Was The Cheit Haeigel Actually A Sin?- Rabbi Shalom Rosner

there are many different shots that are offered in terms of what exactly the faith was what exactly was the haiti what did they do wrong was it real avodah zara not real zara rashi shita that it was the ayravrov that was at fault and the other shot them in the rishonim in the acronym the ramban uh very famously says there was not a vodazara the navy swallowed not being over at the time that's why there aren't some most of them were not killed a couple hundred so what exactly was the hate asked the ramban hakas of omer hase didn't think moshe was a god they didn't think that hashem had had abandoned them what exactly was the hate says were nervous they were nervous that they couldn't do it they could nervous that they couldn't continue and they were looking for a substitute motion they were looking for somebody to help lead them it wasn't real about azara says the ramban but this was what they this is what they chose asked the hammock davar esther natsif but based on the rabbi so it wasn't about azara so why were they so nervous hashem did all the neeson for them hashem did kriyas yamsuf maimar all these amazing nissim so why what were they so nervous about why don't they just go to article and is the iron you lead us explains the native they had they didn't recognize how good they were they didn't recognize they didn't have any self-worth they didn't have any self-confidence they thought it was all moshe could lead them and aaron was there for many years aren't gonna leave them they didn't realize their own power says the ramban my aus yatsumi mitzrayim shaina maruyama that's why they were nervous of going out in the first place says that it seemed the root of the hait was they didn't realize their own power they didn't realize how much they had personally and nationally and that was the ultimate hate that they had a lack of self-confidence the first step in any growth in our voters hashem is to recognize who we are and what we have like southern right it writes in sitka sadik there's not just a mitzvah in the believing bar there's a mitzvah in believing in yourself right to believe in ourselves and we have to recognize what we have it's a fascinating hago sashri quotes the iranian there was a there was a jew that bought metal from a non-jew what tin the deal and then he sold it he didn't want it so he sell it to another jew and then after the second jew had it he realized after he scraped off a little bit that it was really silver it wasn't tin so the first jew says well hey you bought silver so pay me for the silver i didn't realize that and they went to bless me mets because the second jew said what do you mean but you thought it was the deal so elizabeth says that the first jew never really had a kenyan on it and he doesn't have to pay for the silver because if you don't know something you don't know what you have you can't be kona it and the bowling mussers say the first step in our being kona rookhnis kona any stage in our vote is hashem is to recognize what we have to recognize who we are we've mentioned in other contexts we say every morning in you what does it mean when i wake up in the morning rabbi muna explain if hashem gave me another day if i woke up in the morning and i'm breathing and i'm alive and i could accomplish it must be that hashem has decided that i have a purpose to fulfill today that i have a topless to to uh accomplish your amuna in me is great and that is one of the shot him that we can learn from the khaita egel bene israel did not recognize their own power their own koak you don't need an ego you don't need a moshe hashem loves you you could do it they didn't realize that so we as part of the teaching have to recognize our power our koa and as ripsadduck says just like there's a mystery to believe there's a mitzvah to believe in ourselves have a great jobs
