A volume of Talmud sits open on a table. A learner can be seen sitting next to it. There is a rainbow alef-bet tool placed across the pages.

Shabbat 88a

This sugya explores a mysterious moment of revelation: what really happened at Mount Sinai? Witness the Rabbis radically reread this mythic moment and rebalance the relationships between G!d, Torah, and ourselves. In this sugya, you’ll encounter two witty kra proofs and a sprinkling of Aramaic. We broke this down into three chevruta sessions, but (as always!) y’all are encouraged to learn at the pace that feels best to you.
