On Shavuot, Jewish people celebrate the giving of the Torah with an ancient and joyful tradition: staying up into the night to learn together, honoring the idea that Jewish wisdom is alive, renewable, and belongs to all of us. Whether you are a lifelong scholar or brand new to the Jewish tradition of learning, this gathering is designed for everyone.

Join us for an evening—and night—of community, celebration, and learning centered on a powerful question: What does it actually take to build and sustain a holy community?

We'll shine a light on the quiet, often invisible work of chased—loving-kindness—that holds our community together: the people who deliver meals, visit the sick, comfort mourners, and show up for each other in ways big and small. This work is often thankless. We want to change that.

The evening begins at 5 pm with a BYO picnic with family and kids' programming. As the evening unfolds, we'll gather for a community panel featuring clergy and lay leaders, and breakout learning sessions led by rabbis, community leaders, and the very people who do this work every day. At midnight, we move to Congregation Bonai Shalom for late-night learning until 2 am.

The full schedule of classes and teachers will be released by May 1.

No prior knowledge required—just a willingness to show up.

Presented by Haver: Boulder Council of Rabbis and Cantors and the Boulder JCC.

Thursday, May 21 | 5 pm - 11 PM | FREE
