Ove 250 rabbis attended a pre-Shavuot Torah study session on Wednesday, designed to provide a “spark” of inspiration that they can pass onto their congregants over the holiday.
Organised by the Conference of European Rabbis, the 90-minute shiur was divided into five separate sessions that were moderated by high-profile rabbis including former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.
During each session, broadcast over Zoom, community rabbis discussed the significance of Shavuot with each of the moderators.
Besides Rabbi Sacks, moderators included the Sephardi Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef, Rabbi Osher Weiss, Rabbi David Yosef, and President of the Conference of European Rabbis and Chief Rabbi of Moscow Pinchas Goldschmidt.
