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

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
