Shavuot Live: Shalom Center Session 2
Why did the great Revelation come on Mt. Sinai? Because Sinai was not in Israelite space, or Canaanite space, or Egyptian space, or anybody else’s. It was for everybody. Which makes us wonder: What would the 10 Utterances be if they were spoken today, coming from a Sinai Revelation in our own era, and indeed were for all Humanity and all Life on Earth? – a world utterly different from Planet Earth 3,000 years ago? What are the spiritual through lines that plague our society today, and what are the spiritual through lines that hold within them our collective redemption as we chart a path forward to the Promised Land?
Rabbi Waskow is founder/director of The Shalom Center, creator of the original Freedom Seder in 1969, author of 28 books including Seasons of Our Joy and Dancing in God's Earthquake, co-founder of ALEPH.

Shavuot is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the revelation of Torah at Mt. Sinai. It’s a mystical, time-bending event at which — Jewish tradition tells us — all of us were present. Well, thanks to our friends at Judaism Unbound, anyone anywhere on the planet with internet access can be present for the fully digital Shavuot Live 2023!
One of the holiday’s traditions has been staying up all night, learning in community with others. ShavuotLIVE takes it a step further, by offering a marathon of 24 straight hours of learning, for FREE. Over the course of its first two years, ShavuotLIVE has reached over 1,000 participants, all around the world.
This year, The Shalom Center’s Rabbis Waskow and DeGroot will each be hosting a session, alongside an incredible slate of presenters. Catch the two Shalom Center sessions, check out a few of the other sessions, too, or shoot for 24 in a row.
