Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2023 / 5783 Pshuto PSHUTOShel Mikra SHEL MIKRA From the Teachings of Rav Yehuda Copperman zt”l Parshat Yitro Moshe’s Additional Day of Preparation for Matan Torah :‫וְ קִ ַּדׁשְ ּתָ ם הַ ּיוֹם ּומָ חָ ר‬ Prepare them today and tomorrow. (Shemot 19:10) The Source The Gemara in Masechet Shabbat (87a) relates the following regarding the timing of Matan Torah: ‫ (א) הוסיף יום אחד‬.‫ והסכים הקב”ה עמו‬,‫ שלשה דברים עשה משה מדעתו‬,‫דתניא‬ ,‫ מאי דריש‬,‫ הוסיף יום אחד מדעתו‬.‫מדעתו (ב) פירש מן האשה (ג) שבר את הלוחות‬ ‫ אף‬,‫” מה “מָ חָ ר” לילו עמו‬,‫ "הַ ּיוֹם" כ”מָ חָ ר‬,”‫ י) “ וְ קִ ַּדׁשְ ּתָ ם הַ ּיוֹם ּומָ חָ ר‬,‫(שמות יט‬ .‫ שמע מינה תרי יומי לבר מהאידנא‬,‫ ולילה דהאידנא נפקא ליה‬,‫“הַ ּיוֹם” לילו עמו‬ .‫ומנלן שהסכים הקב”ה על ידו? As we know, with regard to Bnei Noach, the night follows the day, as it says (Bereishit 8:22) “‫ — וְ יו ֹם וָלַ יְ לָ ה ֹלא יִ ׁשְ ּב ֹתּו‬and day and night shall not cease.”7 This is not the case with Bnei Yisrael, who operate in accordance with the original plan for the world, which is (ibid. 1:5) “‫ — וַיְ הִ י עֶ רֶ ב וַיְ הִ י ב ֹקֶ ר יו ֹם אֶ חָ ד‬it was evening and it was morning; one day.” And this is indeed fitting, since Chazal tell us8 that it was “‫בשביל‬ ‫ — ישראל שנקרא ראשית‬it is only for Yisrael who are called ‘reishit’ that the world was created.” From the time of the chet of Adam HaRishon, mankind was demoted from the level of “‫וַיְ הִ י עֶ רֶ ב‬ ‫ ”וַיְ הִ י ב ֹקֶ ר‬to the level of “‫וְ יו ֹם וָלַ יְ לָ ה‬,” until the time when Bnei Yisrael received the Torah and were once again capable of functioning on the level of “‫וַיְ הִ י עֶ רֶ ב וַיְ הִ י ב ֹקֶ ר‬.” According to one opinion in Chazal,9 the events recorded in Shemot perek 24, known as Brit Torah — the covenant of Torah, occurred on the Fourth of Sivan, before the Torah was actually given. On that day, Hashem instructed Moshe “‫ — וְ קִ ּדַ ׁשְ ּתָ ם הַ ּיו ֹם ּומָ חָ ר‬prepare them today and tomorrow.” (Shemot 19:10) In which case, that instruction was said at a time when the people had already left the status of Bnei Noach and attained the status of “Yisrael.”10 Therefore, in keeping with their new status, it was c
