While grateful for having received the Torah thousands of years ago, the Jewish people also acknowledge their miraculous return to the Land of Israel.
This year on Shavuot, while being grateful for having received the Torah thousands of years ago, the Jewish people are also grateful for their miraculous return to the Land of Israel and the opportunity to continue living Judaism to its fullest.
In this video, former Knesset member Rabbi Dov Lipman speaks about his great-grandfather and Torah scholar, Rabbi Elimelech Fischman, who was murdered in the Holocaust on Shavuot night and how the continuity of his traditions shows that the people of Israel are alive and well.
