JFS LL&L Shavuot – More Than Just Cheesecake!
Tickets
May 13 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Register in advance for this meeting:

https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcsd-uurzIrHdST78kcKFjFj1fZQlrXpZrJ

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Join Rabbi Aron Rubin as he discusses Shavuot –  a festival that is shrouded in mystery. Little is mentioned about it explicitly in the Torah, yet the Rabbis understood it to be the anniversary of one of the most important events in Jewish history. Join Rabbi Rubin as we explore the significance of this festival and some important themes that are at the core of what it means to be a Jew.

Rabbi Rubin is passionate about teaching Torah and communal involvement. He also has an interest in cooking and baking, jogging, and indoor gardening.

In August 2019, Rabbi Rubin and his family moved to Kansas City, from Washington Heights, New York. Rabbi Rubin runs KansasCity Kollel and teaches at the Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy.​
