Join us for our Erev Shabbat service We will be going through the weekly teachings from Monte Judah. Ki Tisa, or "when you elevate," is the Torah portion where we find the sin of the golden calf. Moses has not returned when the people expected him to, and so they become frightened and demand the building of a golden calf to worship. Upon seeing this, God decides to destroy the people of Israel, but Moses intervenes on their behalf. Afterwards, Moses descends from the mountain with the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone. When he sees the people dancing and worshipping the golden calf, he breaks the tablets, destroys the idol, and puts the main perpetrators to death. Moses returns to God and asks for the people's forgiveness, which He gives but tells Moses that the effect of their sin will be felt for many generations. Moses pleads with God to accompany the people Himself to the Promised Land. God then gives the Ten Commandments again on another set of tablets and also grants Moses a vision of the divine thirteen attributes of mercy. When Moses returns to the people, his face is so radiant that he must cover it with a veil, which he removes only when speaking to God or teaching the Commandments to the people.

Scripture Readings from: Exodus 30:11–34:35, I Kings 18:1–39, I Corinthians 8:4–13
