This Shavuos addition contains quotes about each of the Aseres Hadibros and related discussion questions to trigger discussion.
In a Zoom meeting (ideal if there are ten or fewer participants), each participant should take a turn to read a text and then have the first opportunity to share his or her thoughts on the follow-up question. Then allow some of the other participants to share their thoughts on the same question before continuing to the next text quote.
