Be sure to join us on Tuesday, June 11, at 7:30 p.m., on Zoom, for Tikkun Leil Shavuot and our special guest, Professor Rebecca A. Kobrin, the Russell and Bettina Knapp Associate Professor of American Jewish History at Columbia University. Professor Kobrin will talk with us about  Palestinian protests on the Columbia campus and the Jewish response to the rise of antisemitism.

Joining Professor Kobrin on the Shavuot program are several other speakers offering present-day insights that relate to the holiday.

Shavuot often is observed by staying up through the night for discussion and learning. Our Tikkun is two hours, and I feel certain you will find it is two hours well spent — informative, thought-provoking, amusing at times, and an opportunity for a welcome and meaningful back-and-forth with our guests.

See you on June 11, on Zoom, at 7:30 p.m.
