What changed in God's relationship with Israel after the Golden Calf violated the original Sinai covenant? The shiur distinguishes two paradigms: the original King-subject relationship based on merit versus the deeper Father-child bond based on inherent love revealed through the Thirteen Attributes. Michah's version describes the divine character traits that generate mercy, while Exodus describes how we receive that mercy.
Listen nowWhy must resembling God in form require resembling Him in deeds, and why only for Jews? The shiur distinguishes between tzelem Elokim (divine imitation from physical matter) and d'mut Elokim (containing actual divine essence). Jews possess divine sparks that enable true character transformation, not just behavioral compliance.
Why does God give us the very power we use to sin against Him? The Tomer Devorah's insight reveals that God could prevent sin by making it physically impossible, but this higher kindness allows us to maintain our sense of personal power and choose limitation through understanding rather than coercion. This explains why even prophets can sin immediately after divine encounters.
