Parsha Lab from Aleph Beta

We learn in Parshat Ki Tisa about the infamous sin the Israelite’s committed by creating the Golden Calf. But there’s something very unclear about this story — why would the Israelite’s want to build a Golden Calf? It's not like people today want to build and pray to idols, so why would the Israelite’s?
