    Re kappara over generations, was that even required for sin of detachment as opposed to sins of avoda Sara and gilui aroyos?? Or perhaps it was both because the detachment devolved into more grave aveiros?

    So if the sin is  essentially detachment why does it require such extensive kappara over the generations?

    We are being tested constantly with challenges

    To see if we rise to the test and challenge or not.

    Perhaps Moshe was also being tested when the yidden sinned? Would he defend them, join them, and break the  luchos or not? 

    If so, the entire chait ha'egel was not only a test for the yidden (would they succumb?) and also   a  test for Moshe if he would defend them  and join them?

    The yidden sinned so Moshe also sinned

    Even before receiving the written contract, i.e. the tablets, the yidden heard the first 2 commandments directly and the other 8 indirectly. So it was binding already yet before delivery of the contract, the actual arrival of the tablets. 

    So the yidden sinned by breaching a fundamental commandment already given and binding.

    And then Moshe sinned also by breaking the tablets and so, joined the yidden by sinning also.

    BUT, how can you compare the sin of breaching  a fundamental commandment like avodah zorah with the mere breaking of the luchos? There is  no moral equivalent. Plus, where does it say one cannot break the luchos? How was that a sin at all?

    • So breaking of luchos is in a sense an aveira lishmoh, to be  praised?
