maseikhah note has been very instructive and insightful. I never understood molten / play-doh type of image had anything to do with the nature of the sin.
Very nice use of metaphor in the opener. I would even agree with you in part regarding the people failing to internalize that it was in fact God that brought them out of Egypt: "Their mistake was seeing him not as an instrument of YHVH, but as a human being who became God-like" Agree in part. Not seeing him as BOTH caused them to throw off the Torah like their garments. Because Is not, "YHVH make his face to shine upon you" a reference to Moses teaching Israel his mitsvot on his behalf? God uses Moses as an illustration of himself not just to the Egyptians but to Israel as well (but with the mask in play, interestingly). I'm also glad you connect this mask to Purim...why are the masks worn? Is it not to remember that God remained hidden during the Purim miracle? The Talmud compares the exile to "night” and the Purim story to “dawn.” "When one rules justly over men, ruling in the fear of God he dawns on them like the morning light" and again: "But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall GO OUT leaping like calves from the stall." And on that note, regarding your emphasis on the "fallacy of FORM", I ask: Isn't the expression, "go out in haste" a reference to the Passover?

Shabbat Shalom Rabbi! Beautiful enlightenment of Torah!
