Does What Happened on Mount Sinai Matter?

Join Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, President & Dean of Valley Beit Midrash, for an evening of learning on the holiday of Shavuot! Since Shavuot traditionally commemorates the revelation on Mount Sinai, Rabbi Shmuly will explore philosophical and theological approaches to the tension between revelation vs. reason. If we have reason and conscience, do we even have a need for revelation? If there was a revelation, why did it happen outside of Israel? Can we experience revelation, prophecy, and miracles today? Where should we look to have a moral guide to navigate the greatest ethical challenges in our day?
