Modern MIDRASH
By rabbi Marc Philippe
REVELATION MIDRASH
The most surreal moment ever experienced collectively. They all heard G!d's voice in their mind simultaneously. This created an intense yearning to cling to the source of this voice and so their soul spontaneously soared to the highest of the worlds, leaving their body behind, lifeless. This is how powerful a revelation can be. And this is how powerful it was for the B’nei Israel on that night of the Great Revelation. But they still had so much more to accomplish and to learn in this physical world, therefore the Source of all Life gently brought back each soul, one at a time, and breathed a Breath of Life into each of the lifeless bodies. During that short journey, they experienced bliss as they never will have ever again in this physical life. They were granted to gaze upon the purest Divine Light and at that moment, they understood unconditional love. Each soul wanted to remain where they knew was their true home, but they were swept back into their bodies. They opened their eyes, and only one person was standing. Moshe. Moshe, in trance, hadn't even noticed the episode. His eyes, unfocused, were directed at the top of the mountain. He knew what he had to do: climb Sinai and connect perhaps like he never had before with the Holy One Blessed be He. “Esa einai el heharim, meayin yavo ezri?”, “I lift up my eyes to the mountain, where does my help come from?” And everyone answered as they were getting up slowly, emerging from their experience: “Ezri me’im Hashem, oseh shamayim vaharetz!'', “My help comes from the Master of the Universe, Maker of heaven and earth!” (from Psalm 121)
