Shavuot 5783/2023
Just 50 days after Passover, Shavuot arrives to remind us of the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It begins with Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a night of communal learning, and continues with services (including the reading of the Ten Commandments), and sharing of favorite dairy dishes, including cheesecake.
Tikkun Leil Shavuot
Shavuot Across Brooklyn
We come together Thursday, May 25th, from 9:00 PM-6:00 AM (or any part of that), to begin Shavuot together as a Brooklyn-wide Jewish community. Shavuot Across Brooklyn, a Tikkun Leil Shavuot (a night of learning) is held at CBE (8th Ave and Garfield). Click here for details.

Make sure you are following us on Instagram for DIY recipes to make at home if you will be unable to join us!
A Taste of Whiskey (Israeli-Style)
At the end of Shavuot/Memorial Day Weekend
Monday, May 29 (Memorial Day) 6:00 PM (PSJC Tent)
In the last couple of years, quietly and slowly, the Israeli Whiskey industry (particularly distilleries in Tel Aviv and the Galilee) became the surprise of the Whiskey world. In fact, this year, the young “Milk and Honey” distillery won the biggest award the whiskey industry has to offer: 2023 World Whiskies Awards.
Thanks to JAFI and UJA, we will have the opportunity to explore the Israeli Whiskey Industry - We will taste nine different Israeli Whiskies from six different distilleries. Our guide on this Whiskey journey will be Joshua Mann, from "Jews and Booze"- an initiative created to embrace the light-hearted side of life, that good Whiskey and spirits are meant to celebrate. RSVP to let us know you can join us, as space is limited.
Scoops on the Stoop for Shavuot
Sunday, May 21 11:15 AM - 1:00 PM or until supplies run out
Going to be out of town? Start the celebration early! Stop by the stoop for a scoop and visit the PSJC Tzedakah Fair.
