KI TISAExodus 30:11-34:35

The people of Israel are told to each contribute exactly

half a shekel of silver to the Sanctuary. Instructions are also

given regarding the making of the Sanctuary’s water basin,

anointing oil and incense. “Wise-hearted” artisans Betzalel

and Aholiav are placed in charge of the Sanctuary’s con-

struction, and the people are once again commanded to

keep the Shabbat.

When Moses does not return when expected from Mount

Sinai, the people make a golden calf and worship it. G-d

proposes to destroy the errant nation, but Moses intercedes

on their behalf. Moses descends from the mountain carrying

the tablets of the testimony engraved with the Ten Com-

mandments; seeing the people dancing about their idol,

he breaks the tablets, destroys the golden calf, and has the

primary culprits put to death. He then returns to G-d to say:

“If You do not forgive them, blot me out from the book that

You have written.”

G-d forgives, but says that the effect of their sin will be felt

for many generations. At first G-d proposes to send His angel

along with them, but Moses insists that G-d Himself accom-

pany His people to the promised land.

Moses prepares a new set of tablets and once more

ascends the mountain, where G-d reinscribes the covenant

on these second tablets. On the mountain, Moses is also

granted a vision of the divine thirteen attributes of mercy. So

radiant is Moses’ face upon his return, that he must cover it

with a veil, which he removes only to speak with G-d and to

teach His laws to the people.

May the Holy One, Blessed is He, be filled with compassion

plete recovery from heaven, a recovery of the body and a

recovery of the spirit, swiftly and soon. Amen.
