Teshuvah Is Easy; Change Is Difficult Parshas Shoftim – Using Elul Productively ‫ספר שמות פרק לד‬ ‫וַיְ הִ י בְּ ֶרדֶ ת משֶׁ ה מֵ הַ ר סִ ינַי וּשְׁ נֵי לֻחֹת הָ ﬠֵ דֻת בְּ יַד משֶׁ ה בְּ ִר ְדתּוֹ מִ ן הָ הָ ר וּמשֶׁ ה ל ֹא יָדַ ע כִּ י קָרַ ן עוֹר פָּ נָיו בְּ דַ בְּ רוֹ אִ תּוֹ‬: ‫ל( וַ יּ ְַרא אַ הֲ רֹן וְ כָל בְּ נֵי יִ שְׂ ָראֵ ל אֶ ת משֶׁ ה וְ הִ נֵּה קָרַ ן עוֹר פָּ נָיו וַ יִּ ירְ אוּ מִ גֶּשֶׁ ת אֵ לָיו‬: And when Moshe descended from Har Sinai, and the two tablets of testimony were in his hand when he descended from the mountain, Moshe did not know that his skin had become radiant while He [HASHEM] had spoken with him. ‫רש"י על שמות פרק לד פסוק ל‬ ‫ בא וראה כמה גדולה כחה של עבירה שעד שלא פשטו ידיהם בעבירה מהו אומר )שמות כד( ומראה כבוד ה' כאש‬- ‫ל( וייראו מגשת אליו‬ ‫אוכלת בראש ההר לעיני בני ישראל ולא יראים ולא מזדעזעים ומשעשו את העגל אף מקרני הודו של משה היו מרתיעים ומזדעזעים‬: Come and see how great the power of sin is!
