Bring it

Here's a little song I wrote about the holiday of Shavuos (starting tonight):
To the tune of 'Just wrap it'

Sha-sha-sha-vuos, for thee I be yearnin'
Sha-sha-sha-vuos, all night I be learnin'

Three thousand years back, plus,
we was chillin out at Sinai,
G-d asked us to accept,
and we said a-ight; fine - I

will do and I will listen,
to the rules that you make
and then when we be done,
we gonna eat cheesecake

Sha-sha-sha-vuos
Sha-sha-sha-vuos

Yup you got it, tonight sis Shavuos, the holiday that we celebrate receiving the Torah (bible), our guidebook to life. It also happens to be the best selling book of all time (eat that J.K. Rowling!).

You're probably all asking, "Dani, what's your favorite thing about Shavuos?"
Well, maybe not all of you are asking that, just some of you...
OK, OK, so none of you care, I'm gonna tell you anyway, so just quiet down and listen!

When the Jewish people camped around Mt. Sinai to get the Torah, it says, "He camped beneath the mountain." Why does it say 'he', if it was a whole group of a few million people (some people say that the 'he' is referring to my imaginary friend Bartholomew, but it's a minority opinion)?

The answer is that the Jewish people at that time were such good friends- they had such unity (go unity, go unity, it's your birthday, etc.), that it was as if they were one person!

It's easy to love Jews who go to Camp Nageela, but the lesson we learn on Shavuos, is that in order for us to get on G-d's good side (and let's face it, that's about as good brownie points as you're gonna get), we gotta love every Jew, and treat them as if they were our own left pinky toe (pedicure, anyone?).

Also... note the title of this post, "Bring it."
On Shavuos people would bring offerings of the first fruit that grew in their fields, to thank G-d for giving them fruit (I always bring offerings of my first pickles). It's sorta like the original Thanksgiving. Appreciate the people who give us stuff.

So this Shavuos, don't forget to bring it!
