EXOD309 The Midrash Mechilta Yitro 9 tells us that before God could give the Torah at Mount Sinai, He first healed all the physically and mentally disabled. Therefore, in order for the people to unite and receive the Torah, (see Rashi commentary on this verse explaining the sudden shift in the verse from plural to singular) the entire community, including the developmentally disabled, had to be included in receiving the Torah. Excluding them would have excluded the Divine Image and prevented the Torah from being given. Therefore, based on the past Sinai experience, we can infer that only when the entire Jewish community unites once again and is sensitive to the needs of all its segments will the Jewish people be merited once again with the Divine Image and messianic times.
