Daily Aliya for Ki Tisa, Shvii (7th Aliya)

Aliya Summary: Moshe descends Mount Sinai with the second tablets, and unbeknown to him beams of light were projecting off his face. Aaron and the people are originally afraid of him. Moshe teaches the people the Torah he studied on the mountain. Moshe wears a veil on his face from that time on, but removes it when speaking to G‑d and when repeating G‑d's words to the people.

Curious that Moshe's face glowed, but not his hands, or other skin exposed to G-d's presence.
