CHABAD ‫ב"ה‬ RESEARCH UNIT Summaries of points of the Rebbe’s Chassidic Discourses ‫בלי אחריות כלל וכלל‬ ‫ד"ה וכל העם רואים את קולות פרשת יתרו תשמ"ד בלתי מוגה‬ Published for Shabbat Sedra Yitro 20 Shvat 5783, 11 February 20231 A KEY MOMENT T HE GIVING OF THE TORAH AT SINAI WAS HIGHLY DRAMATIC, with thunder and lightning and an extra-ordinary intermingling of the senses, What was happening? But the sense of awe, the culmination of a year of dramatic events in Egypt, the Exodus, the Splitting of the Sea, and then travelling through the wilderness with water from the rock and mystical manna, had the effect of removing inner concealment, veils and confusion. The next step is the transformation of darkness to light, the revelation of the Essence to each individual: ‘I am thy G-d’, says G-d to us and to everyone, from every corner of the universe. For the individual men and women at Sinai, this was an extra-ordinary experience of private revelation of the Divine: “I am the L-rd thy G-d”, thy in the singular. The Kabbalists tell us that before the revelation of Divine illumination which brought existence into being, there was Tzimtzum, the veiling of the Divine.

An important element in this process was the darkness and bitterness of Egyptian slavery, as a prelude to the exalted revelation at Sinai. So too each of the other Commandments are expressed in the singular: infinite G-d, communicating uniquely with each individual person. In this sense the heart and mind, the inner being, of each person was ‘ready’ for the Divine revelation which would change everything. A common paradigm views the Divine and all spirituality at one pole, and physical life with its material issues at the other.
