Join us for an in-person Tikkun Leil Shavuot with learning, dinner, singing, dessert, and more! Details and registration to come.

What is a Tikkun Leil Shavuot?

A Tikkun Leyl Shavuot is the tradition of staying up all night (or in the case of TBB, later than usual) learning in anticipation of receiving the Torah on the morning of Shavuot. According to a midrash, the Israelites slept late on the morning when the Ten Commandments were given, instead of waking up early in anticipation, and now we stay up studying to be sure not to repeat that mistake.

June 17, 2025: Important Accessibility Update
Our elevator is off pending necessary repairs and will be out of service until later in the summer.
By July 1, all in-person events and services will be on the bottom floor or in the shul tent, thus requiring no stairs.

We cannot meet all accessibility needs at this time.
Please reach out to Rebecca in the office at tbb@templebnaibrith.org or 617-625-0333 if we may be able to support your attendance.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
