There is no way in the world to do justice To All the portions we read this Holy Weekend.

BUT - In a few words - let me remember to you the Shavuos of my youth.

A bunch of us kids and teenagers would always stay up and study Talmud all night.

But at Midnight we would go out and see the sky open -

as it did for the Jewish People when the 10 Commandments were given.

What did the Israelites see - and what did we kids see - and what will YOU see?

Was the Almighty visible sitting on his throne (as it were)? Will we see that again?

Rabbi Yaskil uses the Rebbe Nachman approach to explain:

FIRE came out from the throne, to CLEANSE THE WORLD,

but the ALMIGHTY sat ABOVE it all and

sent messages of Mercy and Kindness - that we all need to learn from.

What do we need to see? THE STRENGTH OF SINAI AS TRANSMITTED TO ISRAEL

AND

MAYBE the mercy and kindness of G-d so we can learn from it!

Maybe see G-d's glory and gifts of life - instead of complaining that life is NOT PERFECT

So we won't give excuses for not doing mitzvot - like

"That happened to him, so I don't need to like G d".

Love G-d and one another this Shavuote

Look out for all the signs of the Almighty,

Study and receive the Torah this Saturday night thru Sunday AM!

Shabbat Shalom
