DAWN is Reboot’s all-night interpretation of the magical and mighty holiday of Shavuot. Gathering digitally, we spend the night immersed in music, comedy, food, learning and conversation – all presented by some of the greatest artists, rabbis and thinkers of our generation.
DAWN is Reboot’s all-night culture and arts festival celebrating the Jewish calendar’s best-kept secret – Shavuot. Our reimagination of this night of studying and arguing is 36 hours of music, film, comedy, dance, food and teaching. Shavuot is the biblical Burning Man, the moment people gathered in the desert, spent the evening in anticipatory celebration for the dawn. At sunrise they would receive the Ten Commandments and, with these tablets, a new perspective on the future.
Though we are beginning to enter a new and different phase of COVID times, many musicians used to being on the road, and many dependent on the road, have been homebound. Knowing this creativity and passion should not stay bottled up, I decided to reach out to some old friends, many of whom would normally never have had the time to embark on a new project. And I wanted to propose something they had never done before – work collaboratively on a pretty massive project while everyone was in quarantine in different cities
