The Heart of the Matter

What is the secret of the sages' enigmatic teaching that the Golden Calf 'emerged from the fire' on its own? What happens when people develop a dependency on the gods of their own creation -- a spiritual addiction -- only to become enslaved to the idol, which turns on its maker, with a 'life' of its own? In this week's Jerusalem Lights podcast, Jim Long and Rabbi Chaim Richman talk about the danger of worshipping a person, of putting G-d in a box, and of becoming dependent on anything but G-d.
