Shavuot is one of three Jewish pilgrimage festivals, when seekers from across the land would convene at the sacred Temple to encounter each other and the Divine in elaborate ritual and shared abundance. Since the destruction of the Temple, Jewish mystics have spent all Shavuot night immersed in study and practice, seeking to relive the revelation at Mt. Sinai.

Join us for a modern-day reimagining of this ancient pilgrimage – an all-night journey of body, heart, and spirit, as we wander together through uncertain times in search of meaning, connection, and delight.

Our evening will start with provocative and immersive ritual theater designed and led by Rabbi Zvika Krieger, Spiritual Leader of Chochmat HaLev and co-leader of Black Rock City Shabbat at Burning Man, with sacred chanting led by Lauren Arrow.

You can then choose your own adventure: study sessions led by the wisest scholars and mystics from across the Bay, including Tova Birnbaum, Dr. Deena Aranoff, Rabbi Dorothy Richman, Rebecca Schisler, and more; singing, storytelling, and magic all night around the sacred fire with Wilderness Torah led by Rabbi Paige (Lincenberg) Lowenstein, Kohenet Amanda Nube, Sarah Elise Rund, Eli Witkin, Rabbi Elizheva Hurvich, and more; as well as music, art, and embodiment experiences created and led by LABA artists, curated by Elissa Strauss:
