On Sunday/Monday, June 1 and 2, we will celebrate the holiday of Shavuot. There is a tradition of late-night studying to accompany the holiday, called Tikkun Leil Shavuot, and I am proud to promote a wonderful study opportunity for members of our congregation produced in partnership with URJ Small Congregations. On that evening, there will be about 25 learning blocks spread over different hours where you can join by Zoom. It just so happens that I will be teaching a class at 8:00 PM PT that night - and I welcome members of our congregation to join me. But you may choose any class/classes that interest you throughout the programming. If you would like to join me, it would be great to see you online as we welcome friends from around the country. I invite you to register for the program so you can receive the link where all of the classes will be listed closer to the night of the program.

Elizabeth Mandel will lead our discussion on the book, Tap Dancing on Everest: A Young Doctor's Unlikely Adventure by Dr. Mimi Zieman. Please register to receive the zoom link. Dr. Mimi Zieman was 25 and in her third year of medical school when she made a courageous but unexpected decision: She would join four climbers as they attempted a new route up the rarely traversed East Face of Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world above sea level. The ascent would be without sherpas, guides or supplemental oxygen to deal with the thinning air at extreme altitudes. She would be the only woman and the only medical support on the ascent.The book also explores how her Jewish identity, shaped by a father who survived the Holocaust and an Israeli mother who immigrated to the United States, provided her with the stamina and spirituality to overcome the mental and physical challenges of the Everest expedition.
