Shavuot 2025

Celebrate Shavuot @ Chabad
Shavuot is not about commemorating an event that occurred exactly 3,337 yrs ago. Rather every year we receive the Torah anew, and it is real cause to celebrate! Chabad of Bethesda has exciting events & services for the entire family! See what we have planned below...
 

15th Annual Midnight Torah Forum
- Sun Night, June 1 at midnight
Participate in the tradition of all-night learning the night prior to receiving the Torah. Join us on Shavuot night for a forum discussion presented by members of the community.
Topic: Great Jewish Women in History
Light refreshments and gourmet coffee will be served.
 

Reading of 10 Commandments
- Monday, June 2nd at 10:00am
The reading of the 10 Commandments is a Biblical mandate for men, women & children! Be There!
Shavuot morning services will begin at 9:00am and the Commandments will be read at 10:00am. This is our heritage, this is our legacy, this is our life!
