The Ten Commandments will be revealed once again at Hollywood Temple Beth El at its Leyl Tikun, an Evening of Cosmic Repair, for the Second Night of Shavuot, on Sunday , May 24, at 7:00 PM.
The Sapper Hall will be the Sinai Desert and the center of the hall will become Mt. Sinai as a Torah scroll will be opened for all the congregants and rolled from the Beginning ( Bereshit) to the end of the Torah. Participants will see the Creation, the Binding of Isaac, the Exodus and the Ten Commandments, the Priestly Benediction and the Shma move under their gaze.
It will be preceded by a brief service to usher in the Second Night of the Shavuot Festival . Sweet dairy deserts , will be served in honor of long-standing Shavuot tradition to commemorate that the Torah is as sweet as milk and honey.
Leyl Tikun is an old Kabbalistic term for mystical meditations and studies that were believed to engage the worshipper in an act of healing the Universe. It has been reinterpreted in modern parlance to mean repairing our world by practical actions that can lead to social healing and well-being.
