Dear Friend,
It’s hard to believe that seven weeks have passed since we sat down
to the Passover Seder, physically distant but spiritually close.
And now, this Thursday night
(May 28)—ending Saturday night—will be the
3,332nd anniversary of the day when Heaven kissed Earth as G‑d transmitted the
10 Commandments upon
Mount Sinai.
It’s called the Festival of Shavuot.
Some of us will be fortunate enough to attend services on Shavuot;
others will remain at home.
Wherever you will be, you deserve the ultimate Shavuot experience.
That’s why we’ve assembled:
Basically, all you need to make your home into a Mount Sinai.
You provide the thunder.
From our homes to yours,
A Joyous and Meaningful Shavuot from your friends at Chabad.org

Unlike the
Written Torah,
when studying the
Oral Torah, a
person has not
fulfilled his
obligation of
Torah study
unless he
understands what
is being learnt.
Nevertheless,
exceptions are
made for those
that aren’t
capable of
understanding for
reasons beyond
their control.

“When I was a
young man of
twenty,” the Baal
Shem Tov began
his story,
“shortly after
being accepted in
the society of
hidden
tzaddikim,
several of us
came to the city
of Brody . . .”
