Most Jews live in constant search. Searching for meaning, searching for connection, searching for a sense of being able to do the right thing. Trying to be better Jews, keeping more commandments, learning more Torah. But something is always missing.
On Shavuot, something revolutionary happened. God didn't wait for us to find Him - He came to us. He gave us His truth, not ours. His perspective on life, not our ideas about what life should be like.
Rabbi Jacobson in an in-depth lesson concerning Shavuot, on the famous words of Rav Yosef, "If it weren't for Shavuot that He made - how many Yosefs are there in the market": how the giving of the Torah transformed the search into discovery, the effort into acceptance, the service of Hashem into life with Hashem.
