Shavuot 2025/5785

See below for information on our Tikkun Leil Shavuot, ways to honor your loved ones through Yizkor, and our annual Blessing of the Babies!

Celebrating the memory of your loved ones with food
Our next Yizkor is Shavuot, Tuesday, June 3, 2025. CBT is offering congregants the opportunity to include dairy or pareve recipes in the day’s kiddush lunch or dessert oneg that are associated with memories of your loved ones.

If your father loved herring, if your mother made the best noodle kugel, we want you to have the opportunity to share those dishes and memories with our congregation.

This opportunity is available all year-round when yizkor is said: The eighth day of Passover, the second day of Shavuot, Yom Kippur, and Shemini Atzeret.

Complete the form below to learn how you can remember your loved one through sponsoring our kitchen team, cooking in our kitchen, or more!

“In loving testimony to their lives I pledge tzedakah to help perpetuate ideals important to them.”

The Yizkor memorial prayer teaches us to honor our loved ones not only through remembrance, but through the act of giving. At Congregation Beth Torah, we invite you to do so in a meaningful and delicious way—by sharing one of their favorite foods.

This year, CBT is offering congregants the opportunity to include special recipes in our Kiddush in memory of loved ones. Whether your father loved herring, your mother baked the best noodle kugel, or your grandparent always had a signature dish, we’d love for you to share those recipes and the memories that come with them. Each dish will be accompanied by a card noting the name of the loved one being remembered.

To participate please complete our Yizkor sponsorship form. We invite all sponsors to also help prepare the dish in our kitchen. Sponsorships start at $36. 

For questions or to get started, please contact: Abby Mindle at (214) 783-5996 or email the kitchen team at kitchen@congregationbethtorah.org
