4 FROM THE RABBI’S STUDY RABBI KENNETH A. STERN I want to begin by telling you a story: memories are made, but I would argue (and I don’t much care if I am alone in asserting this) that Shavuot is the In Cleveland the shamess in my shul most important of our holidays—even more important had a dog, and he and his wife trained than Yom Kippur! Let’s face it, it’s hard to wrap your his dog to do at least one trick. Put a head around contrition unless you have done something cookie in front of the dog and say really egregious, and it’s hard to reconcile yourself to/with “treif”—and the dog wouldn‘t eat the an incomprehensible God, no matter how near you may, cookie. Tell the dog “kosher” and the on occasion, perceive God’s presence. So, in my opinion, dog would then eat the cookie. And Yom Kippur is not the easiest holiday to embrace. many of the congregants thought that the dog was very, very smart. Maybe… but those congregants were certainly But a holiday for our minds, a holiday devoted to studying fooled. They didn’t think deeply enough to realize that the and to learning, the holiday we call Shavuot…that is the dog was simply taught “yes” and “no,” just substituting ultimate celebration of what it really means to be a human other words. being, never mind* what it means to be a Jew.

Put a cookie in front of me and tell me it’s treif, and I So join us in shul as Shabbat ends and as we begin won’t eat it. And if you come back in 5 minutes and tell Shavuot together on Saturday night, June 11 for our me, “Okay, now it’s kosher; you can eat it now.” I’m not annual People of the Book, and then for the going to believe you, and/or I am going to ask you lots of re-enactment of the revelation at Sinai on Sunday questions and argue with you. That’s because we human morning, June 12. Finally, join us on Monday, June 13 for beings have the capacity to think, synthesize, enquire—and Yizkor and the Book of Ruth, honoring a woman who that’s what sets us apart from the rest of the creatures that freely accepted the Torah on the holiday that celebrates inhabit our world (and also from that brilliant “kosher” dog the giving of the Torah. in Cleveland). And our unique capacity to think for ourselves and to question may just be what it means when Hope to see you in shul… the Torah says that we are created “in God’s image.”

And that brings me to Shavuot, the thinking person’s * did you like the pun? holiday…I think I have made it pretty clear that Passover is my favorite holiday, despite all the preparation and the expense that it entails. There is nothing quite like the exhaustion that co-mingles with the warmth and satisfaction that I feel as I chant kiddush at the first Seder.

And right up there with Passover is Shavuot, the most “calendrically challenged” of all our holidays. For me, it completes Passover—and not just because the rabbis nicknamed it Atzeret. (Just as Sukkot is “completed” by Sh’mini Atzeret, so too, the rabbis say Shavuot completes Passover: after all, the two are linked by the 49-day counting of the Omer that culminates in Shavuot.)

Shavuot answers the questions that Passover leaves unanswered: freedom for what? Freedom to what purpose? Answer: freedom to grapple with and within the framework that Shavuot provides for us through the revelation—the giving of the Torah—the imparting of divine, eternal truths and our varied understanding and interpretation of them.

Shavuot may not have any rituals of which endearing
