Shavuot - Manhattan Beach

Shavuot – the Holiday of the receiving of the Torah. This is the Holiday that Moshe went up on Mt Sinai and got the 10 commandments. To celebrate this holiday we study the whole night, eat dairy foods and listen to the 10 Commandments being read from the Torah scroll.

Neshama – Chabad Lubavitch of Manhattan Beach held an ALL NIGHT study group with Rabbi Winner. “The most interesting part of this night is the Q and A. We all had a chance to challenge the Rabbi, it was amazing”, said Lana a neighbor.

On Friday afternoon there was a special service for men, women and children to hear the 10 Commandment being read from the Torah scroll followed by a dairy Ice Cream party. Many ice cream flavors and topping where served, together with cheese cake and cheese blintzes.

Contrary to the weather channel, thank G-d, the rain held up. It was thus possible to have the planned Friday evening prayer service followed by Shabbat and Shavuot Dinner OUTDOORS in the Rabbi and Shula Winner’s backyard. Hundreds joined for this dinner which went late into the night.

Being that it’s a holiday that one cannot according to Jewish law take any pictures, the only pictures available are the ones that we will forever remember in our minds memory.
