Sweet Traditions: How We Celebrate Shavuot
Some holidays announce themselves with shofar blasts or dramatic retellings of plagues and parted seas. Shavuot is quieter, but don't let that fool you. This is the holiday that celebrates receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai, and it's one of our favorites to bring to life here at the JCC because it's really about learning, community, and, yes, an impressive amount of cheesecake.
