Service Times
SHavuot 2023 at South Hampstead
Thursday evening 25th May
Eruv Tavshilin before Shavuot begins and then light Yom Tov candles.
According to Jewish law, although on Yom Tov food may be prepared for the day itself, it may not be for a subsequent day. When Yom Tov occurs on Thursday or Friday, cooking on the festival for Shabbat is permitted if an Eruv has been made before Yom Tov begins. The Eruv consisting of a piece of bread, together with an item of cooked food, represents a symbolic preparation of food for Shabbat prior to the festival. For more information and the Eruv blessing please see page 642 in the green siddur, 654 in the Artscroll or online by clicking here.
