Tehillim 44 - Unbroken Chain
For August 5th 2022
Verse 2:
G-d, we heard with our own ears; our fathers told us what they heard from their fathers. They told us of all the miraculous deeds You did in their days, in days of old, when they entered the Land of Israel for the first time.
The history was passed down from father to son, mother to daughter. Not only the history of the miracles and the conquest of the land, but also the receiving of the Torah.
The testimony of a group of millions of people makes it impossible to deny the event at Mount Sinai.
Everyone was witness to the fact that it was ultimately Moses who was allowed to receive the written and oral Torah. He passed it on to Joshua, who passed it on to the elders of the people. Then it was passed on to the Prophets, then to
the Men of the Great Assembly: for example prophets like Daniel, Malachi.
the Tannaim: for instance Rabbi Yehuda the Prince
the Gaonim: for example Rabbi Chanan of Ashkaya,
the Rishonim, for example Rabbi Moses ben Maimon.
the Acharonim: for example Rabbi Yosef Caro - writer of the Aruch Shulchan (the Code of Jewish Law)
the Orthodox Rabbis of today, like in my eyes, Rabbi Moshe Weiner.
They are our unbroken chain, Mesorah, after the Torah given at Sinai.
