−	When the Jews camped at Har Sinai, it was as one man with one heart. Torah is a way for Hashem to channel Divine Light upon the Jews, however proper vessels are need to receive it properly. In accordance with the level of the particular Torah and Light being given, so too is strength of the vessels necessary to contain it. On higher levels of Torah, the vessels required are more then what any individual can offer and can only be produced through a group effort, where multiple Jewish souls are united together to create the necessary vessels. Such unification can only be attained when the members of the group are at complete peace and love each other with a full heart. For a revelation as profound as the Giving of the Torah, it was necessary for a unification of 600,000 Jewish men to produce the vessels that could contain such Light.<ref>Based on Likutay Halachos, Tfilas Mincha 7:54</ref>	+	When the Jews camped at Har Sinai, it was as one man with one heart.<ref>Rashi Shemos 19/02</ref> Torah is a way for Hashem to channel Divine Light upon the Jews, however proper vessels are need to receive it properly.
