 by our Cantors\n\n8:00pm - 9:00pm Keynote Speaker Dr. Ben Sax of ICJS\n\nD
 r. Sax will explore how Creation relates to the revelation of the ten comm
 andments on Mt. Sinai. To do this we will exam Rabbi Hayyim ibn Attar’s 
 interpretation of Bereishit his mystical Torah commentary - Or-haHayyim. N
 ot only does this commentary explain how Creation and Revelation are relat
 ed\, but also how speech can powerfully combine both: we create as we spea
 k. We will explore how each human utterance can bring us closer to peace a
 nd redemption.\n\n9:00pm - 9:30pm Cheesecake Break! (bring your favorite c
 heesecake to share! Vegan and gluten-free selections also encouraged) \n\
 n9:30pm - 10:00pm Learning Session 1\n\n 	Identity and Sexuality in the Bo
 ok of Ruth with Rabbi Emily Stern (Room 300)\n\nWe are probably familiar w
 ith the famous text\,  “for where you go\, I will go\, where you lodge\
 , I will lodge\; your people shall be my people\, and your God\, my God…
  (Ruth 1:16–17). These vows spoken by Ruth to Naomi are often used in we
 dding ceremonies. Why? Perhaps liturgists have picked up something about t
 he nature of this relationship. We will be examining some assumptions many
  readers make about “The Book of Ruth\,” particularly regarding gender
  and sexuality. Many scholars have looked closely at the text to find over
 t hints to non-heteronormative readings throughout. Rabbi Emily will draw 
 on texts like “Un-straightening Boaz in Ruth Scholarship” by Brett Kru
 tzsch\, and “Boaz Reawakened : Modeling Masculinity in the Book of Ruth
 ” by Hugh S. Pyper to explore gender and sexuality in this canonical tex
 t\, traditionally read on Shavuot.\n\n 	Niggun L'eil Shavuot with Cantor C
 aitlin McLaughlin (Room 100)\n\nWe open our hearts in preparation to recei
 ve Torah with the time honored practice of wordless melody and simple song
 s in the round. Niggunim and communal songs for the moment will be led by 
 Cantor Caitlin of Oseh Shalom synagogue. Come ready to sing!\n\n 	Caskets 
 and Arks [Aronim]: What Can We Learn About Honor and Memory? with David Zi
 nner - lead of CJC’s Chevra Kadisha (Room 400)\n\nWhen we celebrate achi
 evements\, we also remember the mistakes we made along the way and we hono
 r those who came before us. How do we integrate brokenness and loss into o
 ur lives and into our community life? We'll travel from Beresheit to Sinai
  to the present.\n\n10:00pm - 10:15pm Bio Break\n\n10:15pm - 10:45pm Learn
 ing Session 2\n\nKol Midabber - The Voice of Someone Speaking: What is Eze
 kiel Telling us about Revelation in the Haftarah of the First Day of Shavu
 ot? with Rabbi Saul Oresky (Room 300)\n\nWhile Ezekiel’s vision among th
 e exiles at the Chebar Canal in Babylonia might tempt us to say\, “I’l
 l have what he’s having\,” our sages of old saw this as much more than
  a hallucination. What was being revealed to the prophet and why? And what
  does this have to do with our receiving the Torah?\n\nWrapping our Hearts
  Around Cringe-Worthy Torah Stories  with Rabbi Michael Hess Webber (Room
  100)\n\nAre there stories in the Torah that make you go “ooph?” Or pe
 rhaps stories that leave you questioning the sanity of our holy forebears?
  Together we will spend some time exploring a selection of these texts and
  discussing how we can connect to and embrace the wholeness of Torah as we
  also grapple. \n\n10:30pm - 11:00pm We close in song! Thank you Cantors!
 \n\nThe Shavuot practice of staying up well into the evening (and for some
 …all night) to study Torah was practiced by Jewish mystics who believed 
 that\, at midnight\, the heavens would open and favorably receive our thou
 ghts\, study and prayers - on the anniversary of the revelation of Torah a
 t Mt. Sinai.
