Shavuot begins this Saturday night, June 4.  There is a Kabbalah-based custom to remain awake the first night of Shavuot, studying Torah.  Get ready to pull an all-nighter. 

The Omer helps navigate the unknown terrain between Pesach and Shavuot, which is why it may be both an exciting and daunting time. We are meant to ascend, both temporally and inwardly, the space between being in Egypt and arriving at Mount Sinai.

After a two year "hiatus", Shavuot celebrations are back in person!

We are gearing up to Shavuot, the holiday of the Giving of the Torah, this Saturday night through Monday night.

Although, you are busy celebrating the Bolder Boulder and the Memorial Day Weekend, we are gearing up for the highlight of the year...Shavuos!

...What I did know was that numbers terrified me to the extent that I flunked elementary school math...

This Shabbos is the twelfth day of the Hebrew month Sivan. It is considered the culmination of the Shavuos holiday...

In the period between Passover and Shavuot there is a commandment to count the Omer. Why?

The counting of the omer concludes with Boulder's all-night Shavuot program.

The highlight of the Shavuot service is the Reading of the "Ten Commandments". Every year we experience anew the Sinaitic transmission of the Torah by G-d.

Finally! The counting of the omer concludes and the community-wide Shavout celebration takes place this weekend.
