This Sunday evening marks the arrival of the holiday of Shavuos. This holiday is the anniversary of our acceptance of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and is a time for renewal of our attachment to Jewish learning and growth.

Every holiday has its unique signs and symbols. Rosh HaShanah has the Shofar, while Yom Kippur finds us fasting and in non-leather shoes. Sukkos has the Sukkah, while Pesach has Matzah (and entire rooms coated in aluminum foil).

What about Shavuos? The Torah, the same Torah we have every day of every week, is its sign. Can that truly be its special sign?

The answer, though, is yes. There is always something new to be found in Torah, something that inspires us and helps us to grow, to change.

This Shavuos, may we find that spark, for a wonderful year ahead of continuous Jewish growth!
