Lag BaOmer has passed, and now the countdown to Shavuot begins! But what makes Shavuot so special? Tonight, we explore how we prepare ourselves to receive the Torah by working on our middot: kindness, patience, gratitude, and caring for others. Through the famous story of Rabbi Akiva and the fish, we discover why the Torah is so much more than just a book, it is our guide for life, our connection to Hashem, and the precious gift we receive again every single year on Shavuot.
