A nuclear bomb detonates in this week's Parsha. The Nation selected by God to fulfill the most consequential role in the world, the Nation recently released from bondage with miracle signs and wonders, the Nation being fed a steady diet of manna and water from a rock, the Nation only 40 days after experiencing national revelation at Sinai, committed a grievous, inexplicable sin. The Nation made the Golden Calf. It's really hard to understand how such a glorious people committed such an inglorious deed, but as always, there are lessons for us. In this interesting and upbeat Parsha podcast, we learned a lesson from this catastrophic, cataclysmic debacle that can enhance our understanding of many portions in the Torah and give us a road map for how to achieve greatness for ourselves and for the world.
