Are we ready?

Tonight we counted "49" of the Omer.


Shavuot is tomorrow night. Are we ready to accept Asseret HaDibrot, The Ten Commandments, the ten main mitzvot of the 613?



Most people are more concerned with getting the right cheese for the cheesecake and not the spiritual preparations.
Chazal say that we should choose one mitzvah, commandment to try to observe in an extremely intense way.
How about charity and chessed?

charity and chesed begin at home. This year, I don't feel capable of even putting a shavuous meal on the table much less anything else. so, all I can focus on is doing chesed for my family and shopping and cooking. maybe in years to come, I will be able to cook for others or do something outside of the family realm.

Festive doesn't have to be fancy. If you eat dairy on Shavuot, it's enough to have simple salads, cheeses, spreads and breads.
