Mount sinai

On Shavuot, we recenter Torah study as our supreme value, even as we divert some of its precious human resources toward protecting our people and defending our land.

Shavuot reminds us that civilization is sustained not only by intelligence but also by covenant, responsibility, and moral restraint.

Few modern terms carry as much weight and controversy as the Hebrew word geula, or “redemption.” Redemption is the terminus of history.
