Cheesecake and All-Nighters

by Reuvena Leah Grodnitzky – Chabad.org

Children from Chabad of Orange County, N.Y.’s Torah Trooper Preschool Program, along with director Chana Burston and youth director Nechama Jacobs, proudly display their model Mount Sinais they made in preparation for the Jewish holiday of Shavuot.

Ice cream sundaes and cheesecake will take center stage during celebrations of the upcoming two-day Shavuot holiday, which will begin this year on Tuesday evening, June 7. Commemorating the giving of the Torah, which began with the transmission of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai more than 3,300 years ago, Shavuot is traditionally celebrated with dairy feasts, readings of the Decalogue and all-night study sessions.
