What a celebration!! Thank you dearest friends for joining us for this momentous occasion.

And thank you Andrea for the pictures!

Light holiday candles today and tomorrow.
Celebrate Shavuot with us and hear the Ten Commandments at 5:30 PM.

Every man, women, and child should hear the reading of the Ten Commandments.

Shavuot is the foundation of all the holidays and Mitzvot, because it is the day G-d gave us the greatest gift in the world — the Torah. On this holy day, the Jewish people stood together at Har Sinai and accepted the divine wisdom that guides every aspect of our lives. Every mitzvah we perform and every holiday we celebrate flows from that moment of connection between G-d and His people. Shavuot reminds us that the Torah is not just a book of laws, but the source of our purpose, identity, and spiritual strength in every generation.

Enjoy a magnificent spread of lasagnas, cheesecakes, blintzes, beautiful salads, quiches, and ice cream Bar and so much more.

Dearest Friends,
Candle lighting time is 7:41PM
This Shabbat is special because it has been designated as a Shabbat where Jews around the world try to KEEP ONE SHABBAT IN UNITY.
This Shabbat is more than just another Friday night — it is an opportunity for Jews everywhere to reconnect with the holiness and beauty of Shabbat.The power of even one Shabbat observed more deeply is great! One candle, one prayer, one family meal, one hour disconnected from the noise of the world — these actions bring peace not only into our homes, but into the entire world.
Here are a few simple ways to make this Shabbat special:
🕯️ Light Shabbat candles before sunset
🍷 Make Kiddush over wine or grape juice
📖 Learn a little Torah or share a Dvar Torah at the table
👨‍👩‍👧 Spend meaningful time with family and friends
📵 Put away phones and distractions to truly experience rest
🙏 Attend synagogue or say a prayer from the heart
😊 Add extra joy, kindness, and unity
Shabbat is called “a taste of Gan Eden” — a time when the soul can breathe. No matter where you are on your journey, your Shabbat matters.
May this Shabbat bring blessing, protection, peace, and redemption for all of Am Yisrael.
Shabbat Shalom!
