Li’eloy Neshmas Moshe ben R’ Tzvi on his Yartzeit today!
We all wish that we could see miracles today like they saw in the Torah. What an inspiration that would be to us. The greatest and most significant Torahevent is the giving of the Torah at Har Sinai. The mountain was smoking, not to mention floating in the air, the letters of Hashem’s words took fiery form and were visible to all, each letter wearing a crown. Blind people had their vision restored. The Yidden were so moved that they literally died of fright to be revived by Moshe and Aharon. Miracle upon miracle, each more and more amazing. Would that we could see such miracles today. The Noda B’Yehuda tells us that today we are witnessing a far greater miracle. As the Torah was being given, each Jew had one nagging thought in his heart, “I am here, being inspired by the miraculous Hr Sinai experience. I will certainly be propelled by this event and follow the Torah for the rest of my life. But what about after my life, what about my children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren who are not alive now to see this. Will they have that same fire in their hearts and follow the Torah?” They would have given anything to see what would happen in the future. We can see now, that all these years later, through Galous and torment, Torah has not been forgotten, but in fact, continues to flourish. This is the greatest miracle. The fire lives on.
