Shavuos: A Journey Inward or Beyond?
Episode description
We spend weeks leading up to Shavuot refining our characters. And then we receive G-d's Torah, which asks us to faithfully reflect the light of the Divine in this world.
Does the Torah mark a path to self development or self transcendence? What might it look like to be both surrendered and distinctly who we are?
