After the Exodus from Egypt and witnessing the greatest divine revelation in the history of mankind, the newly born Nation of Israel went and built the Golden Calf. Today we struggle to understand how such a thing could happened. Right now as much of the world is pressuring us to divide our land in a “2 State Solution” and establish a terror state in our midst. We must resist the urge to point fingers in blame and rather take a hard look in the mirror and ask if we, too, are guilty of building our own Golden Calf. Has the modern state of Israel has fallen victim to this same impulse.
