"These commandments, which seem so simplistic to the non-Hebrew reader, are in fact an intellectual challenge. In the original Hebrew text, no one really knows which verses are the Ten Commandments, or which of its different versions (as read in Exodus and Deuteronomy) is THE version.
"Maybe we're better off that way. God gave us laws, but we, His partners, must breathe life into these laws. Shavuot teaches us to be responsible not only for observing the law, but also for interpreting the law and making it relevant."
