Celebrate Shavuot
at Chabad North Shore
Shavuot: 11-13 June, 2016

Dear Friend,

Over 3,328 years ago, the children of Israel stood as one nation at the foot of the Mount Sinai and received the Torah from G‑d. Each year on the holiday of Shavuot, this historic event is re-lived as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah.

At Chabad North Shore, we offer many events for your entire family to celebrate with us. Please join us at our annual Ice cream party and Ten commandments reading.

You can find more information about the holiday and our programming below.

Wishing you a happy Shavuot and Chag Sameach.

You are cordially invited to join us for a one-of-a-kind dairy holiday meal in honour of Shavuot!

We will hear a fascinating life-experience by an Iranian Jewish Refugee Dr Kooshyar Karimi, now living in Sydney.

His fascinating story chronicles his early years living as a Jew in Tehran, and his harrowing time spent once captured by Islamic Intelligence in 1998.

He miraculously survived and today, he is not only a practicing doctor in Australia, but also an acclaimed and award-winning translator. In fact, a movie is currently in production featuring his amazing life journey.

10 Commandments

Sunday, June 12th, 11 am @ Chabad!

Come with your entire family to hear the 10 Commandments read from the Torah, as it was read on Mount Sinai!

Our Sages explain that before G‑d gave the Torah to the Jewish People, He demanded guarantors. The people suggested our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; but these were not sufficient. They cited many other great leaders and people but G‑d did not accept them either! Finally, they declared, "Our children will be our guarantors!" G‑d immediately accepted and agreed to give them the Torah.

The Jewish Children were — and still are — the guarantors and transmitters of the Torah. Our commitment to their education has always been the best assurance to the continuity of Torah and Mitzvoth . When G‑d gave the Torah on Mt. Sinai, every Jewish child was present. Let us ensure that our children will be there this year too!
