Join us for a special Shavuot night of learning as we enjoy a dairy dinner and study late into the night to reenact receiving Torah at Mount Sinai. The theme for the evening will be "Visions of the Jewish Future". 

We look forward to learning from Shearith Israelites and the greater Atlanta Jewish community members on topics related to the evening's theme. The program will include a panel discussion moderated by Samara Minkin, Executive Director, The Spring, featuring Dov Wilker, Regional Director, AJC Atlanta/Southeast and Eytan Davidson, Regional Director, ADL, and Emily Kaiman, Deputy Director of Jewish Communal Engagement, J Street; Deputy Director J Street Georgia, as well as moderated text study, break-out learning sessions with teen leaders, Paul Root Wolpe, Marshall Duke, and Ori Salzberg, and a closing session facilitated by Rabbi Kaiman, Rabbi David, and Ori Salzberg.

Shavuot dinner is sponsored by Amy & Scott Jacobson in memory of Hazzan Joseph Joshua Wieselman and Katherine Wieselman.
