His Exclusive Treasure: The Fortune of Being Chosen
Shavuot: We Are So Fortunate
When Hashem gave us the Torah, He told us “והייתם לי סגולה מכל העמים – we are going to be His exclusive nation, His treasure." Shavuot is a great day of celebration. It’s the day we became eternally connected to Hashem. One of the reasons it’s called Shavuot is derived from the word Shevuot, meaning oaths, because of the two oaths that were made – our oath to accept the Torah and Hashem’s oath that we would be His forever and He would never leave us. The sefarim hakedoshim teach us, Shavuot is the greatest holiday of all, it’s called the Keter HaElyon-the highest crown. We should feel so fortunate that we were chosen to be Hashem’s children, we have the closest relationship with the Creator of the world. That knowledge should bring us so much joy.
Let us celebrate this Yom Tov and feel so blessed that Hashem chose us to be His People. אשר בחר בנו מכל העמים – we are so lucky to be Jews. Let’s learn extra Torah to connect to Hashem even more and, b’ezrat Hashem, we’ll become fit to receive all of His blessings.
Chag Shavuot Sameach & Shabbat Shalom!!
