Episode Details

From the moment the Jewish People arrived at Har Sinai, it became a frightening and awe-inspiring experience. Why did Hashem want to evoke fear in us? If this were to be the wedding between Klal Yisroel and the Ribbono Shel Olam, shouldn’t it have been music instead of thunder and lightning? Rabbi Shafier explains that the purpose of the fear was to drive home the message of responsibility. By accepting the Torah, we not only had the power to change the world, but the very existence of the world also became dependent on us. Because of Matan Torah, the human race is now responsible for energizing both the physical and spiritual worlds. What awesome achariyus!

In the final class of the series, Rabbi Shafier brings to light the incredible potential that lies within all of us. You are here to grow, to change and accomplish. Not only is this your purpose, Hashem has a deep desire for your success. He’s rooting for you every day! By internalizing the powerful messages of Shavuos, you can enhance your yomtov, get motivated to learn and face your responsibilities with joy. Don't miss it!
