Teach Your Family: Torah Is Our Life Force
In receiving the Torah at Sinai, G-d told Moshe to address the women before the men; this was due to their status as the bedrock of each Jewish household. Similarly, they should precede the men in the annual preparations for Matan Torah that takes place on Shavuos. Women should strive to permeate their families with a longing for Matan Torah—filling them with the awareness that the Torah is “our life and the length of our days.”
