CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Free Summaries of the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫ד"ה וידבר אלוקים תשכ"ט מוגה‬ Published for Shavuot 6 Sivan 5782, 5 June 20221 THREE ASPECTS OF ‘SAYING’ T HE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE INTRODUCED WITH THE WORDS ‘AND G-D SAID ALL THESE WORDS, SAYING’2. Further, a discourse by the Rebbe Maharash6 states that at Sinai the Divine Name was imparted to each Jew: in the soul, the Yud is wisdom, the Heh is Understanding, the power to understand one thing from another, meaning to be able to look at the universe and understand the presence of the Divine, the Vav means the feelings of love and awe of the Divine which result, and then the second Heh which is the sense of surrender to G-d, Kabbalat ‘Ol (the Acceptance of the Yoke of Heaven).

As the Talmud says ‘Abraham our father was a scholar studying in Yeshivah’ (Yoma 28b) and similarly Isaac and Jacob, and they performed Mitzvot, for which they had to know the Torah. But at the Giving of the Torah, the entire Jewish people were present and could hear, including all Jewish souls which would be born in the future, as well as proselytes. See Torat 2 Through the fact that the Jew is aware of the Divine Name within him or her, the individual is filled with a sense of bitul, selflessness before the Divine. We see the significance of the body in the Midrash about each person receiv
