What’s Shavuot?
What’s ShavuotLIVE?
Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that many have never observed before. But we think it's a great one! One of its traditions has been staying up all night, learning in community with others. But we're greedy. We don’t just want all-night...we want all-night AND all-day! So we offer an event called ShavuotLIVE, which creates a marathon of 24 straight hours of learning, for FREE, available anywhere on the planet with internet access. Over the course of its first five years, ShavuotLIVE has reached over 4,000 participants, all around the world!
We’ve invited an incredible slate of presenters, who will collectively teach for 24 straight hours, beginning at 8 pm Eastern on Saturday, May 31st and concluding at 8 pm Eastern on Sunday, June 1st.
You can come for just 1 session, go to 3 or 4, or shoot for 24 in a row! Whatever works for you, we want your Shavuot to be special, and full of learning!
