The Two Sinais

I spent some time working on a moshav near by the Dead Sea and to me the desert and sea is a very Holy Place, by the nature of the desert it is unchanging except for small parts and it is (or was) much the same as it would have been for hundreds or thousands of years, unchanged by man, a place where the heaven and earth meet and I felt the presence of the eternal I AM more than anywhere. Far from deserted it felt very alive in spirit, I was the healthiest and fittest I have ever been, it is the place I would rather be more than anywhere else in the world. I only spent a few hours in Jerusalem but the feeling of tension and conflict and the history of all the blood that has been shed there put me off going back before I left Israel as I did not want to spoil the experience. It makes perfect sense to me that Moses received the Torah in the desert to give to the people before they entered Israel.

Thank you so much for this amazing and informative interactive multimedia. Reply

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