Dear Friends,

This evening the holiday of Shavuot begins. Shavuot is the season of "the giving of our Torah".

This year commentates 3,332 years since the revelation and Sinai and the giving of the Torah.

Our sages teach us that the giving and receiving of the Torah takes place again spiritually every year. 

If you are able to attend our synagogue services please be sure to register as required by law, and we look forward to seeing you. If you feel it is wiser in your situation to remain at home please be sure to read the 10 commandants at home. You can also take a few moments and read some interesting Shavuot features from our site .

The Torah was given in the desert, a place where there is no ownership, to remin d every Jew of their equal access to the Torah. 

The desert is a place which is "unplanted", this reminds us that in order to truly study Torah, the word of Hashem, we must have a humble approach, like a barren land waiting to be planted. 

If we study Torah while we are blossoming with our own prior knowledge, we may study the Torah with a subjective approach and not be proper vessels for the word of Hahshem. 

Chag Sameach, Gut Yomtov and Shabbat Shalom!


Rabbi Chaim & Rivky


PS. do you know someone who needs special care? a challah for shabbos? someone who cant' go shopping? Just let us know, we are happy to help.
