On Shavuot we celebrate the giving of Torah on Mt. Sinai. But how did the Five Books of Moses as a literary document come about? The Torah is filled with parallel and often contradictory narratives and laws. How do we account for these discrepancies? What do they tell us about the nature of Torah and who put it together? More importantly, as contemporary Jews, what larger teaching can we draw from this understanding of Torah? June 4, Shavuot Morning Services "Hearing the Voice of  Sinai Today: Women Wrestling with Torah" Services/Yizkor: 10:00 am Using The Torah: A Women's Commentary as a guide, we will explore the biblical account of the divine revelation at Mt. Sinai. Our focus will be on Moses' command to "not go near a woman" in advance of this dramatic moment (Exodus 19:15). Shavuot Friends and Family Services and Blintzes/Tiramisu Making Wednesday, June 4, 10am-12:30pm We begin our celebration of Shavuot at 10am with a musical Family Shavuot Service led by Rabbi Julia - singing, movement, discussion, and storytelling about the holiday of Shavuot. At 11am we head downstairs to the kitchen to create delicious Shavuot delicacies with Patrizia - blintzes and tiramisu! It is a tradition on Shavuot to eat dairy foods because in the verse from Song of Songs (4:11), it is written "Like honey and milk [the Torah] lies under your tongue;" just as a baby is sustained by milk, we are spiritually sustained by Torah. We'll say Kiddush together and taste our efforts. We then join the main sanctuary for the end of the Shavuot holiday service, followed by congregational Kiddush lunch. The Toddlers' Room on our second floor balcony will be open for small children accompanied by an adult. Toys and games are available and the room is equipped with audio feed from the sanctuary.  VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION SHABBAT June 7 at 10am Have you read Torah or Haftarah, helped out in the kitchen for a potluck, greeted on Shabbat morning, participated in the weekly minyan, helped out on a committee, worked on one of our many festivals and celebrations, participated on the Board, or given your time, energy and support to one of our many programs, services and initiatives?
