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.

Hosha'ana Rabba FLYDUBAI & HOSHANA RABBA- ANI VAHU HOSHIA NA- I & HIM SAVE US
"Ani vaHu Hoshia Na", "I and Him, Save Us". We don't just pray to Him, but we also pray to and for ourselves that we should emulate and educate our children to have that instinctive altruism with which He created the world. President Trump seemed amused about Yaniv Hayon, our PLUMBER who confidently worked with G-d like Superman (he learned from a pilot on a TV show!) to save 174 lives on the Dubai hijacking, but we in Israel are totally accustomed already 78 years to our plumbers, teachers, garbage-men, rabbis, farmers & doctors being Hashem's shlichim! This is what Zionism is about.
