Matan Torah.
Our purpose is to give the Torah, not just to receive it.
We should be using Torah like a sword to chop off and melt away all the evil of the world.
The power of Torah is the power to melt away and change the world for the better. We can’t sit still in this time.
The more we accept the Torah anew with simcha, the more it becomes internalised. Whatever we do and whatever we accomplish on Shavuos remains with us eternally. Everything we worked on up to the point of Shavuos, during the 49 days stays with us. Unlike Shabbos, when our second soul leaves us at the end of shabbos and we need besamim to revive us; we don’t do besamim Motzei shavuos because we don’t need to be revived. The gift of Shavuos stays with us forever, till eternity.
