What Separates the Men & Boys
A horse, a soldier in heavy armor, and a test the Russian army used to pick its recruits. What was it really measuring? The same question hides in one word Aharon says when the people press him for the Golden Calf: "tomorrow." A Midrash finds that word in three other places that all touch Amalek, and says Amalek falls only "tomorrow." Why that word, and what does it say about the days when evil seems to be winning? The idea reaches a very personal place in every one of us.
