The Role of the Children
Our sages said that before G-d gave us the Torah, He demanded guarantors. The Jews made a number of suggestions, all rejected by G-d, until they declared, “Our children will be our guarantors that the Jewish people will cherish and observe the Torah”; G-d
immediately accepted them and agreed to give the Torah. When the Torah is read in the synagogue on Shavout, G-d is actually giving the Torah anew. Therefore, every Jewish man, woman and especially children should make every effort to be present in a synagogue.
