Jmatt said he wouldn’t, or was it couldn’t give a D.T. tonight. For some reason, he is still on the main page. So since nobody is going to give, I’ll give it a go.
#1:Why is this week’s parsha so disproportionate? The 1st two aliyos are huge, and the final five are tiny? The answer is that since shevet levi did not sin by the eygel, it will not be an embarrassment for them to get these aliyos. For the rest of klal yisroel, however, it would be better to pack the entire chayt of the eygel into 2 aliyos, and we’d avoid more embarrassment.
#2: We are now in the “pesach period”, so here is a hagadda piece.
The torah is “like 4 sons” What does that mean? It means the same Breishis which is learned in 1st grade, is the same Breishis learned in high schools, and the same Breishis learned by the gedolim. We don’t need to change it for others. Each person can learn it in accordance to their level of understanding. And the Rasha will find justification for his evil behaviour in Breishis as well.
