When G-d was looking to choose a mountain on which to give the Jewish people the Torah, He chose Mount Sinai because it was the humblest mountain.
Thank you Rachel for being Mount Sinai, you sure look pretty with all those flowers which helped us keep score during the game. Hanna, you were a terrific sport being the tallest mountain in the desert!
Those cupcakes look too pretty to eat!
Now for the question: If G-d wanted to teach us to have humility then why didn't He give the Jewish people the Torah in a valley?
He didn't give the Torah in a valley because a valley feels like a nobody. It has too much humility which is almost as worthless as being a tall, large, boastful mountain. It is better to have litle humility but enough to make you proud of yourself (but not too proud!).

Evan, you are so right!
ReplyDeleteIt is important to follow the middle path!
Going too much in either extreme isn't good.
