The Sinai Experience
Inspiration: "Moshe received the Torah from Sinai" (Avos 1:1).
The essential and primary knowledge that Moshe received at Mount Sinai was his deep understanding and awareness of HaShem, the Living G-d. HaShem revealed Himself to Moshe at Sinai so clearly that Moshe "experienced" HaShem. The love and awe of HaShem that filled Moshe's heart and soul is called the "Torah of Sinai." True Torah thought pertains, not to just knowing the law, but to the great knowledge of knowing the exalted holiness of HaShem.
Lesson: The deep understanding and awareness of HaShem, that awakens the love and awe of HaShem is the true essence of Torah.
Visualization: Envision yourself standing at Mount Sinai hearing HaShem speak. See a great flame raising from the mountain to Heaven, and stand in awe in front of HaShem. Relive the Sinai Experience by recognizing the infinite dimensions of HaShem's love, holiness, and power.
