Tikkun Leyl Shavuot with the Mission Minyan May 22, 2007

You say you want a revelation?

Join the Mission Minyan for Shavuot, the pilgrimage festival that we’ve been counting down (or up) to since Pesach that marks the giving of the Torah. Here in San Francisco, we celebrate it by making pilgrimages to the Mission and staying up all night to study – to make sure we aren’t asleep when revelation comes.

Tikkun Leyl Shavuot (aka all night learning!)

11:45 PM - 6 AM, Tues night/Wed morning May 22-23

Thanks so much to our friends at CSV for opening their space to us!
We are thrilled to be in this lovely space again.

We will open them on the hour, so time your arrival accordingly.
