Join your friends and neighbors for an all-night educational and cultural experience at the 4th Annual Brookline Community Tikkun Leil Shavuot! From bagel making to star gazing to meditation to text study, there's a variety of traditional and innovative programming. Come for one hour, or stay up all-night! For more information, including session descriptions, service times/options from sponsoring organizations, and to RSVP and volunteer, visit www.charlesriverlearning.com.

On Shabbat, May 26 - on the holiday weekends of Shavuot and Memorial Day - join us for WSM's first ever MEAL HOP! After tefillah, join your friends as you "hop" to three different homes in either the Coolidge Corner or Washington Square area, and eat your shabbat meal in stages! At house #1: Kiddush and appetizers. At house #2: Motzi/Challah, main course and birkat hamazon. At house #3: Dessert! The "hop" will end by 3:30. This is a unique opportunity to spend a shabbat meal with many of your Washington Square Minyan friends, and to make new ones! (The food will be either meat or pareve with vegetarian options available.)
To make sure we have the right number of hosts for the Hop, please let us know if you'd like to come by this Friday, May 18.
