Yoel explains the p’shat (simple) meaning of the verses on Shavout (The Feast of Weeks) in this specially recorded private class.

Topics and Questions in this Teaching

Note:  Certain comments in this teaching give the impression I am Karaite.  Let me be clear I am not.  I am simply addressing the p’shat meaning of the words in accordance with my training as a bible scholar.

Loved the “Heat Wave” teaching, we just hand one here in California too. Is it possible the gap is 40 days instead of 50 after Shavuot? A 40 day count lands right on Yom Kippur. Which allows about 3 days of harvest before the start of Sukkot instead of landing 26 days after Sukkot. Just wondering. Sundown May 31 – Sundown September 28, 2020 120 days.
