Shavuot
at Valley Chabad
Shavuot: May 19 – 21, 2018
Message from the Rabbi

Dear Friend,

3,330 years ago, the children of Israel stood as one nation at the foot of the Mount Sinai and received the Torah from G-d. Each year on the holiday of Shavuot, this historic event is re-lived as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah.

At Valley Chabad we're excited to bring the 10 commandments to your entire family. Please join us at our annual Ice cream party and Ten commandments reading. Children and Adults alike will enjoy this wonderful gathering!

Please find more information about the holiday and our programming below.

Wishing you a happy Shavuot,

Rabbi Dov Drizin

10 Commandments

Sunday, May 20th, 11 am

Come with your entire family to hear the 10 Commandments read from the Torah, as it was read on Mount Sinai!

Our Sages explain that before G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish People, He demanded guarantors. The people suggested our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; but these were not sufficient. They cited many other great leaders and people but G-d did not accept them either! Finally, they declared, "Our children will be our guarantors!" G-d immediately accepted and agreed to give them the Torah.

The Jewish Children were — and still are — the guarantors and transmitters of the Torah. Our commitment to their education has always been the best assurance to the continuity of Torah and Mitzvoth . When G-d gave the Torah on Mt. Sinai, every Jewish child was present. Let us ensure that our children will be there this year too!

Shavuot Picks

Shavuot is a time when we recommit ourselves to Torah study, and affirm our membership in the Jewish nation. Take a few moments and read some interesting and new handpicked Shavuot features from our site. You’ll find something to share with your family, and perhaps gain a new perspective on Shavuot.
