My friend Alicia Jo Rabins, of Girls in Trouble<\/a> fame (but more importantly to me, from “played fiddle at my wedding” fame) was interviewed<\/a> on Tablet about the tradition of the Tikkun Leil Shavuot<\/a>, staying up all night to study Torah on the first night of Shavuot. She likens the practice to the near ecstacy of a sleepover party – young girls giddy from staying up together way past their bedtimes.<\/p>\n

Her interview helped me reframe the Shavuot celebration I am planning. Because their school is closed, and my husband’s public high school is not, I’m swooping the girls off to the Cape for the holiday. I had planned to read Zoe’s “torah” that she will bring home from Gan tomorrow, and make blintzes. But I want this night to be extra special – to really help commemorate the awesomeness of revelation. Although I participated in quite a few all night study sessions before I had children, I actually hadn’t considered intentionally staying up extra late with the girls. But thanks to Alicia, we will be up until at least<\/em> ten. Will it be mystical? I don’t know. But I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
