  Thank you for the wonderful, deep and insightful lecture on Parshat Yitro.  The reference to 600000 letters of the Torah / 600000 souls at the Mt. Sinai triggered my further research that brought me to the following discovery:
  There are "5,888 or 5,845 verses in the Torah."
  I'm quoting this website : 

  https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/44230/how-many-words-are-there-in-tanach

  So a couple of questions here:
  1. So how many verses are really there?  5888 or 5845?

  2. Why the discrepancy?

  3. Do you think that this number gives us a hint regarding Moshiah's arrival?
  Thank you once again for your continous flow of wisdom!

  If we are all witnesses

  which is what GD says, and Torah is the document we have to refer to , then we should all be able to serve as a witness, no?

  Someone commented

  They way we approach the position and task assigned to us can determine how we handle the engagement of activity and the result that will either produce hundred, sixty or thirtyfold.

  A witness may have his memory jogged by a document he wrote

  When Hashem testifies to us at Har Sinai as what He did 7 weeks earlier in Mitztrayim,  is He testifying as a witness relying on a document (the Torah)? 

  I suppose He qualifies as a Talmud Chocham for whom the rules about testifying are relaxed.

  If we are (all) witnesses (according to GD)

  why then is it only the tzaddikim that can testify without necessarily remembering at first the event or even be reminded by the litigant?

    There are witnesses who remember without a trigger, who need a little trigger and others who need to be reminded of the story.

    Some souls need no reminding about yetzias mitrayim, some need a little trigger and others who have no independent recollection.

  HIS plan was that

  we are divine!!! But he gave us all our challenges, our natures, the human nature, the thing that has flaws, the thing that we have to overcome. The dissonance was injected by Who? By us? Did GD put that into the reality? Wasn't that dissonance part of HIS plan?

    See parsha Berashis regarding the snake.

    We are Divine, yes, but not divine robots with no free choice or temptations. That would defeat the purpose. 

    The "kuntz" is to overcome the yetzer, the snake, the temptations.

  Can you explain...

   the part about us “not having intermediaries:? GD is who we are supposed to talk to. No intermediaries, and yet we are “allowed”? to have a tzaddik pray for us eg. Moshe Rabbeinu was like an intermediary, the Rebbe too, and other tzaddikim. How can that be ok if we are supposed to talk to GD directly?

    We daven to Hashem directly and also ask people alive or not to daven for us, on our behalf, to be messengers for us.

    In the chevra Kadisha (burial prep group) we ask that the mais (deceased) be a "Melitz yosher" a good intermediary for us

  Question for Rabbi

  Dear Rabbi,

  Can you say something what we can learn about this week when 3 big Rabunim passed away in the same day, and all in Yerushilayim, intrasting that one was from the Yeshivash's world, and one from the Litvishe and one from the Chasedisha world. also can it be that it was a sign of mercy from Hashem?  and BTW. my grandftaher who is still alive and lives in Jerusalem says a story that when he was a child one of the big tzadikim said that there was suposed to be a big decree that year in israel and instead Hashem took away the decree and there will be a massive snow storm, and he remembers the snow storm which was pesach time, so i was wondering if the snow in America (which mainly hit NY where is a big Jewish crowd) is also a sign of mercy,

    it means that all three of the rabbonim had baruch hashem ARUCHAS YAMIM ,all of them passed away in their nineties and had a long and fruitfull life.

    As far as the 18" of snow here in the northeast of the U.S,is a sign for the happy kinderlech that there is no school for that day (my great grandchildren were absolutely delighted)
