Shavuot Live: Shalom Center Session 1
Despite widespread popular opposition to the plan, the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Police Foundation are attempting to raze the city’s largest forest in order to build the largest militarized police training center in the country. Hear from three clergy — two on the ground in Atlanta — who have been active in the #StopCopCity movement, as they unpack the theological roots and religious convictions of their own participation in the movement to protect Atlanta's Weelaunee Forest. With Rabbis Nate DeGroot & Michael Rothbaum & Rev. Keyanna Jones.

Shavuot is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the revelation of Torah at Mt. Sinai. It’s a mystical, time-bending event at which — Jewish tradition tells us — all of us were present. Well, thanks to our friends at Judaism Unbound, anyone anywhere on the planet with internet access can be present for the fully digital Shavuot Live 2023!
One of the holiday’s traditions has been staying up all night, learning in community with others. ShavuotLIVE takes it a step further, by offering a marathon of 24 straight hours of learning, for FREE. Over the course of its first two years, ShavuotLIVE has reached over 1,000 participants, all around the world.
