wonderful lecture for those of us that feel alone and challenged. Our job is to represent the will of G-d in desert places.

Thank you

Midbar

What about the etymology of "midbar" - "bespoken" - from the shoresh d-b-r?

Thank you for the wonderful lectures.

I'm pretty sure it's that there's the actual physical Sinai and then the spiritual Sinai within every Jew.

	The Two Sinais Part 2: The Desert of Sinai
You may already know that the giving of the Torah -- which we celebrate on the holiday of Shavuot -- took place at Sinai. But what is Sinai? The Torah speaks of a wilderness called Sinai as well as a mountain by the same name. What is the difference between the desert and the mountain? And how does that shape our understanding of what happened there years ago?
