Mindful ness

The Sefat Emet highlights the relationship between freedom (Passover) and revelation (Shavu’ot): “Torah is renewed on Shavu’ot in accordance with the freedom that has been awakened on Pesach. Something like this happens every single day as well, as we recall both coming forth from Egypt and receiving the Torah. Even though we already received the Torah, there is still a renewed revelation of Torah in each generation, each year, and each day—a revelation peculiar to that time. That is why freedom, too, needs to be renewed each year; through this we are able to renew our acceptance of divinity.”
