Shavuot is a holiday that commemorates the traditional anniversary of Jews receiving the Torah. To celebrate, we stay up late studying Torah in a custom called Tikkun Leyl Shavuot, or "Rectification for Shavuot Night." This year, as COVID-19 prevents us from gathering in person, radical and leftist synagogues from cities across the country are virtually joining together for a late night of learning. We’ll also be raising money for a number of causes and campaigns: Ezra Uganda Assistance Fund, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, Black Mama's Bail Out.
Workshops will feature everything from cooking workshops and text studies to panel discussions and skill shares. And there will be a late night dance party, too.
So come in your PJs for a Shavuot sleepover party (and you don’t even have to stay up all night!) (But you can!!!!)
All are welcome, regardless of membership in any of the partnering synagogues, or religious affiliation. We can't wait to learn from and with you!

All workshops will happen online. A schedule will be sent out to registrants before the program.
And as we plan for this event, we want to make sure we do our best to meet everyone's access needs.
We're attempting to create as inclusive and accessible an event as possible for all members of our communities. This includes people who are neurodivergent, Deaf, hearing impaired, blind or low vision, or who have learning or other kinds of disabilities not listed. It also includes people who have limited internet access.
If you have any specific access needs or requests for accommodations, including but not limited to ASL interpretation or CART, please email info@hinenubaltimore.org by Wednesday, May 27th.
