IJV Online Chavurah – Shavuot Session
May 13, 2021 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm EDT
Fifty, or 7 X 7 + 1, is a magic Jewish number, found not only in the counting of the Omer but also in the Jubilee cycle.
There is an ancient Jewish book, the Book of Jubilees, that is devoted to charting the creation and development of the world according to the Jubilee cycles.
What is the magic of these cycles, and why does Jewish tradition understand the world to achieve radical freedom and radical equality with the arrival of the fiftieth?
Come to explore these and other questions at IJV Online Chavurah’s Shavuot Session on Thursday, May 13th at 7:30pm ET in honour of Shavuot!
Everyone is welcome!

About IJV’s Online Chavurah
IJV’s Online Chavurah is a non-Zionist space where we can build connections with like-minded people. All viewpoints are valuable, and we encourage participants to share their own unique thoughts and experiences. This is not a group meant to debate differences in opinion but to share and support each other’s learning.
IJV’s Online Chavurah does not presuppose any theology nor any particular knowledge about anything other than one’s own life. It uses a group format to explore Jewish text, liturgy and theology, providing time for participants to discover new meaning in old writings.
