okay so this is a class number five of what happened at sinai and as we've learned a lot happened and there's a lot to talk about there's the shot there's the simple level the simple understanding and there's deeper understandings there's mystical understandings um and it's it's fascinating and important to try to explore it as much as we can we started to touch we can we started to touch last week on the ten commandments but i think i'm going to push off for one more week till we really dive into that topic because it's going to be its own own sort of section of the course where we'll just talk a lot about the individual commandments not so much anymore about what happened in the events at sinai but more about what was said and what the ten commandments are and what they represent and all of that but we're gonna push that off for one more week i think tonight i want to take us back to something that we something that we saw the first week and i'll bring it up on my screen and that is the comment of ramban of nachmanidis on the verse that really started all off for us because the verse says in deuteronomy and devarim it says beware and watch yourself very well lest you forget the things that your eyes saw unless these things depart from your heart all the days of your life you shall make them known to your
