Nehirim | Tikkun Leyl Shavuot in the East Bay

A unique community-wide celebration and night of Torah study, a spiritual journey bringing together Jews with varied perspectives and affiliations. Stay for an hour–or stay until dawn. We will be led in study by teachers from our diverse Jewish community. Nehirim Assistant Director Sasha T. Goldberg and Engagement Associate Dr. Zvi Bellin will be leading workshops, along with Nehirim community members Reba Connell and Noach Dzmura.

Family Programming:
This year family programming will be offered in the early evening. Children must be accompanied by at least one parent. No pre-registration will be required. Sessions include ages 2-5, grades K-2 and grades 3-6.

Childcare:
Following Family programming there will be FREE childcare/sleeping room, (ages 2 and up) until the end of the Tikkun allowing parents to participate in the sessions without their children in tow. Parents must pre-register their children and provide bedding. Parents may not leave the JCC while their children are in childcare.

Morning Torah Services:
In addition to the two morning services at the JCC where the 10 Commandments will be read from the Torah at dawn (One Orthodox Service and One Combined Egalitarian Service), there will be an opportunity to join with Wilderness Torah and hear the 10 Commandments read on the top ofMount Tamalpais.
