Shavuot marks the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. The Ten Commandments are read in synagogues, just as they were in the desert on Mt. Sinai over 3,300 years ago.

Dear Friends,

We are about to celebrate the 3,338th anniversary of the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. With each passing year the Torah is given to us anew on an even higher level. May we all receive the Torah joyfully and internalize its teachings.

Please join us this year for a life changing 72 hour celebration. Just as at Sinai every single Jew was present, so too let's make sure this year that no Jew will be left behind. We personally invite every Jewish man, woman, child and even infant on the Upper East Side to join us in hearing the Ten Commandments and proclaiming Na'aseh V'Nishma, we will do and we will listen.

Please share the many Holiday events with your family and friends. Looking forward to celebrating together!

Chag Sameach,

Rabbi Ben Tzion and Chanie Krasnianski and family
