Shavuot \u2014 weeks<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been seven weeks since Egypt
and we\u2019re ready for the next Big Thing.<\/p>\n
Seven weeks is three and a half vacations
in my world, and like all matters of import<\/p>\n
much more time is spent planning them
than doing them.<\/p>\n
In this case, one moment at a mountain
defined our whole thing.<\/p>\n
That sounds like the opposite of what I
just said, but it\u2019s been thousands of years<\/p>\n
and we\u2019re still trying to figure it out.
I said we\u2019re ready but as soon as we got it<\/p>\n
we asked for an intervention.
Would you mind, Moses, handling the<\/p>\n
direct connection to our Revelation?
We like to do what is spoken, but<\/p>\n
it\u2019s a bit much to hear it out loud.
So pass it through you, while we<\/p>\n
still have you, and we promise to
get to the doing. In the meantime<\/p>\n
let\u2019s get some blintzes on the table.
No sleep \u2019til Brooklyn some of our sages<\/p>\n
once sang. We\u2019re going to be talking about this
all night.<\/p>\n
