Portion Shavuot - and Naso in Israel
On Mount Sinai heavy things were happening. Angels were blowing Shofars and Lightning lit the sky.
Imagine the week before! How did we get that G-dly presentation - of 10 things we should KNOW Naturally?
On the exact timing of the Revelation at Sinai the Rabbis of the Talmud are of differening opinions.
Were all the Israeltes ready to becomeFaithful and Receivers of the TorA on Thursday?
Or was it on that Friday? or Shabbat - or " the day After receiving the Ten Commandments at Sinai?
The words in theTorA are conceptually clear ... this happened and that happened ...
but it is often that a basic concèpt is taught first and later a less basic one.
Timelines are not G-dly - nor are time limits!
So some rabbis may argue over - WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT.in case of a conflict.
They might think something came later or came sooner - in importance - but
What is clear is that :
In life many things can be happening at once,
while humans have no way to deàl with that.
Events always are serially portrayed - but occuring concurently
What is clear is that everyone was
First healed then
standing beneath the mountain AND
then the Torah was received
And everyone's life was changed - like new converts -
to the religion first taught to the world - by Abraham and Sara.
Chag Samayach Shabbat Shalom and Stay Well
