Lesson Description

The story of Ki Tisa discusses the Mixed Multitude (Erev Rav) and the creation of the Golden Calf. Eitan explores how the energy of the Mixed Multitude within each of us that stalls and halts any continuity of blessings in our life. Our willingness to engage in friendship with people who share a common vision of true love and human dignity is the only way to restore these blessings. True love asks us to go beyond our selfish desires and acknowledge the Light in others.
