#Parashat Ki Tisa

SEE FOR YOURSELF

In this week’s Torah portion, God speaks to Moses on Mt. Sinai and gives him two stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. This holy event is followed by a shocking tragedy: God tells Moses that down below, the Israelites are worshipping a calf made of gold.

Moses descends the mountain and when he sees the people dancing around their golden idol, he smashes the tablets in fury. But why doesn't he smash them as soon as he hears what is going on? Moses only gets angry when he personally witnesses the misbehavior. Does he not believe what God tells him? 

The Midrash explains that Moses wanted to teach the Israelites proper behavior. We should not give credence to a negative report about someone. As it is written, “Even if one hears something critical from a trustworthy person, one is not permitted to accept his word and take action on it if he does not see it himself." (Shemos Rabbah 46:1)

Moses modeled giving others the benefit of the doubt. Imagine how different the world would be if we all gave each other the benefit of the doubt!

Like Moses, may we always see the best in others, even when it's difficult!

Leonard Cohen's "Anthem" is what this week's parshah, Parashat Ki Tisa, means to me.

The broken pieces are how the light gets in.

The broken tablets are every bit as holy as the tablets that are whole. Because in those moments of brokenness, there is a hidden spark of renewal, of starting again.

"There is a crack, a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."

Without the brokenness, we wouldn't be able to experience the divine spark that lights us all.

Shabbat Shalom

May we have a safe Shabbat.  May our soldiers be successful  and return home safely.  And may our hostages be returned safe, healthy and whole.  And may Hashem avenge the blood of our martyrs.

This week’s Torah portion (Parashat Ki Tisa) kinda reminds me of times where I begged Hashem to take away an illness from someone or to allow them to live.  When Moses is begging G-d to reconsider punishing the Israelites...I feel I relate to that.  I often want to argue with Hashem in favor of others who are suffering.  I like the fact that “wrestling” with G-d is not only okay, it’s common place in Judaism.  There does not seem to be an assumption of “well, that’s what G-d wants.  We can’t argue with Them on this”.

     This week’s Torah portion, Parashat Ki Tisa, is the 21st sedra (portion) in the annual cycle, and the 9th in the book of Sh’mot/Exodus.         This week, some will read about mandatory donations, the Egel Zahav (golden calf), and new tablets, and others will hear part of that reading, but no doubt discuss all of it.  My question is how we can use the lessons from this week’s parashah to…

Parashat Ki Tisa

(When You Elevate)

In this Torah portion, Moses stays with God on Mount Sinai for 40 days and 40 nights. There, he is given the 10 Commandments on stone tablets. Fearing Moses will never return, the Israelites turn to Aaron, who demands that everyone bring him their gold, so he can make a golden calf. When Moses comes down the mountain and sees the people dancing around this idol, he smashes the tablets on the ground. God punishes with a plague all the Israelites who were involved. Moses builds a tent to be his meeting place with God.

Elli Schwarcz – Where is Moshe Rabbeinu? Parashat Tetzaveh 5782

Moshe Rabbeinu’s name is absent from this week’s Torah reading.   Ba’al Haturim points out that this is the only Parashah since the recording of Moshe’s birth in Egypt (in Parashat Shemot) in which Moshe’s name does not appear.* Why, in fact, is Moshe not mentioned? Ba’al Haturim, answers by citing Moshe’s prayer in Parashat Ki Tisa:   ???????? ??? ???????? ????????? ????? ????? ??????? ???…

בס”ד כי תשא Parshas כי תשא has many hints to the י”ט of Purim. In פסוק ל:כג, one of the main spices of the שמן המשחה is mentioned- בשמים ראש מר דרור, where Unkeles translates as מירה דכיא, which more or less make up the name מרדכי. In pasuk כט, describing this שמן המשחה, Rashi uses the words כי כן יסד המלך, a phrase from מגילת אסתר. In פסוק לד:כט it is the only time in חומש that anyone is…
