Shavuot 5767/2007: Receiving the Torah of Today May 20, 2007

The holiday of Shavuot celebrates the revelation of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai. Jewish tradition also teaches that each generation receives its own Torah, a process that begins on Passover and culminates at Shavout.

This year, with the need for repairing the world so great, we feel the need to receive Torah all the more urgently. During our five days together we will explore fresh perspectives of the Torah of our ancestors as well as open our minds and hearts to receive our own Torah of today. Through a combination of exercises, lectures, practices and discussion, we will prepare for and experience the Sinai of this moment.
