Please join Congregation Neveh Shalom for a special night of study with Education Director Mel Berwin, Rabbi Daniel Isaak and Cantor Eyal Bitton.
Of course, there will be a cheesecake break! A Shavuot service will be held around 9:30 pm.
Shavuot: Come to Mt Sinai with Us on June 8, Saturday night, beginning at 8 PM
8 PM: Rabbi Sue Morningstar and Dr. Marty Towbin read the Ten Commandments
9 pm: Rabbi Emanuel Ben-David has a very special Power Point presentation to share
10 pm: Rabbi David Zaslow leads a teaching on the Book of Ruth
11 pm: Rabbi Julie Benioff brings folks from Temple Emek Shalom to lead a special teaching
Rabbi David says, “Shavuot is the anniversary of when our people received the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai. It is an auspicious night to come together as a community. Hearing the Ten Commandments is powerful in itself but the words have the power to penetrate each individual and bring personal revelation and healing to some personal struggle. We all get free from Egypt, and on Shavuot we find out why. Come join us!”
The Soul of the Matter ~ Who Are You?
This program will offer coffee and Krispy Kreme donuts to nourish your soul… plus:
Soul Searching: Where’s the Soul & Afterlife in the Bible?
11:30 pm, with Rabbi Ken Brodkin
As Jews, we often hear about the eternal soul and the afterlife. Oddly enough, they don’t seem to be mentioned in the Bible. Join us for an in-depth learning session as we look one layer below the surface of the Bible. Delve into the sources and discover a deeper part of yourself!
Panel Discussion: Who Are You?
12:30 am, with Dr. Rivka Berzow, Dr. Charles Kuttner & Rabbi Chanan Spivak (moderated by Rabbi Brodkin).
Join us for a candid conversation as a rabbi and two health professionals explore the nature of the soul and human spirituality. How do we know if we have a soul? Could this simply be an idea that humans fabricated? If we do have a soul, what does that mean for our real day-to-day lives?
Followed by a full night of learning and Neitz (sunrise) Minyan at 4:45 am!
Please join Congregation Neveh Shalom for Shavuot Morning Service, followed by Kiddush Lunch.

Please join Congregation Neveh Shalom for Shavuot Morning Service and Yizkor, followed by Kiddush Lunch.
Join us as Cedar Sinai Park’s great friend Eddy Shuldman conducts our Shavuot Yizkor service with the flair, warmth and interactive style she is known for. We recite Yizkor only four times a year so plan to be with us.
On Shavuot, also called “Yom HaBikkurim,” the Festival of the First Fruits, Jewish farmers used to bundle their first fruits and take them to the Temple as an offering. Connect with this practice and give back to the community through the Bikkurim Parade at Kesser Israel.
In the Bikkurim Parade children will carry their fruit baskets, meet the Rabbi, donate their fruit, and sing a song. Special Shavuot Crowns will be distributed at Kesser Kids’ Time that morning.
Monday, June 10 | Kesser Kids’ Time – 10:30 am | Parade – 12:00 pm
