After reading a short vort on Parshat Ki Sisa, from TheShmuz.com, I would like to share the idea presented:
We see that Bnei Yisroel succumb to the sin of cheit haeigle. Even though we were on a very high level, having seen all the maacot, the yam suf's splitting, and hearing the dibrot from HaShem, they were still drawn by the the gleam of gold and sliver, the sparkle of gaava.
Kal vechomer, when thinking about us NOW and our present level, we can tremble to think of the taava that we have toward this same gleam.
We must stand on guard and realize and recognize that it is a source of taava.
We should be matzliach in recognizing our tests and pass them with flying colours, or get up and try again.
Shabbat Shalom.

Wow, I'm impressed. This is the third post I'm reading in a row, and you've written such wonderfully inspirational things with extra brachot! Amen, and thank you Sarahle! (p.s. Where is Leah? She would love these posts.)
I know, maybe I'll send her an email.
