Shoresh Holiday Inspiration Series - Shavuos

Join the "Rugby Rabbi" in an exploration of the age-old custom of staying up the night of Shavuos.

Rabbi Zev Kahn is better known as the "Rugby Rabbi" from his days as an Israel Maccabi Games Gold Medalist in 1985 and 1989. Originally from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Rabbi Kahn spent six years at Ohr Somayach yeshiva in Jerusalem, where he received his rabbinic ordination. Rabbi Kahn and his wife, Hilary, originally from LA, moved to Chicago in 1998 to work for the Chicago Community Kollel. In 2005 Rabbi Kahn founded JET, Jewish Education Team, an independent outreach organization that provides Jewish educational programs at University of Illinois - Urbana/ Champaign and other campuses in Illinois. JET also runs programs for young professionals and adults.
