"What is a new blessing in your life?" This Shavuot, Rabbi Joshua Stanton explores the meaning of the "harvest" in our modern lives. It’s found in the fruits of our learning, the bridges we build, and the ways we inspire each other. As we receive the Torah anew, we find the "multitudes of good" that strengthen our global Jewish family.

Happy Lag BaOmer! Today marks the 33rd day of the Omer, a day when we honour Rabbi Akiva and the miraculous end of a devastating plague that had killed his disciples. This day of celebration offers a respite in a period of mourning.

Lag BaOmer is a reminder that, even in our darkest moments, joy finds a way. For generations, the Jewish people have endured, knowing when to mourn and when to dance, when to grieve and when to celebrate.

Today, we celebrate. Chag Sameach!
