We observed the holiday of Shavuot this past week. This holiday commemorates the 6th day of the Hebrew month of Sivan in the year 2448 of the Jewish calendar, (equivalent to 1313 BCE.) On this day, the Israelites received the Torah from G-d at Mt. Sinai. Rabbi Jonathan Sacks of blessed memory once said, “even though women are not commanded to learn Torah, at Mt. Sinai, G-d told Moses to give the Torah to the women first, before the men.”
Known as the Law of Truth, passages in the Torah say about women, “Her mouth opens with wisdom, and the law of lovingkindness is on her tongue.”
