A leading Torah voice in the Modern Orthodox community\, Rabbi Linzer serves as religious mentor to YCT’s students and its over 200 rabbis in the United States and Israel. He has written for The Forward\, Tablet and The New York Times\, has published hundreds of teshuvot (responsa) and scholarly Torah articles\, and hosted a number of highly popular Torah podcasts. He is most recently the author\, together with Abigail Pogrebin\, of “It Takes Two to Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRaffi Levi \n\n\n\nRaffi Levi (he/him) is a chazzan\, activist\, nature enthusiast\, and is in his final year of semikha at YCT. Throughout rabbinical school\, Raffi has interned with synagogues and campus Hillels\, participated in social justice fellowships for clergy\, led backpacking trips for Jewish teens and adults\, and worked as a chaplain\, mashgiach\, and culinary arts educator. Raffi currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife\, Daphne. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRabbanit Devorah Zlochower  \n\n\n\nRabbanit Devorah Zlochower serves as YCT’s Senior Scholar in her public-facing role as well as Mashgichah Ruchanit (Spiritual Guide) and teacher of Talmud and Halakha to the rabbinical students within the yeshiva. Prior to taking on her current role at YCT\, Devorah served at different times as Dean\, Rosh Yeshiva and Rosh Kollel at Yeshivat Maharat. In her decades of teaching and leadership\, Devorah has mentored hundreds of students who continue to turn to her for personal and religious guidance. Devorah has written and served on dozens of panels on religious feminism and her most passionate advocacy work focuses on full membership of people with disabilities in all our communal institutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEliana Light  \n\n\n\nEliana is a musician\, prayer leader\, and educator with 10+ years of experience making the urgent spiritual wisdom of t’fillah accessible and meaningful for all ages. Since graduating from JTS with a masters in experiential education\, she has song-led in synagogues\, started minyanim\, taught at conferences and graduate schools\, written curricula\, toured as an artist-in-residence\, founded the Light Lab-a center for t’fillah education\, hosted the Light Lab podcast\, and put out four albums of original Jewish music! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRabbi Yosef Goldman \n\n\n\nRabbi Yosef Goldman is a renowned composer\, vocalist\, educator\, ritual artist and prayer leader who bridges ancient Jewish traditions with contemporary spiritual creativity. His original music is sung in communities\, synagogues\, and camps across the U.S. and Israel. He teaches and leads prayer in spiritually vibrant communities across every movement in Jewish life. He is cofounder of Kedmah\, an ensemble celebrating the sacred music of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRabbi Pesach Stadlin \n\n\n\nPesach Stadlin is a passionate and talented rabbi\, group leader\, song leader\, wilderness guide\, experiential educator\, musician\, spirit guide\, tree-sitter\, author\, certified permaculture designer\, artist and community builder for the Jewish people and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nClasses\n\n\n\nRabbi Dov Linzer \n\n\n \n \n \n “You shall have no other gods before Me” – The Temptation of Idolatry\, then and now \n \n \n\n \n The Torah is filled with admonitions against idolatry\, but what was it about idolatry that exerted such a powerful draw\, that made it such a temptation? We will explore this question through Biblical and Talmudic passages\, as well as thinkers like Maimonides and Rav Kook\, and ask whether our worship today has become too disembodied and abstract\, or not enough so?  \n \n \n\n \n \n The Status of Christianity and Islam in Halakha \n \n \n\n \n What is the halakhic definition of avoda zara  (foreign worship) and how has it been applied to Christianity and Islam?  What is the proper balance between rejection of another religion’s problematic beliefs and practices on the one hand\, and a stance of accommodation\, tolerance\, and perhaps even pluralism on the other hand?  We will explore this question through seeing how halakha has evolved in its approach over time and its relevance to the pluralistic society in which we live today.  \n \n \n\n \n \n Prayer from the Heart or Praying from the Siddur \n \n \n\n \n Prayer is referred to by rabbis as “service of the heart\,” that is\, deeply felt\, personal prayer. But how much of this realized in the context of fixed\, statutory prayer? Does prayer from the siddur enable a true prayer from the heart\, or is it an obstacle to its realization? Or\, do these two modes serve different\, equally valid\, religious ends? In this class\, we will see how rabbis have long grappled with these questions\, and explore the different answers that they offer.  \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nRabbanit Devorah Zlochower \n\n\n \n \n \n Unlikely Leaders: Hillel and Devorah the Prophet \n \n \n\n \n Hillel\, one of our most well-known rabbis\, and the prophet\, Devorah\, were unconventional choices as leaders. Hillel\, who became the religious and political leader of the Jewish community centered in Israel\, was a foreigner and Deborah was a woman. We will examine the relevant passages in the Talmud and the book of Judges that describes their leadership as well as a critique the Talmud makes of them.  \n \n \n\n \n \n From Enemies to Friends: Torah\, A Complicated Love Story \n \n \n\n \n Tractate Kiddushin 30b depicts Torah study as a battle; the havruta as two combatants. In my life as a student and teacher of Talmud\, this description goes beyond how I study and describes my battle with the text itself. For many of us\, studying a sacred\, ancient text carries a range of reactions. We will use this metaphor from the Talmud to discuss the complicated interaction between the modern student and ancient texts.    \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\nRaffi Levi \n\n\n \n \n \n Rabbi\, Are You High? A Psychonautic-Midrashic Approach to Matan Torah & Shavuos \n \n \n\n \n Explore the teachings surrounding the multi-sensorial\, synesthesiac experience of Matan Torah and their relationship to the world of psychedelics. What does it look like to integrate these powerful moments into our lives? How can we look at Matan Torah in a way that highlights its psychological and phenomenological implications? What insights into Matan Torah might we gain from psychedelic research? Did the rabbis ever “get high” – and how does that inform their approach?  \n \n \n\n \n \n Sefat Emet on Shavuot: Meeting G!d Face to Face \n \n \n\n \n How did humanity have the capacity to encounter the Holy One at Har Sinai? What does it mean to interact with God through the process of revelation? Explore the approach of the Sefat Emet in conversation with teachings from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel on the meaning and purpose of revelation.  \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Details About Isabella FreedmanFor more information about accommodations\, dining\, transportation\, and campus amenities\, please visit our Guest Information and FAQ page.
