The Divine Romance

from Weekly Torah Commentaries · host Russ Resnik

We don’t count the seven weeks of the Omer to make sure we celebrate Shavuot on the correct date, since we already know it falls on Sivan 6 every year. Rather, we count the days to express our yearning to relive the encounter at Mount Sinai, when we received the Torah amidst an awesome display of God’s presence.
