Rabbi Chaim Richman

When Moses saw the people worshipping the Golden Calf, he shattered the Tablets of the Ten Commandments. Far from being an angry reaction, there is something far deeper at work here -- Moses set into motion a process that was to forever change our lives and our relationship with God, and herein lies the profound difference between the first and second set of tablets. And in Divine synchronicity, this Torah portion conveys a stirring message for the holiday of Purim that we shall be celebrating this week. Jerusalem Lights wishes everyone a joyous Purim!

The Torah portion of Ki Tisa (Exodus 30 : 11 - 34 : 35) is read on Shabbat, 15 Adar 5785 - Shushan Purim - March 15, 2025

Purim is observed in most of the world starting Thursday evening March 13 - Friday March 14 (14 Adar)

How can the same person who helped create the golden calf also be the one to bless us with peace from G-d? Is true peace only about avoiding conflict, or something far deeper?

Rabbi YY Jacobson

The Beauty of the Golden Calf: When G-d "Learnt" Not to Take His People for Granted
For Source Sheets: https://www.theyeshiva.net/jewish/9243

This Women's class was presented on Tuesday, Parshas Ki Sisa, 18 Adar I, 5784, February 27, 2024, at Bais Medrash Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.

In the conversation between Hashem and Moshe after the sin of the Golden Calf, G-d says something shocking: “On the day I make an accounting, I will bring their sin to account against them.”

G-d, it seems, is telling Moses He will never forget this sin. And whenever He is going to make an accounting, this sin will be included in the “package.”

This is deeply enigmatic. It is one of the foundations of Judaism that Teshuvah, repentance, atones for all sins and wipes them away completely. Every Yom Kippur, we declare that Hashem “removes our sins every year again.” No matter how many times we commit a sin, if we repent, we are forgiven. Teshuvah removes all guilt. It’s over. Yet here we are told that G-d will never let go of this transgression?

The most marvelous answer was presented by the famed Chassidic master and one of the greatest lovers of Israel, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchov (1740-1809). In a daring interpretation, classic to the Chassidic approach toward Judaism, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak becomes the great “advocate” for the Jewish people, as he always was.

The class explores two models of education, one based on outer behavior and control, and the other one on connection and trust, and developing an internal relationship which allows a child to feel understood and empowered. We focus on the need to appreciate our successes, not only our failures.
