But there was a significant learning curve. When creating and worshiping the Golden Calf, Am Yisrael did much more than just desire something of a material nature to turn toward in religious devotion or in search of a power to trust in. The wishes of Am Yisrael had been affected by generations spent in Egypt where we had been exposed to (and became part of) a culture that embraces a true multiplicity of Gods. What we sought with the creation of the Egel was to serve any and all Gods of importance. For this reason, Aharon declared “Eleh Elohecha… Asher He`elucha (plural) M`Eretz Mitzrayim”. There is an opinion that states that there were numerous calves of gold that emerged from the cauldron of melted ore. How far-reaching was this misconception and error? When demanding that we destroy the Asheirah trees (used as foci of idolatry) that the Israelites would find upon arrival in the land of Canaan, God decrees that these trees be destroyed even though they were growing on Israel’s land – land that was rightfully ours. How could the Canaanite pagans impart Issur and resultant prohibitions that condemn trees that were not rightfully theirs? The Talmud explains that because the Israelites, at the time of the Sin of the Egel, desired to serve many Gods, the Canaanites were considered as if they were acting on behalf of the wayward nation of Israel. [Avoda Zara 53b] Acceptance of the intolerable has farreaching consequences.
