Shavuot, the anniversary of when our People stood as One, at the foot of Mount Sinai, having been recently liberated from slavery and experiencing Exodus - was the defining moment our People got their / our Mission Statement and Purpose: The Torah.
3336 years ago, a defining moment not only in Jewish History but in world history - the unprecedented revelation at Mount Sinai, which would change reality for all time.
Heaven and Earth cmae together, with the most intense spiritual and G‑dly revelation, yet in the physical realm, to alter matter for the future. Henceforth, the Divine and the material would be compatible and join forces in establishing a home for the Divine in this world.
Join us to mark this moment, not merely to commemorate, but to relive it and absorb its meaning today.
