Shavuot 2021 (a two-day holiday, celebrated from sunset on May 16 until nightfall on May 18) coincides with the date that G‑d gave the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai more than 3,300 years ago. It comes after 49 days of eager counting, as we prepared ourselves for this special day.

It is celebrated by lighting candles, staying up all night to learn Torah, hearing the reading of the Ten Commandments in synagogue, feasting on dairy foods and more.

This year, HunterChabad and the Newcastle Hebrew congregation will be hosting a Torah reading for the ten commandments, an ice-cream party and dairy feast to celebrate and festival meals at the home of the Rodals. More details to follow, but get in touch if you have questions or want to make a reservation!
