		And Aharon said to them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, and bring them to me. And all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon.
		And he received the gold at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it a molten calf: and they said, These are thy gods, O Yisrael, which brought thee up out of the land of Mizrayim.
		Thus, we are enabled to understand that the sin of bene Yisrael was not the construction and worship of a false god, but of the erection of an image of God - an image that is forbidden as God is without form and may not be represented in any manner.

		Rav Yisrael's best-known work, his Iggeres haMussar is available on line in English (translated by R' Zvi Miller as part of Or Yisrael).
		To me, the essence of Rav Yisrael Salanter's innovation is the realization that if man's task in life it to perfect himself, then one must actively engage in self perfection.
		And in fact, Rav Yisrael took the idea even further, and applied man's duty to be holy, as the Ramban puts it "Sanctify yourself with that which is permitted to you" to find acts that go beyond the law to help one improve in particular areas that require work.

		Our sages, infused with a belief that Torah was a book that sought to teach a way of life, to transmit God's wisdom always saw the words of Torah, whether encased in a gripping story or conversely, a tedious barrage of information, as harbouring a truth that had to be unveiled and deciphered.
		For Sephorno, it is all a labour of love, As Yirmiyahu remembers "the love of your youth," Bnei Yisrael is depicted as passionately loving the Almighty to the point at which they are prepared to enter a wasteland simply to follow their beloved.
		Am Yisrael were very much "in process" at this delicate stage of their infancy, and the Wilderness afforded them the opportunity of growth and development, spiritually, culturally, civilly, in order to enter the Land of Israel in a more mature state.

		True, he was now Yisrael and his life reflected that change, but he was still Yaacov, preserving all that that name signified.
		Before he was known as Yisrael, we see only a forlorn downtrodden man. Now, even in the face of calamity, Yaacov remained strong, for he was now Yisrael.

		Yisrael, of course, immediately stopped what he was doing and arranged a lavish meal for the king's children.

		Having once seen a chain gang working on a road near Kelm, the Alter of Kelm was unable to continue walking casually on a road built at the cost of so much human suffering.
		For that reason, Rabbi Yisrael Salanter taught, one of the keys to a successful judgment on Rosh Hashana is a commitment to and identification with the community of Jews.

		In light of this, we must clearly understand that all Torah observance is altered according to the dictates of the situation.
		The reason for Rav Yisrael's halachic modifications was that too much sadness could weaken the resistance of the living, as well as impede Divine service (of which happiness is an essential component).
		Although klal Yisrael must always conduct themselves in compliance with the Torah, at the time of the epidemic, Rav Yisrael instructed the community to alter their perspective and view death through the eyes of the intellect.

		The Ramban, a thirteenth century Spanish commentator, explains that the parsha of the incense alter is even placed outside the bookends of v’shakhanti (25:8-29:45) which encompasses the work of the Tabernacle, because it is so removed from the topic of the service in the Tabernacle.
		This is why when in verse 6, when describing where the Mizbach Ketoret is put it says, “Place it (the Mizbeach) before the partition, which is in front of the ark of testimony, before the covering that is on top of the testimony where I will meet with you.
		The Aron, Shulchan, and menorah are all there to make it possible for Hashem to dwell amongst Bnei Yisrael, which is something that the Mizbach Ketoret is not directly involved in.

		Similarly, the eyes of the children of Yisrael were "closed" to the spiritual enslavement by the Egyptians, which started imperceptibly with Yaakov's death.
		Another reason that the Parsha is "closed" is that Yaakov wanted to reveal to his children the end of the final exile of the Jewish People, and the coming of the Moshiach, but his prophetic vision was "closed", and he was not able to reveal it.
		Rather, Yaakov saw the exile beginning, and he realized that the Jewish People would be living outside of Eretz Yisrael, distant from the source of kedusha.
