Chabad of Nashville
Celebrate the 3334th birthday of the Ten Commandments
Have you ever been to a 3334th birthday celebration? Chabad of Nashville invites the Nashville Jewish community to celebrate the 3334 birthday of the Jewish nation on Shavuot 2022.
The Holiday of Shavuot celebrating the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai 3334 years ago, has become a celebration of fine dairy cuisine as well. Exquisite cheesecakes, pesto pastas, lasagna, soufflés and of course cheese blintzes all take center stage during this ancient celebration. Some suggest that this has contributed to the renewed popularity this holiday has seen.
On Shavuot, in the year 2448, the Jewish nation gathered at the foot of Mount Sinai to receive the Torah from G-d, men women and children. Also present were the souls of all Jews of all generations to come. Every year on the Holiday of Shavuot this revelation is re-experienced during the reading of the Ten Commandments in the Synagogue. “It is a de ja vu experience for the soul, to hear the reading of the Ten Commandments, on the anniversary that it was given to our ancestors at Mt. Sinai, said Rabbi Yitzchok Tiechtel, of Chabad of Nashville.”
It is of great importance for every family to attended Synagogue on Shavuot together with their children, to listen to the reading of the Ten Commandments, as the children played a critical role in our receiving the Torah. When G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish people, He gave it on the condition that the young boys and girls will be the guarantors.
Shavuot will be celebrated this year, from the evening of June 4 through June 6. The Ten Commandments will be read at Chabad of Nashville, at 95 Bellevue Road, on Sunday, June 5, at 5:30 PM
Following the reading of the Ten Commandments, a delicious dairy buffet dinner will be served, including blintzes, pastas, pizzas, and a special Ten Commandments Ice Cream Party. All are welcome to come and celebrate as a community, and there is no charge to attend. For more information about Shavuot at Chabad please visit www.chabadnashville.com or call 615-646-5750.
Yizkor Memorial Service on Shavuot
The Yizkor memorial prayer for the dearly departed, is recited in the synagogue four times a year: On the last day of Passover, on the second day of Shavuot, Yom Kippur and on Shmini Atzeret. Congregation Beit Tefilah Chabad will hold the Shavuot Yizkor Memorial Sevice, on Monday, June 6, at 11:15 AM in the Doochin Sanctuary at the Genesis Campus for Jewish Life.
Yizkor, in Hebrew, means "remember." In this prayer, we implore Gd to remember the souls of our loved ones who have passed on. When we recite Yizkor, we renew and strengthen the connection between us and our loves ones, bringing merit to the departed souls.
The recitation of Yizkor is also linked with the mitzvah of a pledge to charity (prior or following the holiday) in memory of the deceased. By giving charity, we are performing a positive physical deed on their behalf in this world, something that the departed can no longer do. The soul gains additional merit through the good deeds impacted through their memory.
YIZKOR is observed in three ways:
1) Light a Yahrtzeit (24-hour) candle in memory of your relatives who have passed away. Candles are available at Chabad if you need.
2) Give charity in memory of the person(s). How much should you give? As a general rule, think of an amount that you are comfortable giving, and then add $18. (In Jewish tradition, the number 18 symbolizes life.)
3) Remember your loved ones by mentioning their name(s) at the YIZKOR service.
If, for whatever reason, you cannot attend the Yizkor Memorial Service, you may e-mail the names of your loved ones to rabbi@chabadnashville.com and Chabad will mention the names on your behalf.
