We elaborated the
primary question, of how could the sages nullify the mitzvah of
shofar, on Shabbat lest on one carries it...
The call of the
shofar is 'giving oneself over to G-dliness.
You could ask why do
different verses need to be said, why not just blow the shofar? What
do the verses add? And on Shabbat we don't blow the shofar, we just
say the verses.
To address this we
need to preface by saying that the giving of Torah at Sinai came with
the sound of the shofar, and the seeing of the sound.
Torah is known as a
path/derech/way. It is the way to bring down the infinite light into
the world, and the pathways of the world are 'to Him'. They are the
ways for Him to come and be present in the world.
What does it mean
that He needs a pathway to be in the world? Isn't He everywhere?
Well, He is above and simple – not a composite, and beyond cause
and effect. We don't have practical examples of someone who is above
cause and effect, but the king of a country can give us an
indication... who is above that framework...
In fact the human
being is an essence. Secularists cannot handle that thought so they
deconstruct the human being and say he evolved from a monkey...
