Event Details

Celebrate Shavuot with fun family activities and free ice cream on Tuesday, May 30, 2017.

Shavuot began as an ancient agricultural holiday, coinciding with the beginning of the summer harvest. Since biblical times, it is celebrated as the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai and the harvesting of the fruits.

What to expect:

  • One of the most delicious Shavuot traditions is to eat dairy foods. Remember the promise that Israel is a land flowing with milk and honey. Swing by the pop-up to pick up your free scoop (for first 100 kids), courtesy of Three Twins.
  • Get creative! First Fruit Festivals are often held on kibbutzim, Israeli cooperative farms. These parades include lush displays of fruits, tractors, dancing, and children decked out with flower garlands. To celebrate the agricultural roots of Shavuot, you will be making your own flower crowns.
  • Meet Marin JCC Summer Camp staff and start counting down the days until summer camp. Rediscover the magic of play through art, nature, cultural programs and more.
  • Learn about resources for families in and around Marin from the Kesher family concierge and read some holiday-themed books from PJ Library.
  • Read The Book of Ruth on Shavuot to remind yourselves that the poor were treated with compassion during the harvest season. Learn more about the relevant themes of her story.
  • Spin the rainbow prize wheel for Shavuot and environmentally themed prizes.
