Shabbat and Shavuot Schedule 5772

Shavuot is a biblical holiday celebrating the receiving of the Torah at Sinai, as well as the bringing of the first fruits at the time of the Temple. As a Yom Tov, the laws are similar to Shabbat, with the exception of preparing food, transferring fire, and carrying. There are no particular mitzvot of Shavuot (like Shofar or Matzah) aside from “And you shall rejoice on your festivals.” There are some prevalent customs – for example, eating dairy Shavuot morning (like mother's milk) and staying up all night learning.

Friday night – musical Kabbalat shabbat, with minchah at 6:30.

 

Saturday morning – regular davening at 9:30

 

Saturday night – Shavuot starts when Shabbat ends. There will be no formal davening at Aish. And here is the schedule for the community-wide Shavuot celebration:
