Chabad Jewish Center celebrates Shavuot

BLUE ASH, OH (FOX19) - Wednesday, June 8, commemorates the holiday of Shavuot, the day the Jews received the Ten Commandments (Torah) with the revelation on Mount Sinai.   In celebration, Chabad Jewish Center will be hosting an unsurpassed Shavuot party complete with a 25 foot rock-wall!  Adults will enjoy a scrumptious dairy social while children of all ages can re-enact Moses’ ascent up Mount Sinai to receive the Torah.  The reading of the Ten Commandments and an ice cream bar will cap the festivities.
