Shavuot 5786 The Receiving of the Torah

Feast of Shavuot the most misunderstood festival.

Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5786 The Mystical Three

Month of Sivan starts sundown of May 16th, 2026 and is the third month on the Jewish calendar counting from Nisan (redemption/freedom) to Iyar (Counting the Omer) to Sivan (Receiving the Torah) Mystical 3 connected to Sivan: Hebrew Torah: The Hebrew Bible is divided into three sections: Torah (Law), Nevi'im (Prophets), and Ketuvim (Writings). Three-Part Nation: The Jewish people are structurally divided into three groups: Kohanim (Priests), Levites, and Israelites. Third Child: Moses, who ascended Mount Sinai to receive the Torah, was the third child of his parents, Amram and Yocheved (after Miriam and Aaron). Three Days of Preparation: Before the revelation at Sinai, God commanded the nation to undergo three days of spiritual purification Number 1: Absolute unity (Hashem) Number 2: Represents separation, division and duality (man and woman; heaven and earth) Number 3: Represents ”Harmony and Peace”. It is the force that connects two opposing realities. Shavuot celebrates the ultimate connection between the upper spiritual worlds and our physical world, bridged forever by the Torah. In Torah thought, the number one represents absolute unity (God). The number two represents separation, division, and duality (man and woman, heaven and earth). [1, 2, 3] The number three represents harmony and peace. It is the force that connects two opposing realities. Shavuot celebrates the ultimate connection between the upper spiritual worlds and our physical world, bridged forever by the Torah. The Month of Divine Connection In Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), Sivan is the month of integration. It moves us past the constriction of Nissan (Passover) and the spiritual refinement of Iyar (the Omer). Sivan represents the ultimate wedding between heaven and earth. 1 Time 2:5 (Yeshua the mediator between Heaven and earth) 5 For God is one;[a] and there is but one Mediator between God and humanity, Yeshua the Messiah, himself human, 6 who gave himself as a ransom on behalf of all, thus providing testimony to God’s purpose at just the right time. Ep 2:11-14 (Yeshua broke the wall to bring peace) 11 Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised — 12 at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra’el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God’s promise. You were in this world without hope and without God. 13 But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah’s blood. 14 For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m’chitzah which divided us
