"A very clear message is always being transmitted"


"It is written that the voice on Sinai was a mighty voice that did not stop.


This is repeated in much of the Chasidic literature.

The voice giving the Law never stopped.


It is still giving the Law, for ever and ever, for eternity.

Put in another way, there is a very clear message that is always being transmitted.

The thing that has changed is that we are no longer listening."

--Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
