Mount Sinai
Moses received tablets
Mount Sinai is the mountain where, in biblical tradition, God delivered the Ten Commandments to Moses.
The exact location is debated, but it's traditionally identified with a peak in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.
The name evokes divine revelation and sacred law: a Mount Sinai moment for the movement.
Mount Sinai is also a major hospital and medical school system in New York.
