Today for our daily Elul thought we look at Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 – 34:35 – a lot happens here, not least of which is the Golden Calf incident.
I just had a random reason to glance at one particular verse from this parasha today:
Exouds 34:29 Now it was when Moshe came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of Testimony in Moshe’s hand, when he came down from the mountain – (now) Moshe did not know that the skin of his face was radiating because of his having-spoken with him…
Encounters with the mystery of the universe transform us, and often we don’t recognize the transformation ourselves.
Elul asks us to be open to our own growth – to be like Moses and absorb the changes. Reality is filled with the miraculous. When we notice it we can be transformed.
When someone asks about something, we may learn more than we teach.
