Rabbi Weissman: How to get people to worship a golden calf

 

In last night's Torah class we discussed practical lessons we can glean from the episode of the golden calf and related teachings from Chazal. 


The recording is available at https://rumble.com/v2c9uk6-r-and-b-torah-fellowship-49-how-to-get-people-to-worship-a-golden-calf.html


Topics included:


Who was behind it?

How did they get the Jews to go along with it?

How does it compare to what our enemies are doing today?

What aspect of the sin was the worst of all (at least according to Seforno)?

Why are we still getting punished for the sin of the golden calf?


I referenced two previous articles:

The Longest Word in Tanach and Other Goodies

Lessons From the Golden Calf


Chazal teach that every time the Jewish people get punished, we get a little extra to pay back for the golden calf. If we apply the lessons from this class, hopefully we can get the remaining debt canceled.
