Shavuot Day 1
The Haftarah portion for First Day of Shavuot (Ezek. 1:1-28; 3:12) narrated in English by Ronald Guttman.
Questions for Discussion:
• Why do you think Ezekiel’s bizarre vision of four-faced heavenly creatures was chosen as the haftarah for the first day of Shavuot? How does a surreal vision such as this complement the account of the giving of the Torah at Sinai?
• How does a personal mystical experience this differ from a communal encounter like the Sinai narrative? What does each offer that the other doesn’t?
