Shavu'ot


Three thousand, three hundred and sixteen years ago, the infinite G-d burst through the barrier of human finitude and in the presence of an entire nation revealed His Commandments.

Shavu'ot commemorates the world-shaking event of the Divine revelation at Sinai. It is a day to reaffirm our commitment to studying and implementing the Torah.

If we abuse our freedom and attach ourselves to things of an exclusively physical, temporary nature, we lose the freedom needed to achieve the very purpose for which we were placed here: to become closer to G-d by being more like G-d.

I'll be gone until late Saturday, click the pic for info on Shavu'ot.

A wonderful tribute to this overlooked holiday from the non-Jewish population.
