Tonight marks the start of Shavuot, and YCT is drinking coffee, eating cheesecake, and sharing essential learning resources with our community to help you celebrate. Shavuot is a holiday that invites critical thinking. In our YCT Shavuot Torah reader, Rabbi Chuck Davidson examines Israel’s conversion practices, posing tough questions and proposing thoughtful solutions to the complex halakhic and civil challenges they present. The full article is available on our website—link in bio:
