Stranger Things Shavuot 2017/5777
Tikkun Leil Shavuot - Learn-a-Thon
Jewish life is truly stranger than fiction. Join us for a night of study with Congregation Shaarei Kodesh from sunset to sunrise at our annual Tikkun Leil Shavuot. Together we will learn about all of the strange things in our tradition, from witches and warlocks, to giants and angels, to the strangers in our midst, and more.
Join "Team CSK Scholars" and raise funds for CSK during our Shavuot "Learn-a-Thon." Our goal is to raise $1800.00. Participants can be sponsored for each hour they learn during our Tikkun Leil Shavuot (suggested donation is $18 per hour) or donate a specific dollar amount. Ask your friends and family members to sponsor you or donate to CSK in your name. Share this link to support CSK.
Our all-night study session will include delicious refreshments and will conclude with a sunrise minyan at approximately 6:15 am.
For those who cannot attend the sunrise minyan, there will be a regular first day of Shavuot service at 9:30 am, led by Cantor Yakov Hadash.
