Free Full Night of Learning... Including "I Feel Like a Fool in Synagogue" Workshop
Party All Night on Tuesday, May 22, 2007!
Join hundreds of local folks at the Jewish Community Center of the East Bay for free learning with over 40 rabbis and Jewish teachers. No background is required, and all are welcome. The teachers range from secular to Orthodox, and will address topics of all sorts.

DATE: Tuesday, May 22
TIME: 6:45 PM -- Musical Shavuot Service
Followed by full schedule of learning sessions all night til dawn Wednesday!
Also followed by special program for children.
