Shavuot - A Watershed in History

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of Shavuot and the unique relationship established between God and Israel at Mt Sinai.

When God met with Israel at Mt Sinai. He established a relationship of a type that had never existed before. He asked for their consent to the relationship - other 'gods' and rulers had simply taken power. He spoke to everyone, not just the elite - before only the adept were initiated into the mysteries of their gods. He told them all what He expected, not just a small occult group. This relationship became the model for the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
