Ki Tisa 5782

This is Torah Talk for the week of February 13th, 2022

Exodus 34:14 

You must not worship any other god, because the Lord, whose name is Impassioned [קַנָּ֣א שְׁמ֔וֹ], is an impassioned God [אֵ֥ל קַנָּ֖א הֽוּא].

Or, as others translate, a jealous God.  But what does it mean to say that God’s name is Jealous?
