SHAVUOT LEARNINGSHAVUOT LEARNING Start the summer on a high with Shavuot at Lincoln Square Synagogue. We are going to launch the yom tov with a Tikun Leil Shavuot to fill your heart and stretch your mind, arousing religious passion and training the brain. Our amazing clergy team and guest speakers will keep you enthralled through the night. Hear about the interplay of science and halacha with world expert Professor Chaim Sukenik, postmodernism, Jewish

attitudes towards sexuality and love, mystical numbers, writing and translating the Bible.

For those who can't stay up (and those who can), we will have learning both before and after Mincha on both days, with top speakers Rabbi Marc Angel, Rabbi Mark Wildes and others.

See the back page for the full Tikkun Leil Shavuot schedule and topics.
