A message from Rabbi Berlin (continued):

Additionally, our Shavuos night would not have been the same without the ruach and depth brought to the program by the yeshiva bochrim who visited for the Chag. A big yasher koach to them for learning with us and the teens throughout Shavuos night and for adding to our davening. We hope to see them back soon. Thank you as well to their hosts, the Sklover and Kohn families.

Thank you to my wife, Sara, for hosting people in our home and preparing all the meals for the Torah Tours guests. Thank you to the Grill family for hosting the Lawee family, and to the Mizrahi family for hosting our rabbinic intern, Rabbi Helfgot.

But Shavuos is not a one-night event. The Goldmeers ran a jam-packed Shavuos program. From cheesecake tasting to edible art projects of flowers and Har Sinai, it was a great success!

On the second day of Shavuos, our gala milchig kiddush had a great spread thanks to our sponsors: David Schwartz, the Berkowitz family, Fruchter family, Gurevich family, Maza family, and Siegel family. A special shout-out to our corporate sponsor, Natural & Kosher Cheese, for providing all the cheese for the kiddush.

We are grateful to the Sklover family for hosting the ladies’ shiur on Shavuos, as they do every Shabbos, graciously opening their home for the sake of Torah and community. Thank you to Michal Huttler for giving the shiur this past Shabbos.

Thank you again to all those who taught, hosted, and sponsored. Each one of these roles was crucial to the success of our Shavuos and helped elevate the Chag. Thank you to all those who participated in the events and learning opportunities. Our community becomes that much greater and closer when we all come together to share in our Torah learning and our simchas hachag.

Thank you to everyone who made this Shavuos so special. From the learning and youth events to the meals, flowers, and strong sense of community it was truly an unforgettable chag and I feel so blessed to be part of such a beautiful community.

A message from Rabbi Berlin:

Shavuos at the BACH was a great success, and it was truly amazing and inspiring to see congregants of all ages enjoying and engaging in the learning and programming. These programs and events do not happen in a vacuum. There are so many people who stepped in and stepped up to make this Yom Tov what it was, and proper recognition and thanks are owed to them for the success of Shavuos 2026 at the BACH. My only hesitation in mentioning them all is that I may forget someone, so if I do, please accept my apologies.

We thank the Strassman family for sponsoring the beautiful flowers in the Shul in honor of their grandson’s Bar Mitzvah.

Thank you to Aaron Kattan for setting up the flowers in the Shul.

While the flowers got us all into the Shavuos mindset over the Chag, the wonderful programming helped prepare us for the holiday as well. Thank you to Rebecca Lazar for helping arrange the Pre-Shavuos shiur and cheesecake tasting last Sunday.

Thank you to our talented youth directors, Ezra and Riki Goldmeer, for getting our children into the Shavuos mood with the pre-Shavuos (and Mother’s Day) flower-planting youth event.

Of course, Shavuos programming would not be complete without learning opportunities and speakers, and we could not have asked for a better lineup to deliver. Thank you to Rabbi Hiller, Rabbi Lawee, and Rabbi Helfgot for the wonderful shiurim they gave on Shavuos night. Thank you to Rabbi Helfgot for speaking between Mincha and Maariv on Shavuos night and Shalishudis, and to Rabbi Hiller for his crystal-clear Daf Yomi shiurim throughout the Chag and every day. A big thank you to Sholom Urra for helping me run the all-night teen learning. Together, we went through many mishnayos of Yoma.

While our speakers enlightened us and gave us “food for the soul,” we all owe our success in learning that night to the Gurevich family, who graciously sponsored all the food for Tikkun Leil Shavuos to give us the energy we needed. Thank you to my wife, Sara, for arranging the coffee station for Shavuos night.
