Exceptionally Moses!: The Talmud on the giving of the Torah (Part 1) In this Talmud class we’re onto a Shavuot track with teachings from Tractate Shabbat (87a) that narrate the events preceding the revelation at Sinai, and records a dispute over the exact date of this historic day. The cause for this difference of opinion was the divergent opinions regarding the lunar cycle, but as a result, Moses emerges as a unique prophet who was able to figure out the will of G-d on his own.
