What is Shavuot? What is 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 want MORE than just all-night learning. We want all-night AND all-day! So we're putting together 30 straight hours of learning, featuring a rich diversity of presenters, from many different continents!
We’ve invited an incredible slate of presenters, who will collectively teach for 30 straight hours, beginning at 6 pm Eastern on May 15th and continuing until 11:59 pm Eastern on May 16th.
