Hag Matan Torateinu
Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, and is thus also known as Hag Matan Torateinu (the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah). Why does the name emphasize the giving of the Torah, rather the receiving of the Torah? The sages say that we’re constantly in the process of receiving the Torah, but it was given on that day. Thus it is the giving, not the receiving, that makes this holiday significant.
1. Pick one personal item (e.g. something out of your bag) and put it in the center of the table.
1. Introduce yourselves, and share what significance this item has for you (briefly!).
