Shavuot is the holiday of Matan Torah. The time of year when we receive the Torah anew and take responsibility for it. What is our Torah this year? What are the mitzvot that the situation in the country commands us to commit to? This year we will dedicate the Tikun to conversation and lectures on the social Torah that is being handed down to us this year. We will host Iris Chaim, the mother of the late Yotam Chaim, in conversation with Rabbi Esteban Gottfried, and we will study with Rabbi Tamar Elad Appelbaum, Dr. Nachman Shai, Zeev Dagni, and Michal Beinisch.
Together we will welcome the holiday with singing, prayer, and learning about the repairs that it is our turn to install.
When? Thursday 29.5.25 between 19:00-22:00
where?
Beit Shalom Aleichem, Berkowitz 2 Tel Aviv.
