Sandra Bernhard, the comedian and author, will be the featured guest at Dawn 2010, the Tablet-sponsored late-night cultural arts festival going down in honor of Shavuot tomorrow evening in San Francisco.

Bernhard took the time to talk Shavuot with Senior Editor Sara Ivry about her engagement with Shavuot. She’s a longtime fan!

Here she reminisces on her favorite Shavuot ever: In Tel Aviv.

And here she explains how Shavuot is somewhat misunderstood in the United States.
