The representations of the idols were understood not to be a deity onto themselves, rather the objective was to use these objects to connect to the powers above that are non-physical, in order to connect to [...]

חסר הבנה

הרמב"ם מסביר שעבודה זרה התחילה כדרך לאנשים להתקשר לה'. הם הבינו שלפסלים האלו אין כוחות משלהם, אלא מטרתם הייתה להשתמש בדברים הפיזיים האלו כדי להתחבר לכוחות הרוחניים הגבוהים, כדי להתקשר לה'. וזה אסור כעבודה זרה, למרות שהעובדים מבינים שכוחות האלה הם רק משניים לכוח המקורי של ה'. באופן דומה, כל סוג של ייצוג פיזי של [...]

By The People, For The People

The gemora (Brochos 55a) teaches us that we cannot appoint a leader of the community (“Parness”) against the will of the people. Therefore, the public must first be asked. This is learned from the pasuk that says “I have asked Betzalel to take a position.” (Shemos 31:1,2) The question is obvious: Betzalel did not have [...]
