We just read (in Parshat Ki Tisa) that the Levites punished the 3,000 men who took part in the golden calf episode. But 3,000 is only 1/2 of 1% of the 600,000 Israelite men who left Egypt. Why is the golden calf episode so important to our tradition if it involved such a tiny proportion of the people? Is there commentary on this?
