A Vort From the Rebbe Parshas Ekev, Rabbi Leibel Schapiro - 5786

A from the Reb and this week's paras in Parenu repeats what happened when they made the Ael when the Eden did the sin of the golden calf and as a result Mishenu broke the he came down from Harai with the in his hands and when he saw the he threw it down and broke it and the expression that uses is said I grabbed onto the and I threw him down from my both hands and I broke him in front of your eyes and the masked what does it mean that he grabbed onto the he came down from holding the so he had him in his hands already what does it mean I grabbed onto the tas and I threw him down what does that mean he grabbed sobb says thehat is like this were given to meu so rabenu's personal property. It says gave it to him. Nevertheless, had on mind to give it away to the Eden like he did everything else and he was generous and he gave it. He was planning to give the to the Eden. So as much as it was his personally, he already planned to give it. Now planning to give it to the Eden already to a certain degree made that the Eden have a certain ownership over the so decided to break the lus after he saw the eagle. He had a question in his mind. Is he allowed to do it since it partially belongs to the Eden? So, is he allowed to break it? Is he allowed to steal it from the other people who it belongs to to a certain degree? Can he damage it? It's not 100% his to do it. So, wanted to do something to make the idea he had to give it to the Eden make it void to nullify that idea. So that's what makes said I grabbed on to it. I made sure to hold it and make it back mine to take away to be the idea I had to give it to them. So it has no ownership of the Eden and therefore it's completely mine and if it's mine I have a right to do with it what I want. And that's why Mishenu said I grabbed onto it to make it completely mine. So I had a right to break it and there's no shila of stealing of damaging someone else's thing. But then the Reb says there's a deeper union here grabbing on to it and making it completely his. What he was doing is he wanted to make that he is the only one to blame for breaking the he it's his thing. It's he it's his mus and he is the one that broke his thing and there's nobody else to blame. Which fits to what the say brings in that when said I am Hashem your god in the singular term he spoke to all the so many people he should have said why did they say your god so says so did it so should have a pee which means later on when the Eden would worship an idol the ail meenu could Tellisha don't be so upset when you said I am your god you said it to me you said it singular you were talking to me not to them so don't blame them so made it thatu should be able to take away the blame from the sin of the Eden so the same thing here also loved the Eden so much so he didn't want that breaking the should be in such a way that it's for the negative to be negative think concerning the Eden so he cracked down to the lus made sure that it's completely his. So it's he he is the only one that's responsible and to blame for breaking the which shows the great of meu for the Eden meenu had no connection to you couldn't even blame him for not protesting it because it wasn't even there it was on the mountain nevertheless not only did he beg to forgive them and he went for it he said to if you don't forgive him erase me from the was ready that his name should go out of the to save the Eden to to be and not only did he break the lus and that protected like Rasha says how breaking has made it that Eden should not be hurt he did more than that he grabbed onto the lus made sure that that's completely his so the Eden have nothing to do with the breaking of it's completely his blame all to take away the blame from the Eden and this shows the great of to the Eden he loved the Eden so that he was even ready to do everything possible that the Eden should not be blamed for anything negative including the sin of breaking the
