The Book of Ruth is much more than a story about one woman’s conversion to Judaism and love for the Jewish people. Many laws and customs are based on her experiences.

Yesterday they were dropping their children off at school and checking in at work. Today, thousands of civilians are held hostage in their homes under unrelenting rocket fire. But they are not alone.

Our sages teach us that the Revelation at Sinai was a wedding. God was the groom and the Jewish people were His bride.

Every morning a Jew should wake up and feel fortunate to have the Torah and the opportunity to observe its commandments. We remember this even more so on Shavuot.

It is ironic that Shavuot is such a little-known holiday. Because in fact, Shavuot commemorates the single most important event in Jewish history - the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

Three guys do the "Torah tango" and try to stay up all night studying Torah on Shavuot.

Never give up! There is always so much more that we can accomplish in life. We must never let anything get us down or prevent us from succeeding.

On the one hand, we are elevated, each soul, a precious and unique possession, and yet on the other, we should be indistinguishable as shifting sand. Which is right?

Every person and every tribe has its own unique role within the Jewish people. Not everyone can be the High Priest, but everyone can be a contributing member.
