I, and others whom I have spoken with, am disturbed by many things that
I see going on in the O world today. To me it seems that some are
"making up a new religion." People ascribe powers to coins, to
men and to who knows what else. IMO, one can gain insight into what the
Torah perspective on these things is by reading the first part of RSRH's
commentary on Shemos 32<br><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><b><i>1. When the people saw that
Moshe did not fulfill their expectation<br>
that he would come down from the mountain, the people gathered<br>
against Aharon, and they said to him: Arise, make us gods who shall<br>
go before us; for this man Moshe, who brought us up from the land of<br>
Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.<br><br>
</i></b>For those interested, I have posted his commentary on this Pasuk
at <br><br>
