Shavuos

Each year, as the festival of Shavuos approaches, a number of questions that are relevant the entire year-round take on a timely significance:· What is Torah, exactly — and what specific role does Torah study play?· What does the Revelation at Sinai have to do with me in my day-to-day living?· How was the Torah given, and why does it matter?· How do the laws and customs of Shavuos reflect our receiving the Torah?· How does counting the Omer prepare us for any of this?Drawing on a wide array of sources from throughout the generations, renowned teacher and author Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein discusses these and many more fundamental questions, providing the reader with a deeper understanding of Torah, Shavuos and ultimately, Judaism itself.

I was totally mesmerized by this outstanding, extraordinary original and creative analysis of the role the Shalosh Regalim play in representing the most fundamental elements of Jewish faith. In this work, which is organized, compelling, and full of deep wisdom, Rabbi Neil Lauer combines highly rigorous halakhic analysis with deeply thoughtful homiletical insights in a most seamless and clearly presented way. He extracts great wisdom hitherto hidden in plain sight on these important celebrations as well as on a multitude of other Jewish concepts and practices. Over and over again I found myself saying, “I knew this source, but never realized its true full meaning and significance. Of course, now it is obvious.” We owe Rabbi Lauer a great debt for the exceptional gift he has given us. Your understanding and appreciation of the Shalosh Regalim, like mine, will never be the same again.
Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter
Eye opening insights that will benefit scholar and layman alike. Will most certainly enhance the spiritual pleasure of the hagim.

Amos Hanavi (8:11) predicted that preceding Mashiach’s arrival there would be a famine — not for bread and water, but for the word of Hashem. This explains why more and more people find themselves needing the nourishment of the deeper layers of Torah.
Festivals of Faith, presenting the Torah of Rav Moshe Wolfson, shlita, Rav of Beis Midrash Emunas Yisrael and Mashgiach Ruchani of Mesivta Torah Vodaath, attempts to satisfy this hunger and quench this thirst.
Written in a light and engaging style, the Festivals of Faith series draws from the mystical layers of Torah as transmitted through the channels of Chassidus.
Sprinkled throughout are astounding gematrios, marvelous sidebars, and next-level appendices — and each chapter ends with a practical takeaway.
This series opens up the rich resources of the Jewish year, enabling our emunah to blossom with the Festivals of Faith. Learn More
