Portion Yitro and the Great Wedding at Sinai
After 2 weeks with little sleep in the US
I arrived in Israel 5AM yesterday and made it to my 6AM minyan
And we all went to dinner in Jerusalem with my brother's family...
Getting home late and needing sleep.
So I missed my Friday 630am minyan and
Was Lucky to be at a 730 Sefaradi minyan
Where the leader reminded us
OF THE GREAT WEDDING
1. The Torah Reading this Shabbat includes the 10
Commandments
2. Reading those Words this week is
PREPARing us for the
Festival of Shavuote ! That's the
Anniversary of Giving the Torah!:
3. Many wise people have debated what went on at Sinai.
Rav Kook wrote that despite all sorts of theories
It is IMpossible that Moses invented a 3000 year
Successful Movement
Dedicated to G-dliness
without Divine Inspiration!
Sinai represents an Eternal Truth to the World
4. Sinai represents the Great Wedding
Between the Almighty and the Israelites.
5. Our Sinai Story gives us the model
TOO LOOK FORWARD AND ACT FORWARD
not to think
(SIGH) Oh the Ten Commandments Again?
BUT
That we Each Need to find a Daily Way
To bring us CLOSER to the Sinai VISION
Of Responsible Humanity and Joy with Holiness
From the Torah!
Shabbat Shalom
