"Before Your Eyes" In his farewell address to his people, in the Torah portion of Eikev, Moses recounts the moment when he descended from Mount Sinai with the two Divine tablets to present to the Jewish people[3]: "I descended from the mountain," Moses recalls, "the mountain was still burning with fire and the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. "I grasped the two tablets, and threw them down from my two hands, and I smashed them before your eyes." https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/903/print-view 1/4 8/1/23, 2:02 PM TheYeshiva.net Moses proceeds to relate how after much toil he succeeded in “convincing” G-d to forgive the Jewish people for their sin. Though the two sets were identical in content, containing the Ten Commandments, the second pair did not possess the same Divine quality as the first tablets, which were "G-d's handiwork and G-d's script[4]." The second tablets were Moses’ creation, endorsed by G-d, but not G-d’s own creation. G-d—the G-d who transcends all human logic, understanding, and imagination—was present in our broken pieces." "As difficult as it is for you and me to believe," the Rebbe concluded, "I want you to know that the extermination of our families, our communities, and our people occurred only 'before our eyes.' There remains a world in which the Jewish people are wholesome. It may be profound fear, shame, insecurity, guilt, disappointment, mistrust, or other forms of emotional trauma that afflict you, shattering your inner sacred and Divine “tablets.” Many of us create for ourselves a second pair of "tablets" in order to substitute for the first ones that were lost. The unique power of the final month of the year, the name of which spells out the words “The Ark containing the whole Tablets and the broken Tablets” is this: This is the month that allows you to build in your personal life an “ark” which will contain not only your second complete tablets but will also embrace the broken pieces of your first tablets. Another Gerer Chassid told me that this insight was presented by the Gerer Rebbe at a prayer gathering in the middle of the Holocaust, on 20 Kislev, 5703, in the "Churvah." [2] Rabbi Avraham Mordechai (born in 1866), known as the Imrei Emes, was the third Rebbe of Ger and passed away in 1948 in Jerusalem. 1640 in Krakow, Pola
