The Power of Humility

Mount Sinai was very humble. Unlike the other mountains who boasted about their great qualities, Mount Sinai said that it is not so high and didn’t expect the Torah to be given on it. And specifically because of its humility, it was chosen as the mountain for the Torah to be given on! Moshe learned from Sinai to be humble, looking up to every person. Because of his humility he was able to be a true receiver of the Torah and to connect G-d with the Jewish People. We each have a Moshe within us, and we can learn from him to be humble, receive the Torah and unite with G-d!
