Young Israel of Westside Shiurim

Shabbos 88

  1. As discussed, r Yosi says Torah was given on 7 Sivan on a Shabbos and Rabanan say that Shabbos was the 6 of Sivan. A new perspective on the dispute is that r Yosi holds the Exodus was a thrursday and the rabanan says it was a Friday.

  2. Acc to the rabanan, the Torah was given on the 3rd day of abstaining relations. The Torah of 3 parts:תנך, was given to people of 3: כהנים לוי ישראל, by a 3rd born (Moshe) in the third month on the third day of abstaining.

  3. It says the Jews stood under the mountain: Hashem picked Har Sinai over the Jews heads and coerced us into accepting the Torah. In the times of Purim, we rededicated ourselves to Torah and accepted it willingly.

  4. The Earth was scared until the Torah was given, bc their very existence was contingent on the Jews getting the Torah.

  5. When the Jews said naseh before nishma, 600,000 angels made them two crowns each, and after the golden calf, 1,200,000 angels stripped them of these crowns. Moshe received all of them and they will eventually be returned to our heads.

  6. Na’aseh v’nishma is a secret usually used by angels. This is like the Apple tree whose fruit come Before the leaves

  7. Golden calf was like kallah committing adultery in her bridal chamber.

  8. Every word said at matan Torah split into 70 languages. Each word had two crowns attached to it. With every word coming, a new powerful scent filled the world. HaShem cleared the smells with wine in between.

  9. Torah has power to heal (those who hold with the right hand) and to hurt (those who hold with left hand)

  10. Some Jews died after hearing HaShem talk and had to be revived with special few. Other Jews jumped back 12 mil and had to be helped back to Har Sinai

  11. When Moshe went to Heaven to receive the Torah, the angels complained that Torah is not meant for human beings, but Moshe refuted their arguments by showing that the Torah is meant for humans.
