An Evening of Study Sessions, Food and More
Tikkun Leil Shavuot is about immersing ourselves in the wisdom of Torah as a way of re-enacting the revelation that took place on Mount Sinai. Join us for a full evening of learning, beginning with a delicious community dinner and followed by community-wide learning opportunities taught by guest scholars and community members. This evening is generously sponsored by the Ruth and Ron Silberstein Fund
Keynote Speaker: Rabbi Jason Rubenstein, Executive Director of Harvard Hillel
Beyond all Consolation: A Jewish Philosophy of Redemption and Tragedy
Rabbi Jason Rubenstein joined Harvard Hillel as Executive Director on June 1, 2024 after six years as the Howard M. Holtzman Jewish Chaplain at Yale. Jason’s background is as diverse as Harvard’s Jewish community: a childhood at Temple Micah in Washington DC, formative years studying at Yeshivat Ma’ale Gilboa in northern Israel, and rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary. From 2010-2018, Jason taught on the faculty of the Hadar Institute, where he created classrooms, conversations, and communities that bring Torah into an open-ended dialogue with the fullness of students’ lives.
From his own formative undergraduate years at Harvard Hillel, where he met his wife, Arielle Rubenstein ‘07, Jason knows how Hillel can and should transform students’ lives – and through them, American Jewish life. For a fuller view of Jason’s plan for Harvard Hillel’s future, you can listen to his interview with Yehuda Kurtzer (PhD ‘08); and to glimpse how he lead Yale’s Jewish community through impossibly difficult months following October 7, you can read his October 26, 2023 letter to the Yale Jewish community.
