Why was the Torah given to human beings and not to angels?

On Shavuot, we celebrate the giving of the Torah — but the Talmud tells us that the angels objected. They wanted the Torah to remain in Heaven, in its pure spiritual state.In this class, Rabbi Amichai Cohen explores the deeper meaning of Moshe’s response to the angels and why the Torah was given specifically to human beings.Angels are holy, but they do not struggle in the same way we do. They do not live with ego, desire, relationships, pain, free choice, or the constant possibility of falling and rising. Human beings, however, can choose. We can transform. We can take the physical world itself and reveal G-dliness within it.This is the deeper gift of Shavuot: Torah comes down into the body, into our emotions, into our relationships, into our homes, and into the choices we make every day.A teaching on free choice, inner transformation, the angels, the two loaves of Shavuot, and the unique holiness of being human.May we receive the Torah anew with joy, depth, and inner transformation.Learn more:www.livekabbalah.com
