When Moses saw the people worshipping the Golden Calf, he shattered the Tablets of the Ten Commandments. Far from being an angry reaction, there is something far deeper at work here -- Moses set into motion a process that was to forever change our lives and our relationship with God, and herein lies the profound difference between the first and second set of tablets. And in Divine synchronicity, this Torah portion conveys a stirring message for the holiday of Purim that we shall be celebrating this week. Jerusalem Lights wishes everyone a joyous Purim!
