In case you aren’t able to make it to shul for Shavuot (Thursday night through Sunday night), here are some video gifts to help you honor the holiday:

Click above to hear the great Reb Zalman Schachter Shalomi read and comment on The Book of Ruth. Sublime. You can find the entire video oeuvre (seven parts) on YouTube…

In honor of the harvest, click below to watch a clip of Berber farmers in Riad bringing in the barley. (Probably just how it looked in the days of Ruth…)

Below that comes a brief Sinai moment: a time lapse thunderstorm (“…and all the people saw the sounds…”)

And below that, click for a tutorial on how to make a Shavuot cheesecake.

Chag Shavuot Sameach. May this be a season of revelations for us all…
