Greatest Day

The greatest day in human history was the revelation at Mount Sinai. The Jewish people that numbered in the millions and they heard G-d’s voice as He gave the first two of the Ten Commandments.

The belief that this event actually occurred is the foundation of Judaism. This is the critical point that makes Judaism a Divine religion, rather than a man made religion.
We are taught that both the Oral Law and Written Law were given on Sinai. The authenticity of the event is that it was witnessed by so many people.

Part of the description of the events of Mount Sinai, attests to the uniqueness of that incredible day. After preparing for the giving of the Torah, the Jewish people found themselves elevated to amazing spiritual heights.

This was an indication that embracing the Torah results in total refinement. They achieved such a high level of holiness that it was described as similar to that of Adam and Eve before the sin.

We are to remember the revelation at Mount Sinai every single day. It was meant to serve as a reminder that when we began as a people, Hashem had revealed Himself in a clear and outward manner where there was no doubt of the truth of His existence.

Moshe Rabbeinu spent the next forty days receiving the Torah. He was like an angel in that he did not eat or drink. If we contemplate these events, we realize that this all must be true.

It all began at Sinai, the greatest day in human history.
