What did we “see” at Sinai? What was revealed? The Sefat Emet says that, as part of this intense revelation of God and Torah, what the people saw was their very own essence; they saw the divine part from above that was placed inside them. They realized who they really were. The Torah is like water — we can see mirrored in it our true nature. In this meditation, we get a taste of this vision of ourselves, and we explore how we feel about it — both drawn to it and at the same time fearful, wanting to run away (as the Israelites did). Each time we run away, we are drawn forward again by angels.
