In this last episode of Season 5, I share with you an excerpt from my conversation with an incredible human being, someone who, despite her paralysis from the waist down, limited vision and hearing, continues to live life with utmost joy, inspiring everyone around her to be thankful for our every breath and our opportunities to love and to serve others. Her story of resilience and faith is so motivating that I hope you will share it with others. My guest is dancer, singer, artist and author Kimberly Ocampo.

In this episode, I recount the details of two Shavuot events that I attended this year. I explain the holiday's significance and traditions. Shavuot is not only a time for spiritual growth, but also it is a time for families and communities to come together, reaffirming their commitment to Jewish learning, while celebrating the spiritual connection with G-d.
