Parsha:
Yitro 

Description

Dayeinu Had He brought us to Mount Sinai, And not given us the Torah, It would have been enough for us! The climax of Parashat Yitro is the most significant event in all of Jewish history, the giving of the Torah. And yet, the bulk of Chapter 19 is devoted not to the event itself but the preparation for the event. Just "showing up" misses the boat. ...To Rabbi Soloveitchik, holiness is preparation and preparation is holiness.
