Chabad to Host Special Holiday Program
in Ballantyne
The newly established Chabad
of Ballantyne is happy to
announce that it will host a special
Shavuot holiday program in the
Ballantyne area. Shavuot is a
momentous time as we commem
orate God’s giving of the Torah at
Mt. Sinai and it is tradition to
gather together and hear the read
ing of the ten commandments
from a Torah Scroll. The heroes of
this holiday are the children for
they were the only guarantors God
would accept to assure that the
Torah would be kept for all future
generations. It .is therefore very
appropriate that all young children
be present for the reading. A spe
cial program, fun activities and an
ice cream party will be -some of
the highlights that the children
will experience. A traditional dairy
meal will be served.
This event will be held on
Monday, June 9 at the Post
Ballantyne Clubhouse, 14205
Ballantyne Lake Rd. beginning at
6 PM to allow families with chil
dren to attend.
The following day Tuesday,
June 10 morning services will be
held at 10 AM. Reading of the
Torah at 11. Yizkor service will be
at 11:30 AM, followed by a light
kiddush lunch.
