Ki Tissa – Parsha Analysis of The Golden Calf – If They Fell at Sinai, What About Us?

0:00 / 19:32

Field Notes

Parsha analysis exploring Torah wisdom and what that means. We have already read in the Torah that they saw unbelievable miracles in Egypt. The Torah tells us how they broke into song after walking on dry land when the sea split on either side of them. They heard HaShem speak when they were given the Torah at Sinai. Yet, forty days later they built the Golden Calf.

The question is, how did it happen — and could we be making the same mistake today?
