The Rebbe’s Personal Request for Shavuot:
The Rebbe emphasized many times that at Mount Sinai all Jewish people were present — including, and especially, children, who served as our guarantors. Every year, when the story of the Giving of the Torah is read on Shavuot, we relive the Sinai Revelation. Therefore, it is important that all men, women, and children of all ages participate in the reading of the Ten Commandments.
Followed by a Grand Dairy Kiddush Luncheon and Ice Cream Party for all! Enjoy a delicious dairy Kiddush featuring cheesecakes, blintzes, specialty cheeses, pastas and more.

Recalling the deceased during a synagogue service is not merely a convenient form of emotional release, but an act of solemn piety and an expression of profound respect. The yizkor memorial service was instituted so that the Jew may pay homage to his forbears and recall the good life and traditional goals.

***Eruv Tavshillin***
An Eruv Tavshillin is done on Thursday, May 21. It allows us to make all necessary preparations on Friday, the first day of Shavuot, May 22, for the second day of Shavuot, Friday night and Shabbat (May 23) which follows immediately afterwards. However, unlike a regular Friday afternoon, it is important to make sure that all foods prepared for Shabbat be totally cooked and edible well before Shabbat begins.
The Eruv consists of a matzah or a challah roll, and a cooked food, such as meat, fish, or an unpeeled hard-boiled egg. For details of the procedure and the appropriate Brachah that should be made, consult the siddur (Tehillat Hashem page 327) or see here.
