The Chai Times // Did you get the Torah?
Jun 15, 2024 12:42 am
Incredible Shavuot - the largest 10 Commandment reading we have ever had at YJP! No pictures as it was on the holiday so you can either trust us or come next year to see yourself.
On the day after Shavuot, after receiving the Torah, there is one proof to know if we truly "got" the Torah. If it affects our actions. In the Talmud, the sages argue, about which is more important, Study or Action. And their conclusion is Study - because it leads to and creates Action.
Today, the day after the Giving of the Torah we have the challenge: is the Torah affecting our actions? If it is that means we truly got the Torah.
Wishing you an uplifting Shabbat,
Rabbi Mendy & Mussy
