Iyar is the month of illumination. It is a bridge between Nissan and Sivan and is represented by the letter vav - the letter of connection. 'If you are connected above, you don't fall down below' is a Yiddish expression.

In this month, there is more light and more air available to us to broaden ourselves and prepare for the giving of the Torah on Shavuot? How do we access it? What do we need to understand about ourselves and the world around us to gain greater connectivity to Hashem and His Torah.
