Hashem Who gives us the Torah

 

The G’marra in Nidareem 38A says that Hashem taught Moshe Rabeinu the entire Torah on the 40 days and 40 nights that Moshe was on Har Sinai.  He taught the entire Torah daily and then he would forget it every day and at the end Hashem taught him the entire Torah as a gift. 

Hashem gave Torah to  Moshe as a gift , such as the gift we refer to when we say in the morning, Nosein Hatorah, Hashem Who gives us the Torah. 

There is place within our body we can literally receive this gift to access the tool of Torah!, 

We can become this!!, “Our body can become literally a functioning Sefer Torah”. 

This is why if you're carrying a Sefer Torah, and if you're walking with a Talmud Chacham, (a real Torah Sage), the Torah Sage goes through the door first, because the Torah Sage is not just the words of Torah, the Torah Sage is someone who has taken the words of Torah and is living them! 

This gift is when one has used the Torah to perfect oneself. 

One of the reasons that's given as an explanation for why God created the world was "lihayteev Lizulato" to do good to another.  

So  God created an “other”  which is us!.  

"We have a soul. And when the soul perfects any part of the body, what the soul is doing is being Mayteev Lizulato,  doing good to another". 

"That act of doing good to another is called emulating The Creator at the highest level and therefore the act itself draws us closer to  the Almighty."
