Making cheese blintzes for Shavuos
An insight:
Dawn of the sixth day of Sivan, in the year 2448 after the creation of the world.
Thunder and lightning rent the air, and the sound of the shofar was heard growing strangely louder and louder. All the people in the camp of Israel trembled.
Then all was quiet again. The air was very still. Not a sound was to be heard. No bird twittered, no donkey brayed, no ox lowed. Every living thing held its breath. Even the angels interrupted their heavenly praises. Everybody and everything kept silent . . . waiting.
Suddenly G-d's mighty words were heard from one corner of the earth to the other:
"I AM G-D, YOUR G-D!"
One after another, G-d proclaimed the Ten Commandments.
During the next forty days and nights, Moses was G-d's disciple, learning all the Commandments, along with the proper meaning of the Torah which was to be handed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. Afterwards Moses wrote down on parchment all the five books of the Torah, word for word, from the "Bet" of Bereshit to the "Lamed" of Yisrael (the last word of the Pentateuch), as it was dictated to him by G-d Himself.
