What is Shavuot? A Message from JDC Entwine's Rabbi Joshua MikutisAdded:
On Shavuot, we celebrate receiving the Torah. But, another core part of this holiday is about giving.
Because Shavuot was one of three pilgrimage festivals. On Shavuot, Jews would come from all over to Jerusalem to the temple, bringing their first fruits, giving. And I think this dual nature of Shavuot about receiving and giving is core to what it means to be part of a community. That there is always giving and receiving, and that they often happen simultaneously.
So, let's use this Shavuot to recommit to being part of a global Jewish community where we can both give, but also receive.
