UP ALL NIGHT Several Jewish organizations put a modern spin on Shavuot, a Jewish holiday that celebrates the receiving of the 10 commandments. Traditionally, Jews stayed up all night in preparation for the holiday. At “Stay the Night: The Alma Tikkun,” Jews and non-Jews alike sacrifice sleep for music, dancing, yoga classes, and discussions on everything from plastic surgery to divine inspiration. Coffee, doughnuts, and cheesecake will be served. Sunday, 10 p.m.-Monday, 5 a.m., 92nd Street Y, 1395 Lexington Ave. at 92nd Street, and the JCC in Manhat tan, 334 Amsterdam Ave. at 76th Street, 212-415-5500, free.
