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?

A lover begins to write a love letter to his beloved
After writing, before mailing (or pressing "send") he hears his beloved has done something unbecoming or worse. He still loves his beloved regardless.

But he can't continue to send his love letter.

So he crumples it up.

Then he realizes his love is greater than the unbecoming conduct. He loves his beloved unconditionally.

And then he picks up the pen again and restarts writing. He finishes and sends the second letter.

  And the lover rewrites the exact same words the second time?

The engraving in the tablets liberated the yidden from death and the yetzer
People originally intended to live forever sin-free. Then Adam and Chava destroyed that original plan. And then the tablets (meaning all of Torah) was designed to re-establish that status before the chait aitz hadaas.

But, again, the yidden sinned in the mid bar, so once again, death and sin came back. And indeed that generation was sentenced to pass away in the midst.

But, did Moshe also sin? He, too, passed away. Was his sin by striking the rock sufficient for him to be sentenced to death? Or just enough of a sin to disallow entry to EY?
