Parashat Ki Tisa 5784 : Why Did Moses Break the Tablets?

The grievous sin of the Golden Calf is one of the most perplexing sections of the Torah. Within this puzzle, another question remains: Why did Moses break the Tablets of the Law? The mystery of the broken tablets reveals a great gift that Moses bequeathed us…the secret of recovery and renewal.

The Torah portion of Ki Tisa (Exodus 30 : 11 - 34 : 35) is read on Shabbat, 22 Adar I, 5784 - March 2, 2024

It is amazing that they were on a spiritual par with Adam and Chava before they ate the fruit in Gan Eden. Hashem made this happen so that they could do the Tikkun Olam with the advantage of Teshuvah. Excellent shiur. Thank you, Rabbi Richman, and Baruch Hashem from NC, USA.
