Our sages tell us that “Every day, an echo resounds from Mount Sinai” beckoning to man to come close to G-d.[19]
Said Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov: Have you ever met someone who told you that he hears this echo? To what purpose is this proclamation if no one hears it?
But often a person is seized by a feeling that has no identifiable source or cause. He may be struck with a sudden joy, or fear, or regret. He may suddenly resolve to turn a new leaf in his life, to embark on a new initiative in his spiritual development. From where do these unprovoked awakenings come?
Every day, an echo resounds from Mount Sinai.
