Reply To: What exactly did we get on Shavuos?

As several posters have said, on Shavuos we received the VERBAL aseres hadibros!

This is the point I was trying to bring out. Many people do not realize that this was all that what was received on shavuos. But there was no luchos sitting on the top of har sinai on shavuos as many pictures erroneously show.

Another mistake is the school pictures of har sinai with a fence around it. There was no physical barrier around the mountain.

shavous and matan torah have

nothing to do with each other

Well it is called zman matan torahseinu by chazal!
