Blessed be the Merciful One who gave a triple light (three-fold Torah—Torah, Neviim & Kesuvim) to a three-fold people (Kohen, Levi, & Yisroel) through a third born (Moshe, who came from a family of three as he had a brother and a sister) on the third day (after three days of separation) in the third month (Sivan).
Naaseh before Nishma: Our sages in the Talmud (Shabbos 88a) state: Rabbi Simai taught: When the B’nei Yisroel said ‘Naaseh’ before ‘Nishmah’ 600,000 ministering angels came and tied two crowns to each and every member of the Jewish people, one corresponding to “We will do” and one corresponding to “We will hear” ... Reish Lokish said: In the future, Hakodosh Boruch Hu, will return them to us, as it is stated: “And the ransomed of Hashem shall return, and come with singing unto Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads” Yeshayohu (35:10). The joy that they once had will once again be upon their heads.
Malochei Hashoreis: There are two types of angels – weekday angels and Shabbos angels. The ‘ministering angels’ are the weekday angels of servitude, alternatively, all angels in heaven are ministering angels. Their purpose is to minister in the heavenly spheres. When they are dispatched to earth, they are given a specific mission and title.
These two crowns: which each and every one of Yisroel were given.
Achievement of B’nei Yisroel and the Parable of the Crowns
As is brought down in the Medrash: There is a Moshol whereby the citizens of a country present their King with three crowns which they have made. The King places one crown upon his own head and the other two crowns he places upon the heads of his sons. In the analogue, the citizens who make the crowns are the Malochim together with the B’nei Yisroel. As we say in Kedusha; Kesser Yitnu .... Malochim ... Ve’Amecho Yisroel “A crown is given to you Hashem our G-d by the Malochim ... and by your people Yisroel ... From this it is understood that the actual making of the crowns themselves is the achievement of the Avodah of the B’nei Yisroel.
Achievement of B’nei Yisroel: and therefore, not bread of shame.
There is a Moshol: In the Medrash Vayikra Rabah (24:8) the full script is as follows: R. Abin said two things. R. Abin said: It’s like a king who had a wine cellar, for which he hired guards. Some of the guards were drunks and others were abstinents. At the end of the day, he came to pay their wages, and he gave two portions to the drunkards and to the abstinents one. They said to him: Our master, the king! Did we not all guard as one?! Why do you give these ones two portions, but us one!? The king said back: But these are drunkards, and their nature (derech) is to drink wine. That’s why I gave them two, and to you one. So too with the Upper Beings, in which the Evil Inclination holds no power, there is one Kedusha (holiness). As it says (Dan 4:14), “and by the decree of holy ones (i.e. angels) was it demanded”. But the Lower Ones, in which the Evil Inclination holds power, hopefully with two Kedusha’s they’ll be able to survive! As it is written, “speak to the entire company of the Children of Israel and say to them, Be Holy” Vayikra (19:2), but also, “Sanctify yourselves and become holy!” Lev (20:7). R. Abin also said: It’s like citizens who made three crowns for their king. What did the king do? Put one on his head, and two on the heads of his sons. So too, each and every day, the Upper Ones crown the Holy One with three “Kedushas”. And what does the Holy One do? He places one on his head and two upon the heads of Yisroel. As it says, “...and say to them, Be Holy”, and also, “Sanctify yourselves and become holy!”
