In describing the giving of the Torah on Sinai, the Torah writes that G-D spoke in “a great voice that did not cease.”

The Midrash offers 3 explanations:

  1. The voice was not limited to Hebrew. but spoke the languages of all 70 foundational nations.

  2. The voice is continuous - speaking to each of us now, this very day, although we cannot hear it.

  3. The voice did not have an echo.

Of these three reasons, the third seems the most perplexing. After all, shouldn’t the Creator of all speak with a little reverb? One would expect the giving of the Torah to have all the bass, the Dolby Digital Surround Sound that you’d expect from the Master of the Universe.

The reason is because when the Torah was given, it was not meant to stand in contradiction to Creation, but rather to part of our world. An echo shows that the sound waves bounced off everything - but the Torah was absorbed and became one with all.

Good Shabbos! :two_candles:​ :challah:​
