How the Sages Transformed Shavuot

Hosted By: London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS)

The London School of Jewish Studies presents a class exploring why the Torah describes Shavuot as an agricultural festival, with no explicit mention of the giving of the Torah at Sinai. The session examines this striking omission and contrasts it with the detailed biblical command to remember the Exodus on Passover. Participants will learn how the Sages transformed Shavuot into the Time of the Giving of the Torah and how that shift helped shape Judaism as it is practiced today.
