Tonight, we celebrate the ‘giving of Torah’ with the holiday of Shavuot!
Theologically, this evening is considered a ‘thin’ place in time, where the barriers between the Divine and the earthly realm are most porous.
Our Kabbalists believed that we could most easily connect to God through active study of Jewish religious texts on Shavuot.
Study, in Judaism, is considered spiritually on par with prayer, and on Shavuot the tradition (from the Zohar) is to joyously engage with one another all through the night.
