Editor's Note:

Dear readers,
When the Jewish people left Egypt, they were a group of divided, and sometimes bickering, individuals. In seven short weeks of intense preparation, they managed to become a cohesive unit, an undivided nation. When writing of the Jews' arrival at Mount Sinai, the Torah uses the singular verb, "and he camped," as opposed to the expected "and they camped" (Exodus 19:2). So united were they at that time that they were considered one person, a comprehensive whole.
During the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot, we attempt to mirror this growth and transformation. Part of this is achived when we recognize and appreciate the differences in others, when we overlook each other's weaknesses and embrace our strengths and similarities, when the unison is greater than the divide.

Let's try to recreate that experience this Shavuot. Imagine the unity enveloping the Jewish nation at Mount Sinai, and try to replicate that in your own personal life.
And take your family—including children, and even infants—to the synagogue and listen to the Ten Commandments being read.
Happy Shavuot.

Business had not been good, and Matzliach simply had no money, not only for his usual feast, but not even for the needs of his own family in the way of food and wine for the festival.

Whenever our sages want to point to a shining example of Jewish womanhood, of self-sacrificing devotion to the higher things in life, of loyalty and modesty and excellence of character, they speak of Ruth.

Ask any child what we celebrate on Shavuot, and the obvious answer is the giving of the Torah at Sinai; yet the Torah makes no mention of it. How do we make sense of this glaring omission?

Four camps, 12 tribes, 273 surplus firstborn, 22,300 Levites, 603,550 Israelites—each of whom count. Plus how to take apart G‑d’s home, transport it across the desert and put it back together again.
