Torah Portion Preview<br />
For Ki Tisa<br />
Shabbat beginning <strong>March</strong> 1 st , 2024<br />
Ki Tisa (“when you take” a census) is a rich Torah portion. Moses collects taxes,<br />
recruits the craftsman Bazalel to furnish the Tabernacle, and ascends Sinai to get<br />
the tablets with commandments. Meanwhile, the Israelites and Aaron make and<br />
celebrate their golden calf. Returning, Moses breaks the tablets in anger, and the<br />
Levites kill 3,000 Israelites as punishment. Moses ascends again to get new tablets.<br />
The Eternal One proclaims to be “compassionate and gracious, slow to anger,<br />
abounding in kindness and faithfulness.” Moses returns with the new tablets and a<br />
radiant face.<br />
In The Mussar Torah Commentary, Rabbi Mari Chernow provides an astute<br />
developmental account of anger. She writes that it begins with a breach in a<br />
relationship, which grows all too rapidly into regrettable actions. We counter these<br />
by conceiving anger as a teacher alerting us to matters in need of attention. We<br />
occasionally counter even this by a more urgent need for societal transformation.<br />
Her example of inspiring action concerns “sexual violence and inequality.” The<br />
HUC-JIR Rabbis foretold her inspiring approach to Gender and Sexuality as<br />
“Proactive: creating new ways to transform deterministic thinking and acting,<br />
including ways that change Jewish traditions to serve all members better.”<br />
We invite all to come to synagogue in person or on Zoom on Friday night to hear<br />
a more in-depth interpretation from Rabbi Meeka (or this Sabbath's lay speaker).<br />
We also invite other views, interpretations, reflections, and even poems on each<br />
Torah portion. If you have something to contribute, please email it to<br />
RPC@templeadasshalom.org. This and prior previews can be found at Dr. David<br />
Dirlam's website by clicking on Changing Wisdoms Projects.<br />
