The story of the Sin of the Golden Calf raises two main questions. First, what was the nature of the people's sin, and how could they betray Hashem so soon after the revelation at Mount Sinai? Second, how are we to understand Aharon's role in the incident? Is it possible that he was actually involved in an idolatrous rite, or is it blasphemous to even consider such a possibility?  This Torahcast, brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky, explores these questions and more.  For primary sources and analysis, see: https://alhatorah.org/Sin_of_the_Golden_Calf
