At this moment of great moral reckoning, we are speaking out with one voice to fulfill the most sacred obligation in Jewish tradition – pikuach nefesh, saving a life

Shavuot 5785/2025

As we continue to organize in the face of unfathomable starvation and bombing in Gaza, this Shavuot, we will deepen our commitment to “Revealing Liberation: The Torah of Solidarity.”

Shavuot 5785, join Rabbis for Ceasefire, The American Council for Judaism, and partner organizations for our second annual Global Tikkun Leyl, an all-day virtual teach-in.  Through our 26 hours of learning together, we will demonstrate the global Jewish solidarity with Palestine, deepen relationships across continents, and develop shared analyses, songs, interpretations of texts, and beyond to illuminate our path to liberation. 

Jewish tradition offers that staying up all night to learn on Shavuot is a form of sacred repair, making up for times when we failed to rise to the occasion. This is the “tikkun” in Tikkun Leil Shavuot – a call to meet the moment and repair the world.

The program begins on June 1 at 6:00 PM Jerusalem/4:00 PM London/11:00 AM NYC time and ends on June 2 at 8:00 PM Jerusalem/6:00 PM London/1:00 PM NYC time. No prior Torah study experience required – all are welcome! Wherever you are in the world, we hope you’ll join us!

We are excited to study, teach, and learn with you!
