SF - Moshe Received the Torah from Sinai

"Moshe received the Torah from Sinai" (Avos 1:1). We might assume that the essential knowledge of Torah is the masterful comprehension of Torah law. However, the "Torah of Truth" refers to a different aspect of the Sinai experience. The most significant knowledge that Moshe attained at Mount Sinai was a clear awareness of HaShem, the Almighty Creator. Indeed, HaShem revealed to Moshe the highest level of His holiness and light. This awareness of HaShem is called the "Torah of Sinai." Torah wisdom pertains not only to the knowledge of the law but, even more importantly, to the invaluable awareness of knowing HaShem. The "Torah of Sinai" is characterized by knowing HaShem's infinite kindness, awesome power, and pure holiness. Knowing the truth of the Torah is attaining real awe and love of HaShem. 


The revelation of HaShem at Mount Sinai to Klal Yisrael was the most significant event in the history of humanity. The very essence of the Torah pulsates with this precious awareness. Therefore, the knowledge of HaShem is accessible to every person through Torah study. The more we sensitize ourselves to know the greatness of HaShem through Torah study, the more we grasp the very essence of the "Torah of Sinai."


Envision yourself standing at Mount Sinai with Moshe Rabenu and all of Klal Yisrael. Hear HaShem declare, "I am the Lo-rd your G-d, Who took you out of the land of Egypt." See the flame of fire rising from the mountain unto the heart of Heaven. Hear the sound of the Shofar and envision the trembling of Mount Sinai. Sense the awe of standing in the Holy Presence of HaShem, the Almighty Creator of Heaven and earth.

(Based on the commentary of the Seforno to Pirkei Avos)

SF - The Warmth of Avraham Avinu

"And HaShem appeared to Avraham in the fields of Mamre, and he was sitting in the entrance of his tent, like the heat of the day"(Bereishis 18:1). What is the secret of the phrase, Avraham was sitting "like the heat of the day"? The Torah likens Avraham Avinu to the sun. That is, the kindness and goodness of his heart illuminated the entire world, like the sun. Therefore, Avraham was sitting "like the heat of the day." The verse conveys to us that Avraham positioned himself outside the entrance of his tent, seeking wayfarers to invite into his home for relief and refreshments. Avraham passionately desired to provide them with shade, cool water, and a sumptuous meal. His loving kindness for all humanity radiated with warmth and light upon the entire world like the very sun. 


Avraham Avinu's loving-kindness and pleasant personality, warmed the hearts of all humankind, like the glow and warmth of the golden sun.


Envision Avraham Avinu inviting you into his tent for a meal. Notice how he speaks to you with friendliness, care, and respect. Sense how his warmth and love for all mankind fills the whole world with love, compassion, and kindness. Transpose Avraham's love for every person into your heart, and light up the world with kindness, love, and joy.

(Based on the commentary of the Kli Yakar on the Torah)

SF - Avraham's Loving Heart

"And you will be a blessing" (Bereishis 12:2). This verse reveals that HaShem transfered the power of conveying a blessing to Avraham. Previously, HaShem blessed Adam, Noah, and Avraham. Yet, now HaShem gave Avraham the merit to bless whomever he so wishes. Why did HaShem transfer the power of blessing to a human being? Avraham Avinu mastered the trait of loving-kindness. He loved every person, and constantly performed acts of kindness to all of HaShem's creations. Therefore, since Avraham's heart pulsated with love for his fellow, HaShem saw it was appropriate for Avraham to be the source to to bless all mankind.


The love, care, and joy that flows in our hearts for others, awakens the power of our blessings.


Envision Avraham lovingly blessing you, and all of Klal Israel. Sense the "blessings of Avraham" bringing unbounded goodness into our life. Transpose Avraham's  love and care for all people to your heart. May sweet blessings for your fellow always flow from your heart. 

(Based on Rashi as explained in Da'as Torah)
