Every year, on the holiday of Shavuot, the Jewish people celebrate the revelation of G-d at Mount Sinai.

This year, we have a few revelations of our own.

Join us Thursday, May 28 for “SHHHHavuot 2009: Revealing Conversations.”  Prominent authors will discuss the topic and tensions of revelation in its most literal sense: discovering (or disclosing) things that have been concealed.
