MAKOMNY

A NEW KIND OF JEWISH ​COMMUNITY

SHAVUOT DETAILS AND OPEN HOUSE FORM


Picture
The Festival of Shavuot begins Sunday evening, June 1, 2025. 

Shavuot is a Jewish holiday celebrated to commemorate the giving of the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai. It's also a harvest festival, marking the end of the barley harvest and the beginning of the wheat harvest. 

Shavuot is one of the three pilgrimage festivals, along with Passover and Sukkot. 

On Shavuot, it's traditional to eat dairy foods, especially dairy dishes like cheesecakes, blintzes, ice cream and noodle kugel. These dishes are enjoyed as part of the Shavuot holiday meal.

The tradition of eating dairy on Shavuot is linked to several symbolic and practical reasons. 
One prominent explanation is that it commemorates the 40 days Moses spent on Mount Sinai, as the Hebrew word for "milk" (chalav) has a numerical value) of 40. Another reason is that it symbolizes the "land flowing with milk and honey" promised to the Israelites in the Torah. 
At Makom, we will celebrate in the following ways:​
  • Sunday, June 1 at 3:00-5:00pm - Shavuot Open House in the Bravo's Backyard - Please RSVP below!
​
  • Sunday, June 1 at 8:00-11:00pm - Communal Celebration of Shavuot at Midway Jewish Center. Flyer found below. Join Rabbi Bravo and the Makom community.

  • Monday, June 2 at 11:00am - Festival and Yizkor Service followed by potluck dairy kiddush lunch at the Bravo's Home - RSVP HERE to let us know you are attending and what you can bring for the lunch.
