Ki Tisa: The Shabbos Before I Sin, The Shabbos After I Sin

How did the Jewish people fall from the heights of Sinai to the depths of the Golden Calf so quickly? Rav Shlomo Katz shares a powerful insight from the Beis Avraham regarding the nature of the Erev Rav (Mixed Multitude) and why Moshe Rabbeinu felt compelled to break the Tablets. We discover that there are two types of Shabbat: the "Shabbat of the Soul" (before sin) and the "Shabbat of Action" (after sin). Rav Shlomo explains that Moshe broke the first tablets because they represented a level of perfection that was no longer relevant to a people who needed to know how to do Teshuvah. This shiur is a comforting embrace for anyone who feels they have lost their spiritual level, reminding us that the "Second Tablets" give us the power to find Hashem even in the messiness of a post-sin world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more Shuirim and Music from Rav Shlomo Katz, visit: https://ravshlomokatz.comJoin Rav Shlomo Katz's WhatsApp Community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/KHKOhhPaeHx5Kb74WL9L9a?mode=ems_copy_t
