	Parashat Yitro: 'Aseret haDibrot - Torah.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In other words, these 'Aseret haDibrot were not committed to graphic representation on the tablets because of their inherent importance, but rather as a testimony to the Revelation which every member of the B'nei Yisra'el had experienced (see the S'forno on 24:12).
		One conclusion we can draw from this is that instead of viewing the 'Aseret haDibrot as categories or an "outline of Torah", we may view them as the FIRST ten statements to be given to the B'nei Yisra'el.
		In summary: We must understand these 'Aseret haDibrot through the eyes and ears of the B'nei Yisra'el at that time; we must understand them as the "opening" of the covenant as opposed to its "outline" and we must integrate both versions in order to comprehend the impact and import of this Revelation.

		G-d speaks the first of the Aseret Hadibrot, or Decalogue (Ten Utterances), and the people are struck with awe.
		The first four of the Aseret Hadibrot all deal with the individual’s relationship with G-d.
		The last of the Aseret Hadibrot is "Thou shalt not covet." This is explained by the rabbis to mean that one should not feel that he or she deserves to have something rather than the one who has it.

		Similarly, the Aseret HaDibrot is comprised of 10 parshiot.
		The first of the Aseret HaDibrot is to recognize with all your heart and mind that Hashem is the one who created the entire universe.
		The first is an add-on to the second of the Aseret Hadibrot: Not only may you not worship any gods in addition to Hashem, but even making images of people, angels, the sun and other potential "ungodly" candidates are forbidden.

		The fifth of the Aseret Hadibrot (Ten Commandments) completes the commandments of the first of the two tablets.
		A parent who asks his/her child to transgress one of Hashem's commandments as a sign of respect is unfairly jeopardizing the spiritual development of their child.
		The Aseret Hadibrot are repeated in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 5:6-19.

		However, there is perhaps another important reason why the Torah begins as it does rather than with a specific mitzvah or with the events of the Exodus from Egypt, the splitting of the sea, or the revelation at Sinai.
		Why did G-d choose to identify Himself in the Aseret HaDibrot as the one who took us out of Egypt, rather than as the one who created the world?
		God has identified himself in both of these ways -- one way in the Aseret HaDibrot and the other way in the rest of the Torah.

		Here Yisrael was, freshly on the east side of Har Sinai, the ink was hardly dry on the Aseret Hadibrot (Ten Commandments), figuratively speaking, and already leaders within the community of bnei Yisrael (children of Israel) were sinning, rebelling against Moshe and Aharon breaking the mitzvot (commandments).
		They may come into your life presenting themselves as a respectable productive fruit tree, but sometimes when their season approaches you discover that there is no fruit, or the fruit they produce is bad, they are a bad tree.
		The first four mitzvot teach us about man's relationship to G-d and the last six mitzvot teach us about man's relationship to his fellow man. The sum of the Aseret Hadibrot are but a summary of all the mitzvot of Torah.

		The poem describes the words of the author as he "debated" the truths of Judaism to a hostile audience and is disguised in Aramaic.
		The practice is to chant Akdamut with its unique melody, at the beginning of the Torah reading on Shavuot, which includes the "Aseret HaDibrot," the Ten Commandments.

		The basics of belief in Gd are set down for the people in the form of the Aseret HaDibrot and the first portion of the Sh'ma.
		The straightforward understanding of that statement is that the sayings are from the opening chapter of B'reishit, "And Gd said..." (actually, there are 9 of those phrases, and "In the beginning..." is considered the first of the 10 sayings).
		This week, I wish to analyze one of the most famous and widelydiscussed repetitions of Sefer Devarim, the "aseret hadibrot" (the ten commandments).

		Sets of three pop up repeatedly in Jewish life: three sons of Noah, three patriarchs, three men/angels that appear to Abraham, three daily sacrifices in the Temple, three judges on a beit din (rabbinic court).
		There are the 10 commandments (aseret hadibrot--literally, "the 10 utterances") that God emphasizes at Mount Sinai, the 10 brothers of Joseph who sold him into slavery, the 10 rabbinic martyrs remembered on Yom Kippur (in the prayer Eileh Ezkerah), and the 10 days of repentance (from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur).
		The repetition of numerical patterns is often taken for granted; on a deeper level, however, numerical motifs give us a sense that God has a plan, a set of blueprints that bring meaning to earthly existence.

		On the first day of Shavuot, after the Kohain has been called to the Torah, but before he recites his blessing, Akdamut is read responsively, the chazzan saying two verses, and the congregation saying the next two.

	Aseret haDibrot: The "Ten Commandments"
		In the Torah, these words are never referred to as the Ten Commandments.
		In rabbinical texts, they are referred to as Aseret haDibrot.
		The Aseret haDibrot are not individual mitzvot; rather, they are categories or classifications of mitzvot.

		To wit, the ten declarations (aseret hadibrot) is often split vertically.
		Kli Yakar (Rabbi Ephraim Luntshitz), makes this point by insisting that the aseret hadibrot be split horizontally rather than vertically.
		For example, "Thou shalt not murder" is opposite belief in G-d, as murdering the other means that the image of G-d as manifested in the victim has been obliterated.

		I seem to recall that among the spate of pop-psychology books that appeared in the last decade or two was one called "Life's Little Instruction Book." Well, I submit that this book had already been written thousands of years before - in Parashat Kedoshim.
		Some might point to the Aseret Hadibrot as the basis of life's instructions, but there is one striking difference that prompts me to suggest that we might do better to look to Kedoshim.
		The Ten Commandments are perhaps the equivalent to a bulleted executive summary.

		Shavuot is referred to in our liturgy as Zeman Matan Torateinu, the time in ancient days when the Torah was given to the people of Israel.
		What was really communicated to them was the Aseret Hadibrot, the Ten Declarations.
		It is interesting to note that the Aseret Hadibrot can be read according to Ta'am Elyon, in which the cantillations divide the Aseret Hadibrot into ten sentences, corresponding to God's Ten Declarations.

		Therefore, they do not put up mezuzot, although many Karaites do have a small plaque with the Aseret haDibrot on their doorposts.
		In Israel, in an effort to make Rabbanites comfortable, many Karaites there also put up mezuzot.

		In fact, however, the word "anochi" appears twice in the Ten Commandments, and only one of them is necessary to provide the allusions found by the gemara.
		The other one could have been shortened to allow "elokecha" to become "elokechem" and still left the Aseret Hadibrot with 613 letters.
		Since Hashem did not do this and instead said "anochi" twice, Moshe can say that Bnei Yisrael did not sin and they can be consoled from their punishments.

	Re: Aaron and the 10 Commandments
		BTW: "The Ten Commandments" is the title of a movie, but the portion of the Bible in question is refered to as "Aseret HaDibrot" (The Ten Utterances) in the Bible.
		What most people call the Ten Commandments is also (and more accurately refered) to as "the Ten Utterences." This is because HaShem (G-d) spoke them out loud for all the people to hear, ans because that is what the Bible calles them (Aseret HaDibrot).
		First, accordin to Jesus, you cannot obey any commandment unless you do it out of Love for the L-rd. They do not provide salvation; that is through G-d's forgiveness and though the individual's acceptance of Messiah.

		I have avoided translating 'Aseret HaDibrot' as the 'Ten Commandments' and have instead employed the 'Ten Utterances,' which is more accurate linguistically as well as thematically.
		The Torah nowhere refers to these ten things as 'Aseret HaMitzvot.' Jewish tradition early on recognized the danger of employing the term 'Ten Commandments' to describe these principles, since this has the inevitable effect of de-emphasizing the significance of the other mitzvot.
		See the Talmud in Tractate Berakhot that discusses the decision to exclude the recitation of the 'Aseret HaDibrot' from the daily liturgy, for similar reasons.

	Mekor Chaim: Parashat Yitro (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In Parashat Yitro, we naturally focus on the only time the Torah says that God spoke to an entire people.
		The Aseret HaDibrot, the Ten Statements (not the "Ten Commandments"; there are actually 13 or 14 commands in this passage), certainly are a highlight.
		However, the chapter before God's proclamation should be of greater interest.

	Parshat Mishpatim 5765 - Feature Tidbit - OU.ORG
		One simple idea is that it becomes clear that all the laws and details of Mishpatim can be seen as part of Revelation at Sinai.
		This idea is supported by the VAV of V'EILEH HAMISHPATIM, upon which Rashi comments that it comes to state: Just as the mitzvot of the Aseret HaDibrot were given at Sinai, so too were all of the mitzvot of Mishpatim.
		Among other things, a very significant message from this second account of Matan Torah at the end of Mishpatim is to connect the Aseret HaDibrot with the rest of Torah and Mitzvot, and to connect the experience of Revelation at Sinai with the 40 days/nights that followed.

		If Hashem had written the Aseret Hadibrot, the Ten Commandments, in ink then would the word “Al,” “on,” be appropriate.
		The letters Mem and Samech floated in the air and the Aseret Hadibrot could be read from either side of the Luchot.

		In this coming week's parasha, parashat Yitro, in Exodus 20, we encounter the Aseret Ha'dibrot, the Ten Commandments.
		The Aseret Ha'dibrot, the Decalogue, the ten statements, as they are properly called, are surely among the most important statements given to humankind.
		Being that these ten statements (or part of them) were the only words of the Torah that were actually spoken by G-d Himself to the People of Israel, they are properly regarded as a foremost element in Judaism.
