The three world’s giants | |
The holiday of Shavuot has direct relevance to the three giants of the world. They are: *Moshe Rabeinu (Moses), who received the Torah on the holiday of Shavuot. * King David * The Baal Shem Tov All three of them departed from this world on the same day, on Shavuot. What does this have to do with us? |
|
“…Consequently, it’s understood, that in addition to learning Torah, which has to do with Moses, the holiday is an auspicious time to make decisions that have to do with King David, such as saying Tehilim (Psalms), King David’s book, referred to as a book that’s pleasant to say praises to G-d. In addition, one should make other good decisions that have to do with the coming of the Moshiach King David, who will “fight G-d’s war and will be victorious, and all other signs that will identify him conclusively as the Moshiach, as outlined by the Rambam. |
