphere of

Torah learning and unity, with educators from

Young Israel, TMK, NCSY, Bnei Akiva, Yeshivat

Kadimah, and EHA. It is a reflection of the very unity

we seek in preparation for Matan Torah.

Please note that the adult shiurim will all take

place in the back section of the Beit Midrash. The

youth program will take place in designated

sections of the sanctuary and social hall.

As we have reiterated in previous years, there is

little value in staying up through the night if it is not

for the purpose of learning Torah. To help maintain

this elevated atmosphere, we have designed the

program so that the youth have separate programs

for boys and girls. If your child is planning to

participate, please help us by ensuring that he/she

understands the purpose of this experience, is age

appropriate, and is committed to appropriate

behavior. The youth program is focused primarily

on 8th grade and above. If you have a child in

middle school interested in joining please make

sure a designated adult will be in shul who will take

active responsibility for him/her. We have

also organized security to monitor pedestrian traffic

on Delmar. Children will not be allowed to

congregate outside of the synagogue building, in

order not to disturb the neighbors. Please make

sure that your children understand that in order to

participate they must be in shul and involved in a

learning program.

Thank you for your understanding and your

partnership.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Shulman
