In this lecture, Rabbi David Fohrman examines the Ten Commandments, asking some basic but difficult questions: What rationale might there be for the Almighty selecting ten out of the 613 commandments in the Torah for some sort of special revelation on Mount Sinai? And: How can we understand why these ten were chosen, as opposed to any others?
In confronting these question, Rabbi Fohrman asks us to consider whether the Ten Commandments is simply a random selection of important laws, or whether the document has internal coherency and "hangs together" in some way as a whole. In the end, a surprising picture of the Ten Commandments emerges, revealing core principles of human conduct that are necessary for building lasting relationships with those around us and with the Divine.NOTES: Purchased from Artscroll.
