CELEBRATE SHAVUOT
Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the giving of the Torah to the Jews. The Talmud tells us that God gave the Ten Commandments to the Jews on the sixth night of the Hebrew month of Sivan. Shavuot always falls 50 days after the second night of Passover. The 49 days in between are known as the Omer.
Shavuot is often called the "cheese holiday" for several reasons. According to aish.com, here is one of them: Torah
is likened to milk, as the verse says, "Like honey and milk [the Torah]
lies under your tongue" (Song of Songs 4:11). Just as milk has the
ability to fully sustain the body of a human being (i.e. a nursing
baby), so too the Torah provides all the “spiritual nourishment”
necessary for the human soul.

REGULARY SCHEDULED EVENTS
Havdalah
The Havdalah service marks the end of Shabbat and the start of the work week. The Havdalah service should take place no earlier than nightfall on Saturday night. Nightfall has been said to be when three stars can be seen in the sky. For convenience, our Havdalah begins at 6:00.
Three things are needed for this ritual: a glass of wine, some fragrant spices, and a special Havdalah candle.
We conduct a short Havdalah service reciting a prayer before lighting the special Havdalah candle, smelling and passing the fragrant spices to all attending, saying a prayer over the wine, quenching the candle in the wine and finally singing Eliyahu HaNavi.
