"Shavuot" the delivery of the Torah.

"Shavuot is the festival of the reception of the Torah"

Shavuot is not simply a commemoration of the Divine revelation at Mount Sinai, it is the promulgation of the Ten Commandments and the transmission of the Written Law and the Oral Law through our Moshe Rabbenu (Our teacher Moses).

Shavuot is the very moment of the transmission of the Torah, which means that this date exerts on us every year a powerful spiritual influence conducive to the integration of the Torah within us, and the adaptation of our lives to its truth.

Every year on Shavuot we receive the Torah anew, but it depends on our preparation to receive this spiritual treasure that the Creator gave us to provide us with eternal good.

Shavuot is also the Feast of Firstfruits, as on that day an offering of two loaves made from the firstfruits of the new harvest was brought to the Temple. The Torah calls it the new offering, symbolizing the spiritual renewal that takes place within us as we receive the Torah anew.

(Shulchan Aruch, Yosef Caro)

We wish you a Happy Shavuot!
