Kabbalah Thought for this week

"The knowldege and certitude that only God can protect us from the harsh accusations of the other side are awakened within us. The spiritual truth that we are never victims of other people's wickednes is made clearer in our own mind. Moreover, accountability for our own negative actions is kindled, inspiring us to seek out the Light of The Creator to help redeem us from our internal demons and selfish aspirations."

15 June 2024 / 9 Sivan 5784 פָּרָשַׁת נָשׂא



Shavuot 2024 / שָׁבוּעוֹת 5784

Festival of Weeks ⛰️🌸

Shavuot for Hebrew Year 5784 begins in the Diaspora at sundown on Tuesday, 11 June 2024 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, 13 June 2024.

The festival of Shavuot (or Shavuos, in Ashkenazi usage; Shabhuʿoth in Classical and Mizrahi Hebrew Hebrew: שבועות, lit. “Weeks”) is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (late May or early June). Shavuot commemorates the anniversary of the day G-d gave the Torah to the entire Israelite nation assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text. The holiday is one of the Shalosh Regalim, the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer.
