Shavuot

 
This year is 3327 years since we got the Torah on Mount Sinai. The holyday of Shavuot falls on Sunday the 24th and on Monday the 25th of May 2015. So it's Saturday which is holy itself, and two days holiday after Shabbat.
3327 years ago the children of Israel received the Torah. Moses came down from Mount Sinai and all the people with him saw G-d. What did they see? They saw the voices. Did you ever ask yourself how you can see voices? Voices can be heard.

The explanation for this is: today we can only understand explanation of the creation of the world logically; we hear the explanation and see in our brain the logical explanation. As a factory is not created by itself or in coincidence, definitely the global factory – the earth; fire, wind, water, dust, sun, moon and stars is not placed by itself. If there are billions placed atoms, there must be someone who placed them. But in our physical eyes we can't see how G-d is creating the world every day.

3327 years ago the children of Israel that were  millions of people, only men aged 20 through 60 military veterans were 600,000 Add to that the women, children and the elderly reach a few millions. Everyone saw how G-d is creating and bringing life to the world from nothing to be something.
Because the children of Israel saw the truth, they agreed to accept the 613 commandments. We have become an eternal, all holocausts and Gas chambers will not finish Israel!

We need to make a good decision to fulfilling the Torah and its commandments. The Torah is real life. Whoever goes with the Torah adds joy, health and wealth of his daily life.

Take an hour on Shavuot holiday remove all your personal belonging from the pockets, take a shower and change your clothes to holiday clothes, read the 'Ten Commandments' in the Torah.
At least at this hour keep the sanctity of the holiday: Do not answer the phone, do not turn on / turn off the light, do not touch electronic devices etc.

The Ten Commandments

Chapter 19

1.      In the third month of the children of Israel's departure from Egypt, on this day they arrived in the desert of Sinai.
2.      They journeyed from Rephidim, and they arrived in the desert of Sinai, and they encamped in the desert, and Israel encamped there opposite the mountain.
3.      Moses ascended to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain, saying, "So shall you say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel,
4.      You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and I brought you to Me.
5.      And now, if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a treasure out of all peoples, for Mine is the entire earth.
6.      And you shall be to Me a kingdom of princes and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the children of Israel."
7.      Moses came and summoned the elders of Israel and placed before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him.
8.      And all the people replied in unison and said, "All that the Lord has spoken we shall do!" and Moses took the words of the people back to the Lord.
9.      And the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, in order that the people hear when I speak to you, and they will also believe in you forever." And Moses relayed the words of the people to the Lord.
10.  And the Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people and prepare them today and tomorrow, and they shall wash their garments.
11.  And they shall be prepared for the third day, for on the third day, the Lord will descend before the eyes of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
12.  And you shall set boundaries for the people around, saying, Beware of ascending the mountain or touching its edge; whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.'
13.  No hand shall touch it, for he shall be stoned or cast down; whether man or beast, he shall not live. When the ram's horn sounds a long, drawn out blast, they may ascend the mountain."
14.  So Moses descended from the mountain to the people, and he prepared the people, and they washed their garments.
15.  He said to the people, "Be ready for three days; do not go near a woman."
16.  It came to pass on the third day when it was morning, that there were thunder claps and lightning flashes, and a thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very powerful blast of a shofar, and the entire nation that was in the camp shuddered.
17.  Moses brought the people out toward God from the camp, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain.
18.  And the entire Mount Sinai smoked because the Lord had descended upon it in fire, and its smoke ascended like the smoke of the kiln, and the entire mountain quaked violently.
19.  The sound of the shofar grew increasingly stronger; Moses would speak and God would answer him with a voice.
20.  The Lord descended upon Mount Sinai, to the peak of the mountain, and the Lord summoned Moses to the peak of the mountain, and Moses ascended.
21.  The Lord said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people lest they break [their formation to go nearer] to the Lord, and many of them will fall.
22.  And also, the priests who go near to the Lord shall prepare themselves, lest the Lord wreak destruction upon them."
23.  And Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot ascend to Mount Sinai, for You warned us saying, Set boundaries for the mountain and sanctify it.'
24.  But the Lord said to him, "Go, descend, and [then] you shall ascend, and Aaron with you, but the priests and the populace shall not break [their formation] to ascend to the Lord, lest He wreak destruction upon them."
25.  So Moses went down to the people and said [this] to them.

Chapter 20

1.      God spoke all these words, to respond:
2.      I am the Lord, your God, Who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3.      You shall not have the gods of others in My presence.
4.      You shall not make for yourself a graven image or any likeness which is in the heavens above, which is on the earth below, or which is in the water beneath the earth.
5.      You shall neither prostrate yourself before them nor worship them, for I, the Lord, your God, am a zealous God, Who visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons, upon the third and the fourth generation of those who hate Me,
6.      and [I] perform loving kindness to thousands [of generations], to those who love Me and to those who keep My commandments.
7.      You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain, for the Lord will not hold blameless anyone who takes His name in vain.
8.      Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it.
9.      Six days may you work and perform all your labor,
10.  but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord, your God; you shall perform no labor, neither you, your son, your daughter, your manservant, your maidservant, your beast, nor your stranger who is in your cities.
11.  For [in] six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.
12.  Honor your father and your mother, in order that your days be lengthened on the land that the Lord, your God, is giving you.
13.  You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
14.  You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, his manservant, his maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor."
15.  And all the people saw the voices and the torches, the sound of the shofar, and the smoking mountain, and the people saw and trembled; so they stood from afar.
16.  They said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear, but let God not speak with us lest we die."
17.  But Moses said to the people, "Fear not, for God has come in order to exalt you, and in order that His awe shall be upon your faces, so that you shall not sin."
18.  The people remained far off, but Moses drew near to the opaque darkness, where God was.
19.  The Lord said to Moses, "So shall you say to the children of Israel, You have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you.
20.  You shall not make [images of anything that is] with Me. Gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.
21.  An altar of earth you shall make for Me, and you shall slaughter beside it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. Wherever I allow My name to be mentioned, I will come to you and bless you.
22.  And when you make for Me an altar of stones, you shall not build them of hewn stones, lest you wield your sword upon it and desecrate it.
23.  And you shall not ascend with steps upon My altar, so that your nakedness shall not be exposed upon it.' "

2.      You shall offer up a burnt offering with a spirit of satisfaction to the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs in the first year.
3.      Their meal offerings [shall be] fine flour mixed with oil; three tenths for each bull and two tenths for the ram.
