This post is about the Jewish month of Sivan, as it relates to The Chazak Plan: A 12 Month Journey to Spiritual Strength.
Rosh Chodesh Sivan begins Monday night, the 14th of May and lasts for one day.
The festival of Shavuot begins Motzai Shabbat, the 19th of May. On Shavuot, we celebrate receiving on Mount Sinai the Torah, God’s instruction manual for life. Even those who are unaffiliated, without realizing it, observe part of the Torah. Take for example the 10 Commandments, many already believe in God, do not worship idols, honor their parents, do not commit murder, adultery etc.
Begin at whatever level of observance you are currently on, and pick one area you are motivated to strengthen this month. At the end of each day/week, mark off on your checklist if you kept that observance.
Question for the month:
“What area of observance will I strengthen this month or at least learn more about?”

Take care and may God grant us success in the coming month,
