BEING THE TORAH, NOT JUST DOING
From AVODAH ALIVE by Rabbi Levi Lebovits
April 23, 2026 · 13 min · Season 2 · Episode 9
About this episode
Rabbi Levi Lebovits discusses the significance of Shavuos and the idea of embodying the Torah rather than merely following its laws.
Shavuos is coming, a celebration of the Jewish people accepting the Torah some 3300 plus years ago. So once we received the Torah, why do we celebrate every year? Surely, we have all the laws and decrees - what more is there? Plenty - and Rabbi is about to bring you a few thoughts on the idea that Hashem wants us to BE the Torah, not just DO what it says. Fascinating ideas await you.
