The Charles River Beit Midrash
Community Tikkun Leil Shavuot
The aim of the Tikkun is to celebrate Shavuot through participation in the experience of revelation. Revelation comes to people in different ways and we seek to provide an experience in which people can tap into the various ways of connecting with God and receiving that gift of revelation.
The Shavuot Tikkun is Tuesday, May 22nd at Harvard Hillel 52 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge MA (map)
