And in this way through studying all these holy works may we come to fulfil the promise: מְהֵּרָּׁה הַ׳ אֱלֹקֵּינוּ יִשָּׁמַע בְעָּׁרֵּי יְהוּדָּׁה “Speedily Hashem our G-d may it be heard in the cities of Yehudah”... the sounds of the five voices attributed to the joy of a Chosson and Kallah which parallel the five voices with which the Torah was given.
Our sages of blessed memory state in the Talmud Brochos: (6:2) “Rabbi Chelbo said that Rav Huna said: Anyone who benefits from the feast of a groom but does not cause him to rejoice violates the five voices mentioned in this verse, as it is stated: (Yirmiyohu 33:11) קוֹל שָׂשוֹן וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה קוֹל חָתָן וְקוֹל כַלָּה קוֹל אֹמְרִים הוֹדוּ אֶת ה׳ צְבָאוֹת כִּי טוֹב ה׳ כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ מְבִיאִים תּוֹדָה בֵּית ה׳ כִּי אָשִׁיב אֶת שְבוּת הָאָרֶץ כְּבָרִאשֹנָה אָמַר ה׳ “The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, and the voice of those who say: Give thanks to HaShem the Lord of hosts, for HaShem is good, for His mercy lasts forever, even of those who bring a thanks-offering to the house of HaShem. For I will restore the captivity of the land as it was in the beginning, says HaShem”. These five voices in the context of a bride and groom correspond to the five voices mentioned in the context of the revelation at Sinai, as in Song of Songs, the day of the revelation at Sinai is alluded to by the phrase: ‘His wedding day’ (Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, Maharsha). What is his reward if he causes the groom to rejoice? He is privileged to acquire the Torah, which was given with five voices, as it is stated (Shemos 19:16) וַיְהִי בַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִי בִּהְיוֹת הַבֹּקֶר וַיְהִי קֹלֹת וּבְרָקִים וְעָנָן כָּבֵד עַל הָהָר וְקוֹל שֹפָר וְגוֹ׳ וַיְהִי קוֹל הַשּׁוֹפָר וְגוֹ׳ וְהָאֱלֹקִים יַעֲנֶנּוּ בְקוֹל׃ “And it was on the third day, when it was morning, there were sounds [Kolos], and lightning and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and the voice [Kol], of the shofar. The plural ‘Kolos’ indicates at least two sounds, while ‘Kol’ “the voice of the shofar” is one more. The passage continues: “And when the voice [Kol] of the shofar grew louder and louder, Moshe spoke and Hashem answered him by a voice [Kol]” (Shemos 19:19). Along with the three previous voices, the second shofar and the voice with which Hashem answered Moshe amount to a total of five voices at the revelation at Sinai.
