Description

The parasha opens with Moshe gathering the nation. Why is that necessary specifically now? Maybe a Yerushalmi stating that there were 12 golden calves can help explain. Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky learns an important lesson about unity from this. Delivered to a va'ad of first-year talmidim at Yeshivat Har Etzion.
