However, these are not soul? absolute requirements so long as the food is present or Second Aliyah: (32:9) Why does Hashem describe Bnei as a “stiff‐necked people” immediately accessible during the berachah. – how is that descriptive of their rebellion against Hashem by building the Golden Calf? Third Aliyah: (33:12) What did Moshe mean when saying to Hashem, “You haven’t told Regarding HaMotzi, specifically, there are additional reasons to me whom You are sending with me”? hold the bread during the berachah, related to the symbolism of Fourth Aliyah: (33:18) What was Moshe asking to see when he asked to be shown the ten fingers holding the bread. Finally, on Shabbos there is yet Hashem’s “glory”? another reason to hold the bread, to show love for the two loaves Fifth Aliyah: (34:1) Why did Hashem restate here that Moshe had broken the original which parallel the miraculous manna. Tablets? (Berachos 43b, Shabbos 117b and Rashi there; Yerushalmi Challah 1:6; Sixth Aliyah: What is the point of stating the holy days at this point?
