Shavuos (5771)
by Mordechai Dolinsky

Chag Shavuos, zman matan Toraseinu, is the “Rosh Hashana” for Torah. On this day we must clearly make our commitment to fulfill our specific, individual Torah obligations.

We should use this day to ask of Hashem to have success in our learning, He should lead us to the ideal circumstance that is necessary for our learning, ideal teachers, subject matter approach and learning partners, together with all that is necessary to give us peace of mind.

Matan Torah is a historical fact of reality. Since Hashem presented all of Klal Yisroel with true prophecy, the torah therefore instructs us Bamibar 25:19) not to forget the day we stood before hashem at har sinai and pass it on to our posterity.
