Rabbi Sacks – The Torah of Kindness and Truth
Coming up to Shavuot, I would like to look at one tiny detail of the Rabbinical understanding of Z’man Matan Torahteinu, the actual event of the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.

So I think this is an interesting dimension of the understanding of the event, and also one that explains something very important that’s happened to Judaism in the past century
