The Jewish view on egalitarianism (IDOLITRY)

the moment we serve things we start inventing our own Judaism and it becomes very dangerous if you take a look at the this week's Torah portion we read about the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai a quite dramatic Event Event a quite inspirational event and then what happened several weeks later the golden calf and what's Moses's reaction to the golden calf he breaks the tablets and commentaries wonder why he breaks the tablet since there's there's reasons there's explanations there's significance and there's a good reason why he broke those tablets but why do you have to break them why couldn't he hide them put them away so one explanation is he saw that the Jews were serving things and serving a calf is just as bad as serving tablets you're not serving God he broke the tablets because we're not slaves to the Commandments we're slaves or servants to the commander this is this is essentially this is the most important message of the second paragraph of the Shema or committing to Commandments but we've first committed to God we first committed to the commander you know what it's like it's like planning a huge anniversary celebration but you totally forgot about your spouse he totally forgot to invite them tell them about it you didn't take them into account you got so excited about the party you're making for them you forgot about them right we get so excited about the culture and observance of Judaism we forget about the commander and it's like it's totally missing the point the the whole I I I'm opening this can of worms I'm doing it this whole legal Terry is egalitarianism movement of why can't Judaism be like this and Judaism is not Mr Potato Head we're not serving and creating Judaism there's a God and God wants something different from everybody and this is the God we're going to serve and this is how we're going to serve him if you look in the beta miktas the service in the temple foreign day you had a service called the news which means the wine libations Post Service post um after after the korba notes after the sacrifices they would pour wine on the altar there's actually a special drain on the altar where it would go and what that represents wine represents a flavor there's a flavor to Judaism you should experience the flavors of Judaism it should feel good but before you pour the wine before you experience the flavor of Judaism you got it for sprinkle the blood on the altar you got to First Focus your passion blood is Passion It's Your vitality first Focus Your vitality toward God then you could experience the beauty but if our Focus if we're worshiping the beauty of Judaism and not it's God would miss the point
