Our Parsha tells us the story of our biggest lapse of judgment in our history, a mistake that almost caused G-d to destroy the Jewish nation. A transgression that killed thousands of people and has consequences are felt till this very day, the sin of the Golden Calf.

The story begins when Hashem tells Moshe Rabbienu to come back up the mountain after the giving of the Torah. He was to stay on the mountain for forty days and nights to study the Torah and bring down the Luchos to the Jewish people. However, while he was up there, some people intentionally miscalculated his return date and began to spread the word that Moshe has died. They went to Aaron and Chur, Miriam’s son, demanding that they make an Idol to lead them in Moshe’s stead.
