In this week’s Torah portion Ki Tisa Moses comes down from Mt Sinai with the tablets of the law and sees the Israelites dancing around the Golden Calf. He of course is furious, admonishes the Israelites and then goes back up the mountain. When he returns, he comes back with more rules for the Israelites to follow. The Israelites are given an opportunity to reaffirm the covenant with God. God provides Moses with laws that will help them keep their conduct acceptable to God. This is the example that the Jewish people have set for the world. Through the rule of law the Jewish people were able to reaffirm their relationship with God and lead a more sacred life.
