Parashat Yitro 5773
I’m trying to understand what Moshe said to God just before the giving of the Torah.
Look at these verses (Judaica Press translation):
Har Sinai
Parashat Yitro Puzzle
Parashat Yitro 5773
Since this week’s parasha recounts the giving on the Torah on Har Sinai, here’s a word search puzzle on that theme.
Building the Tabernacle – Part 2
Parashat VaYakhel – Pekudei 5772
Our tradition tells us that God forgave the Jewish people for the sin of the Golden Calf on Yom Kippur.
Moshe gathered the people and told them about the Divine command to build the Tabernacle (Mishkan).
3 Lessons After the Golden Calf
Parashat Ki Tisa 5772
After the sin of the Golden Calf, God told Moshe that he was going to destroy the Jewish people.
After Moshe destroyed the Golden Calf he then went back up to Har Sinai to plead for the people (Shemot 32:30-32).
Moshe pleaded with HaShem that the Divine Presence would remain with them. Here is part of that exchange (translation from Judaica Press):
After the Golden Calf
Parashat Ki Tisa 5772
If it’s possible for a whole nation to have a bad hair day, then the Jewish people had one.
The people were confused about when Moshe would return from Har Sinai. They got anxious and urged Aharon to make a visual representation of God (Shemot 32: 1-6).
This is the event that is called Cheit HaEigal or the Golden Calf.
