Too Eager to Comply?: The Talmud on the giving of the Torah (Part 9) The Talmud continues to present homiletic analysis and insight into our faithful acceptance and unquestioning readiness to obey when we exclaimed, “We’ll Do and Listen,” before knowing what it was all about! Rather than an important historic happening, our Sages see it as a defining watershed moment; indicative of our essential Jewish character and spiritual persona. Discover how what seems to be impulsive and impetuous or even wild behavior is actually a foundational hallmark of our unique relationship with G-d and His Torah. Masechet/Tractate Shabbos Taf/Page 88a
