Come out instead on Monday, June 10 at 7 pm for our Monday Shavuot Party with Israeli Circle and Partner Dancing with Andy. Shavuot is the holiday of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Shavuot is when Moses came down from the mountain with the tablets and said to the people, "I have fifteen command.., uh er, I have ten commandments." You can bring kosher snacks. Beginners welcome. $10 per family
