Description

The most fundamental question in the story of the Sin of the Golden Calf is how the Jewish people could have built an idol only 40 days after Matan Torah. We delve into the deeper meaning of Avodah Zarah and how it can sometimes frightening be mistaken for Avodat Hashem. Through examining this story, we come to understand the dangers of Avodah Zarah that still remain in our own lives and how to focus on creating a true relationship with God.
