A Locked Garden

The Alef Kabbala Group (17 Apr 07) explored a discourse by the Lubavitcher Rebbe entitled "A Locked Garden" 1987, said on 3 Iyyar 5747. This discourse presents the relationship between G-d and the Jewish people as moving from 'betrothal' to 'marriage' during the course of leaving Egypt and then reaching Mount Sinai and receiving the Torah, celebrated by the Festival of Shavuot. The 'locked garden' expresses the dedication of the Jewish people to G-d. This discourse was edited by the Rebbe and published for the New Moon of Iyyar in 1990.
