# 5917 – The Day of Accepting the Torah? Really?
Question
- See question above.
Q. Thank you Kvod Horav for the above answers. It was mentioned in the shiur that this is the true day of the receiving of the Torah, is that correct?
Answer
As we already also wrote, it is on this day that Moshe Rabbeinu told the Jewish people that they are to be a “Nation of Priests” and a “Holy Nation” (Exodus 19:6 with Rashi) The Jewish people responded with the celebrated cry “Na’aseh V’nishma” - “Everything that God has commanded we will do!” (Exodus 19:8). This indeed makes Yom Hameyuchas a very special day in our history and Torah traditions.
