THE BIG IDEA

The energy this week carries some of the most powerful, sweet, and transformative of the year. 

The Shabbat before Shavuot is the time to awaken within yourself the spark of consciousness that connects you to the 600,000 root souls that were present at Sinai, imprinted with a concentration of light so powerful it is said their souls flew out of their body and returned with each word. 

So, if you consider yourself a descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a descendant of hebrew slaves liberated with divine might from the oppressive hell in Egypt, purified through 49 days in the desert, and crowned on the 50th day with Torah at Mount Sinai – This Shabbat is the time for you to stand and be counted. 

Open yourself to the majesty of the light we call Torah - the spiritual history book, code of conduct, and mystical energy field that gives all that enter its grace a trusted path to transcend space and time. 

Prepare yourself this Shabbat to receive the cosmic gift of Shavuot… and then on Sunday night when the light of pure unadulterated Torah comes in, bask in it, let it fill each and every one of your cells. Celebrate the mystery that is our enduring life and light as a people — and as you refill and overflow and become whole and restored and recharged, see all the shining lights of this nation glowing with the light that lights lights too.

May we all get out of our small minded consciousness and the pain of separation, and enter the era of growing together and individually with joy.

Shabbat Shalom and HAPPY SHAVUOT!!!
