Shabbat Shalom!

Our Torah columnists this week zero in on Parsha Ki Tisa.

Rav Binny Freedman's column, headlined "Calf vs. cherubs: What we want is who we really are," suggests that what we do was always meat to be; our freedom of choice is in what we want to do.

Rav Avi Billet, headlined "Doing it exactly right because that is what G-d intended," says that "our task is to look to His book as a guide and to do our best, with unbridled sincerity untainted by agenda-driven practices, to get close to Him."

Alan Jay Gerber, The Kosher Bookworm, introduces us to "a new talent" who will be visiting the Five Towns soon: Rabbi Moshe Walter.

And if you misplaced your luach, here are this week's key times: Candlelighting 5:10; Shabbat ends 6:20 (72 minute zman 6:42).

Shabbat Shalom!
