🌸 Chag Shavuot Sameach! 🌸
Shavuot begins at sundown today and celebrates one of the most powerful moments in Jewish history, the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is a holiday of learning, flowers, and of course, delicious dairy food. We hope you enjoy cheesecake, blintzes, and all the good stuff!
A quick note: the J building closes at 5:00 pm on Thursday, May 21 and will be closed Friday, May 22 in observance of the holiday.
Wishing our entire community a sweet, meaningful, and joyful Shavuot. Chag Sameach!

A mitzvah a day ....

A mitzvah a day ....

Selflessness, lovingkindness, loyalty . . .

These are some of the major themes in the Book of Ruth, which is traditionally read on Shavuot, and they’re also themes that are relevant for the holiday celebrating the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people.

Many of the mitzvot (commandments) the Israelites received at Mt. Sinai are based on these values. For an easy way to reinforce them at home--and turn them into deeds instead of just thoughts--download or print our "Mitzvah a Day" chart. Just search "mitzvah" on the PJ Library website.
