Idolatry – Ask the Rabbi
Q. Is the 2nd Commandment still relevant, with its ban on idolatry? Are there still any idols?
A. Dozens of them. People worship false gods such as money, status, power and success.
They also worship the true God in an idolatrous fashion, e.g. by disdaining and demonising others in the name of God, or targeting, injuring and murdering others, ostensibly on His behalf.
