Shavuot Under The Stars

Many of us look forward to this celebration as the culmination of counting the days of the Omer – Shavuot (in 2025 it falls on Sunday, June 1). On Shavuot (Feast of Weeks), we commemorate the events of Sinai when all Israel witnessed God’s presence and heard his mighty voice. And much of this celebration is focused on being together and engaging God’s words as a community.

You may have celebrated Shavuot before, but have you celebrated it Tikvat David style? We call our Shavuot celebration “Shavuot Under the Stars” because it’s always an outdoor event. It is traditional to eat dairy on Shavuot, so every year we like to commence our celebration indoors with dairy (usually some ice cream with toppings). Yes, we eat dessert first and explain the tradition! Then we make our way to Synagogue Lawn, where we grill some kosher meats. After dinner, we gather around the fire pit and study and discuss Torah under the stars, late into the night. At some point, vegan smores come out, too.

Shavuot Under the Stars – Sunday, June 1, from 6 p.m. and late into the night.

It’s a family-friendly event and it’s free! You are invited, so come and bring your friends. Please donate to your local Synagogue and help us build a Yeshua-centered Judaism for Israel and the Nations. Help us keep the kosher hot dogs flowing as we share Hashem’s goodness under the stars.
