Annual
F amily
Shavuot
Celebration
The Ballantyne Jewish Center
invites you and your family to join
us to hear the Ten Commandments
read from the Torah and enjoy a
delicious dairy meal in honor of
the holiday of Shavuot. Shavuot is
the time when we commemorate
God’s giving of the Torah at Mt.
Sinai and a time to celebrate the
true heroes of this holiday which
are the children. Before God gave
the Torah He demanded guaran
tors. The Jewish people made a
number of suggestions all rejected
by God until they declared, “Our
children will be our guarantors
that we will cherish and observe
the Torah.” God immediately ac
cepted them and agreed to give the
Torah.
Let us make sure to bring all
our “guarantors” along on the first
day of Shavuot to be present for
the reading of the Ten Command
ments. In addition, there will be a
special program, fun activities and
an ice cream party for them to
enjoy.
