Conversations at Sinai: Ki Tisa Insights

God converses with Moses on Mount Sinai about how to properly communicate. The conversation teaches that true listening and emotional connection are more important than merely staring at someone or waiting to speak. While God tells Moses that no one can see God's face and live, seeing someone's face is not necessary for deep understanding between two people in conversation.
