It’s different this year. Very different. The Torah was given in the Desert. Millions of us were there. Every year after that, we gathered, to relive that moment. In the desert Sanctuary, in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, in Shuls, and in Jewish schools. This Friday and Shabbat, the same spiritual energy will be here. We’ll receive the Torah again. But this time it will be at home. Here's a "silver lining" to a solitary Shavuot: The Ten Commandments are written in singular form. Because although there were millions of people present, each one felt that G-d is speaking to them alone! It was a one-on-one personal type of connection, between each individual Jew and G-d! Celebrating this event alone at home provides perhaps the setting to try and capture the "individuality" of the event; G-d will surely be right there in your home offering you His Torah anew. One on one. Just you and your G-d! Now, that's a sweet thought. From our family to yours, we wish you a happy, healthy and meaningful Shavuot holiday. May we merit to receive the Torah with joy and inner personal meaning.
