Unresolved conclusions are quintessentially Jewish.

In the wake of Shavuot, we might ask ourselves: What have we been tending that we are now harvesting?

Studying to the point of exhaustion on Shavuot has a deeper purpose.

Perhaps the Jewish people are the embodied principle of life itself, a distillation of humanity evolving toward that which it is not yet?  

Ancient rules regarding priestly purity offer guidance for moments when weighing different kinds of needs against each other proves difficult.

Allowing oneself to be overcome by the exquisiteness of a moment is harder than it seems. Shabbat can help.

Shavuot is not just the culmination of Passover, but also its subversion.

Truly great leadership requires a correspondence between an individual’s inner and outer lives.

Why is the festival of freedom also the holiday with the most rules?

Only when we open our doors to the hungry will we really be open to redemption.
