About this listen
Why did Hashem give the Torah to humans and not angels?
Rav Shlomo Katz shares a mystical insight from Rav Tzadok HaKohen of Lublin (from his work Divrei Chalomot). We learn that angels are "standing" beings who cannot grow because they lack the experience of death and void. Humans, who experience mortality ("Adam Ki Yamut"), are the only ones capable of truly experiencing "Life." Rav Shlomo explains the difference between Chochma (intellectual wisdom) and Bina (understanding of the heart). Angels have intellect, but only humans can bring that wisdom into the "blood and guts" of the heart.
This shiur reframes our struggles and mortality not as defects, but as the very vessels that allow us to hold the Torah.
