We are approaching the beginning of the month of Sivan, when the Jewish people, more than 3300 years ago, camped in front of Mount Sinai to receive the Torah on Shavuot (6th of Sivan).
From a Jewish perspective, time is a kind of spiral, where one always passes through the same places on the circle, only at different levels. This means that the same energy that shone on the "original" 1st of Sivan shines on the 1st of Sivan, 3318 years later.
The preparation, on the part of the Jewish people, to receive the Torah, was unity - ajdut. As the Torah says: "And Israel encamped before the mountain," "encamped" in the singular, "as one man, with one heart.".
Receiving the Torah means, among other things, that we have the tool with which we can achieve the goal of our very creation: the refinement and elevation of ourselves and the world around us.
It follows from this that preparation for achieving the fullness of life itself is unity. Only when we all set aside our personal agendas and affairs for the sake of the community, for a higher, shared collective goal, will we be able to reach communal wholeness.
We all have personal needs and interests, but we must learn to appreciate that Am Israel—the People of Israel—transcends all our individual interests. We must begin to think as a community.
