What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

um page 492. um loretta so we started saying yesterday the people are uh they saw that moshe urbano was late and the proper perspective is to think of people who are out in a desert without supplies without anything without leadership now and moshe knows a god for us we don't know what happened to him so the commentaries explain almost as one that what they wanted was they saw most rabino as an intermediary between them and god what they wanted was another intermediary but one who would not ever abandon them and therefore they want the intermediary of of of what he called a uh the golden calf which one of the animals in god's chariot as they speak you know their chariot as they speak you know their four symbols is the ox which is the the daddy of the calf which represents serving an axis there because it represents serving with all your energy so you talk about a very high level desire over here we want to desire through the intermediary but that that itself is idle worship now they say they they they joke tongue and sheik that you see what happened the first time jews held somebody to start on time well sure abhinu they held moshe a minute to be precise and on time so ever since then
