I Experienced the Resurrection of the Dead Shavuot

[Music] two weeks ago I experienced the resurrection of the Dead I was feeling a little more than usually tired and blury two years ago I had a heart procedure an ablation for atrial flatter now it's a a common heart condition not in itself dangerous but it can lead to serious complications bashem the ablation was successful but a couple of weeks ago I started to feel the same symptoms so I went to get an ECG I wasn't feeling terrible and so I said to the nurse after you'd taken the readings okay thanks very much indeed I'll check the results on your website later he said you are not going anywhere until we get the results from the lab and you get a release minutes later he came running out of the nursing station and said with a very wired look on his face look there's absolutely nothing to worry about at all just stay calm and relax he looked about as relaxed as a snowflake on top of an electric range now you just down and the ambulance will be here in a jiffy I thought to myself your day doesn't always go the way you scripted it I walked into this clinic and thought I'd be out of here in 5 minutes but I'm leaving on a gurnie with sympathetic faces watching me being wheeled into an ambulance they whisper me off to hadassa mount scopus and the doctors decided to give me shock treatment to try and jolt the heartbeat back to normal during the cardio version or shock treatment I knew that my heart would actually be stopped for a moment in a sense I would [Music] die at Sinai when God said I am Hashem your God the entire Jewish people died as the tal puts it reab yushua bin Ley said with each and every statement that came from the mouth of a the Holy One Blessed Be he The Souls of the Jewish people left their bodies as it says in shim the song of songs My Soul departed when he spoke the gamorra continues if their souls left their bodies with the first statement how then did they receive the second statement rather God brought down upon them the due that in the future will revive the dead and he revived them as it says you God pour down a bountiful rain when your inheritance was weary you sustained it it's from Psalms in other words when God said I am Hashem your God the Jewish people experienced the revelation of the Divine that was so shocking so compelling that the life force inside them was inexorably drawn back to its source in other words they died and when God revived them that ultimate intimate contact that they had with the Divine at that point I am Hashem your God was burned indelibly into their souls a knowledge of God's existence transcending all necessity for intellectual proof and a priori knowing as unshakable as the knowledge of One's Own existence Jewish festivals are not commemorations they are the reexperiencing of historical events as though they were actually happening now every year at chuat the entire Jewish people experience the resurrection of the Dead every year we experience the shock treatment the fuses the deepest sense of our own identity of our own existence with the existence of God [Music]
