The Torah was given freely, in an ownerless public place. If it had been given in the land of Israel, the nations of the world would say that they have no portion in it. Anyone who wishes to properly accept it is welcome to do so.
Why was Mount Sinai chosen to be the site for the giving of the Torah? The conventional answer is that the choice of Mount Sinai was to teach us humility, since Mount Sinai was the most humble of all mountains. If so, why was it not given in a low lying valley? Surely that would have been a stronger lesson in humility?
Hence, we learn that a Jew must be able to distinguish between being proud and being arrogant. Arrogance is distasteful. Being proud of one's roots is a virtue. The Torah therefore, was given on a humble mountain.
Non Jews today Absolutely! We Jews were
the only nation that accepted the
Torah, with out question, the other nations had the opportunity, but refused! Torah is G-d's blueprint
for our lives, for ALL OF US!
It is said that when moshiach will come all the Gentiles will ask Hashem why he is giving so much honor to Am Israel? He will answer, "because they accepted my Torah"
They will answer, " In that case also give us the Torah so we also can receive honor."
Hashem answered, "I tested them and they passed the test"
They said, " Ok test us too so we can receive the Torah!"
Hashem will give them the mitzvah of dwelling in the sukkah. They will subsequently fail the test and not receive the Torah.
