Made With Fear

In the Torah portion Ki Tisa, the Israelites take one ingredient — gold — and they melt, bake and mold it into a calf because they are fearful that Moses will not come back down the mountain. It turned out to be a bad idea and God became very upset with the Israelites. It is never a good idea to try to make anything when we are full of fear.

if you feel scared, take a big breath, relax your body and think carefully about what will be the wisest thing to do next.
