I think we get so stuck in the remembering that we forget that part of remembering is making the experience our own. Or making it mine. My favorite Shavout was camping out in Israel near a cave and a spring and learning with some yummy initmate friends. I hope that you and your family are well!

My sense, knowing none of the mfarshim on that pasuk, is that the Torah's consuming fire refers to annhiliation of ego, or the burning (or pruning) of that which is superfluous in our life. Fire can also allow stiff things to bend and become moldable. And it can destroy. Without help, the Torah's fire can burn, wound and even scar a person or family.
