The connective tissue

The letter ו vuv

, I recall a teaching that vuv in the torah = "and"

And God said …

That the vuv at the start of mispatiim connects all the laws to Har Sinai

, walla. But would we think all the laws would then need a vuv? No, we do not say this about other pasukiim

And we know the 7 Noahide laws were not given at Sinai

And neither was shabbot! Or the red heifer – which granted is a chokiim

, and the laws of civil damages was given before mattan Torah

, and we have pikey avot telling us to not weigh mivot against each other. To serve Hashem – because

, yet we are not Islam ( literally means slave). We are most often, more often Children.

There is hopefully a different relationship between Father and children and Father and slave.

, and also the Torah teaches us how to treat slaves!

, and … and , and. Ain sof with the Vuv

Connect to the Torah, the connective tissue of God
