Kiddush Learning: Sinai Re-visited: Elijah's Mountaintop Moment
The Bible is full of subversive sequels, retellings of familiar tales with a profound twist. We'll engage in a close reading of the Book of Kings and join Elijah as he retraces Moses' steps to the place where it all began one Shavuot eve so long ago -- and meets God who is nothing like what he (or we) had been led to expect.
Light festival candles (ner shel yom tov and shehechiyanu) no earlier than 8:43 pm for the second day of Shavuot, from a pre-existing flame.

Temple Israel wishes you and yours a sweet, healthy, learning-filled Shavuot 5781.
