OPINION & COMMENT Thank you Hashem.
We thank you Hashem for Mattan Torah on that first
Shavuos, for bringing us to the foot of Mount Sinai where we
were truly one, "as one man with one heart." We are grateful
for the unforgettable experience that day -- when the whole
creation received the first two Commandments directly --
which all of us, who were immediately present in spirit,
recall at least subliminally to this day and forever. Shavuos -- Showing Hashem's Love for Us The Seven Days Of Shavuos: Understanding Isru Chag and
Yemei Tashlumin In the times of the Beis Hamikdosh the entire Jewish nation would journey to Yerushalayim to celebrate yom tov in the Beis Hamikdosh. Now one can only try and visualize this extraordinary scenario, and wonder how so many people could possibly be contained within the walls of one building. Our Sages add to our amazement when they revealed to us that despite the vast multitude, there was plenty of space for each one to bow down comfortably (Mishnah Ovos 5,7). In physical terms this is completely inconceivable, for bending down takes up more room then standing upright.
Identified Call
Recognize Hashem's Hand in History During the Gulf War the world witnessed 39 Iraqi Scud missiles landing in Israel, destroying 1,500 homes, but failing to cause serious numbers of casualties, possibly as few as one person being killed directly by falling masonry; the Israel Defense Force took no part in the fighting.
