Intermediate Talmud: Tractate Shabbat The Giving of the Torah at Sinai Part 12 "Supreme Sinai Smash" Learn how fiery rock-shattering metaphors for Torah teachings are emblematic of Divinely-ordained diversity, poised to permeate all of existence with holiness. Likened to a governing force, Torah is cast as wielding powerful dominion containing the sources of success, failures and even our very existence as it can be absorbed as a life-elixir, or heaven forefend become a deadly poison for those who might abuse it! The crowning conclusion of this fascinating exposition about the Giving of the Torah, tells of G-d’s word being tangibly experienced and distilled into a halo-like realities that crowned our ancestors as they received Mass Revelation at Mount Sinai. (Daf/Page 88b)
