A Night of Torah and Togetherness: Shavuot Comes to the Boulder JCC
Shavuot is one of the most meaningful and spiritually rich holidays in Jewish tradition, commemorating the giving of the Torah. One tradition to celebrate the holiday is through study, reflection, and gathering together in celebration. This year, the Boulder Jewish community will continue that tradition with a “Night of Jewish Learning” taking place on May 21, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. This program is presented in partnership by Haver: Boulder Council of Rabbis and Cantors and the Boulder JCC. Participants of all backgrounds will come together for a powerful night of learning, connection, community-building and cheesecake.
A Tikkun Leil Shavuot, the tradition of staying awake late into the night to study Torah and engage in meaningful discussion. Whether someone has spent years studying Jewish texts or is attending their very first Jewish learning event, the evening is intentionally designed to be welcoming and inclusive.
This year’s gathering centers around an especially timely and meaningful question: What does it truly take to build and sustain a holy community? This will be the topic of the panel discussion with clergy, Jewish professionals and volunteers. That panel will begin at 7 pm.
