We hope this finds you well! With Yom Ha'atzmaut behind us, we look forward to Shavuot in another few weeks. As we prepare for the holiday, we count the omer - counting "up" with anticipation to receiving the Torah. There are a number of classes / programs (both regularly occuring and special events) coming up that can also help us prepare for Shavuot by deepning our connection to Torah and to one another. Please see below for this week's schedule!
