Moshe receives the Luchot with the Ten Commandments. The mixed multitude that left Egypt with Bnai Yisrael panic when Moshe's descent seems to be delayed, forcing Ahron to make them a golden calf to worship. G-d threatens to destroy everyone & build a new nation from Moshe. Moshe smashes the tablets & destroys the golden calf. The tribe of Levi executes 3,000 men.
Moshe prays for forgiveness for the people using the "13 Attributes of Hashem;" Hashem accepts his prayer. Hashem tells Moshe to hew new tablets.
Idol worship, intermarriage, & the combination of milk & meat are prohibited. Laws of the first-born, firstfruits, Shabbat & Shalosh Regalim are taught.
Moshe descends with the second set of tablets; his face glows due to contact with the Divine & he covers it with a mask.

Re'e NEVER EXTREME EXCEPT ISRAEL
Parshat Re'eh
Judaism is against extremism, so how can we understand the seemingly extreme statements found in our sages in favor of living in the Land of Israel and against living in Chutz laAretz? The article deals with the seeming contradiction between the strength of Free-Will and the strength of being influenced by our surroundings.
