A guided approach to understanding the events of Shavuos from the Gemara (Shabbos 88a)
The Gemara says that Hashem picked up Har Sinai and threatened to kill the Jewish people if we would not accept the Torah. Several important questions need to be answered to understand this event, including:
– Why did Hashem do this? The Meforshim differ greatly on this point.
– The Jews accepted the Torah on numerous occasions.
– Did they do the same each time, or were there differences between each of them.
– Why was Har Sinai compared to a barrel?
– What critical message can we learn from this?
