Aliya Summary: Moshe asks G‑d to reconsider the matter of the angel
leading them. G‑d reconsiders, and agrees to lead them Himself again.
Moshe then requests that G‑d's presence never manifest itself on any
other nation other than the Jews.
It's fascinating that
while the Jews were creating and serving the Golden Calf, Moshe was
asking for a more intimate understanding of G-d. One would think that
would be the worst time to ask for more, but Moshe saw it as an
opportunity to seek a better understand, arguing that if we
knew/understood G-d better, we would be less likely to stray, an
argument still true today.
