  • Shavuot 2026, Followed by A Taste of Torah (& Cheesecake): Friday, May 22 at 8pm.

    Shavuot Festival Services + A Taste of Torah

    Featured
    Congregation Beth Israel 53 Lois Street, North Adams, MA, United States

    Join us as we celebrate receiving Torah anew at Sinai! We'll begin with a short and sweet festival service at 8pm, featuring the voices of our choir and the praise-songs of Hallel. At 9pm, we'll shift gears to a bit of "late-night" Torah learning with A Taste of Torah (and cheesecake) – enjoying both fresh fruit and dairy desserts (traditional for the holiday) as our rabbi and community members teach short lessons on Jewish music, solidarity lessons from the book of Ruth, and more. If you would like to teach on a Jewish subject, or to share a favorite song, story, or poem, let Rabbi Rachel know by Friday, May 15.
