Special Traditions for Shavuot

Torah and Treats
Seven weeks after Passover, Shavuot celebrates receiving the Ten Commandments and the Torah at Mt. Sinai. The holiday is made for kids - great for sleepovers, flower picking, ice cream and cheesecake, and other fun activities.

Ruth and Naomi
We read the Book of Ruth on Shavuot, and the themes of kindness and selflessness coincide with the giving of the Torah.

Best Summer Ever

Stories for Overnight Campers
Summer's here, and that means summer camp! We have camp-themed reading lists with picture books and middle-grade titles, and a Mad Libs-style game to make up a silly packing list.

Beat the Heat
Check out these summer reading tips so the stories don't stop, and easy outdoor activities to keep everyone busy.
