Is it a coincidence that "they" celebrate Pesach?
Is it a coincidence that "they" refer to their false god as the "passover lamb"?
Is it a coincidence that "they" refer to their anticipated future aliyah to Israel as the "Second Exodus"?
Also a mixed multitude went up with them... (Shemot 12:38)
Joshua heard the sound of the people in its shouting, and he said to Moses, "The sound of battle is in the camp!" He said, "Not a shouting sound of strength nor a crying wound of weakness: a distressing sound do I hear!" It happened as he drew near the camp and saw the calf and the dances...(Shemot 32:17-19)
קול מלחמה במחנה-The sound of battle is in the camp! The organizers of the Golden Calf "religion" (lit.-a sound of war in the camp) wished to stage a second Revelation for their "new Torah." Since the heavens produced no sound of the shofar, thunder or lightning, they began to blow shofars and make their own noise.
(Insights in the Torah: Shemos, Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin)
"..Therefore, the war against the Erev Rav is the most difficult and bitterest of all. We must strengthen ourselves for this war, and anyone who does not participate in the battle against the Erev Rav becomes, de facto, a partner with the k'lipah of the Erev Rav, and is better off not having been born." (Kol HaTor, Chapter 2, Section 2:2)
to be continued.....
