Sivan: Living the Torah’s Wisdom AND You’re Not Arrogant, But Are You Truly Humble?

Dear Friends,

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 Saturday night, Motzai Shabbat, the 23rd of May and lasts for one day.

The festival of Shavuot occurs during this month. 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?”

Article for the week:
You’re Not Arrogant, But Are You Truly Humble?

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

Yaakov
