Celebrate Shavuot with TBI! Below are the various Shavuot activities and services over the next few days.
Tonight, beginning at 8:00pm On the anniversary of the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, Temple Beth Israel in Eugene and Temple Beth Sholom in Salem are joining forces to offer a full night of Torah study for the extended community. Grab yourself a dairy treat and study into the night with clergy and lay leaders from both communities. Stay all night, or tap in and out as you have energy and interest. In addition to the classes, there will also be (virtual) space for schmoozing, and breaks are encouraged as well.
