A Shavuot Special: Learning with Rabba Yaffa Epstein, Season 3, Episode 30

Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education

Your Shavuot is about to be elevated by this special episode of Adapting, where you will experience the profound wisdom of Rabba Yaffa Epstein, The Jewish Education Project's Senior Scholar and Educator in Residence.
Rabba Epstein and David Bryfman's discussion, brimming with intellectual insights and ideas around the holiday, practically becomes a midrash in the making as they touch on two key components of Shavuot: receiving the Torah and the delivering of the first fruits. Once you hear how Rabba Yaffa explains what these incredible physical and spiritual gifts mean to the Jewish people, you'll feel an overwhelming sensation of gratitude for the holiday and its deep themes.
​​​​​This week in particular, we express gratitude to Jewish educators everywhere who work tirelessly to impart the invaluable gifts of knowledge and learning to their students.
Chag Shavuot Sameach!
