Chabad Jewish Center of Tamarac will mark the Jewish holiday of Shavuot this Friday with a free community celebration featuring a public reading of the Ten Commandments and an ice cream party for children.
Rabbi Kopel Silberberg and co-Director Goldy Silberberg are hosting two readings of the Ten Commandments on May 22 — at 11:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. — each followed by a dairy holiday buffet with cheesecake, cheese blintzes, and ice cream.
The evening session will also include a children’s Ice Cream Garden Party from 5 to 6 p.m., with crafts, games, giveaways, and make-your-own ice cream activities.
The center’s address in Tamarac is 8100 N. University Dr.
Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Jewish tradition holds that every man, woman, and child should hear the Ten Commandments read on the holiday, recalling the moment the entire Jewish nation stood together at Sinai.
“Every year, when we hear the Ten Commandments read again, it’s not just remembering history,” Rabbi Silberberg said. “It’s reconnecting to the values and purpose that have guided the Jewish people for thousands of years.”
Goldy Silberberg said the children’s programming is meant to make the holiday feel joyful and tangible.
“We want children to feel that Judaism is alive, joyful, and meaningful,” she said. “The Ice Cream Garden Party is a fun way for kids to connect to the holiday while creating beautiful memories with their families.”
The event is free and open to the community. RSVPs are requested at JewishTamarac.com/Shavuot.
