p 183. Zeh means 'this', that everything is clear. Through Moshe we know how to distinguish between right and wrong. The sin of the Golden Calf was a repeat of Adam's cheit (sin). Avodah zara (idolatry) is when multiplicity attempts to pose as One. An ish (man) is a person who is consistent throughout the different areas of his life. Worrying about what the non-Jews think about us is a weakness. The Jewish people are the defining people of the world, we are the small key that opens the door to the palace. At Ne'ilah, the end of Yom Kippur, all Jews are just plain and simple Jews.
