In a natural continuation to Parshas Terumah, in Parshas Tetzaveh we learn about the instructions to build the Tabernacle. Whereas last week the focus was on the edifice itself and its vessels, this week we will orient primarily on the special garments that the priests wore in the Tabernacle, and of course subsequently in the […]
Parshas Terumah: Gold and Grain The Mishkan is built from gold, wood, and precious stones. But at its center stand two vessels that mirror each other: the Aron and the Shulchan. One holds the Torah from Heaven. The other holds bread made by human hands. This episode explores why the Shulchan was crowned like the Aron, and what it teaches about the balance between Torah and parnassah. Drawing on Rashi and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we uncover a powerful truth: material life and spiritual purpose are not rivals. When aligned, they become one structure capable of holding the Divine Presence.
Making Space for Hashem
In this week's Parshas Teruma shiur, we journey into one of the most mysterious elements of the Mishkan: the tachash.While some academic opinions suggest that the tachash was a type of dolphin or sealskin, Chazal (Gemara Shabbos 28) reveal something far more wondrous—an extraordinary, multi-colored creature with a single horn. A creation that existed just for that moment in Jewish history… a true “unicorn.”But beyond the curiosity of what the tachash was, lies a profound message.The Mishkan was built from the contributions of every Jew. Each material, each donation, each color represented the individuality and unique beauty every neshama brings to Klal Yisrael. The tachash, with its spectrum of colors, becomes a symbol of the unity that emerges only when every “shade” is present.In the shiur, we explore how this Torah concept of diverse colors contrasts with contemporary uses of the rainbow as a cultural symbol. From a Torah perspective, individuality and uniqueness are real, beautiful, and divinely intended—but can be misunderstood or redirected without the spiritual framework the Mishkan embodies.Topics discussed include:
This episode goes through the mitzvah of Nichum Availim.
This episode discusses why the Aron was placed in the Kodesh Hakedoshim, although it represents the Torah.

One of the fundamental principles of Jewish philosophy is the idea of “Kedushah”, holiness. Holiness, according to the Jewish definition, is when the physical and spiritual worlds meet. In no location in the world is holiness more present than the Temple, and its predecessor, the “Mishkan”, the Tabernacle. In this week's parsha we read about […]

Parshas Mishpatim: Entering the Cloud After the thunder of Har Sinai, the Torah shifts from revelation to responsibility, introducing fifty-three commandments that bring holiness into daily life. But the Parsha ends with a powerful contrast. The elders witness G-dliness and remain themselves. Moshe enters the cloud and disappears for forty days. With Rashi and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, we explore the difference between seeing holiness and surrendering to it.
Embracing Natural Balances
Parshas Mishpatim 5786 ספר שמות פרק כב פסוק ל וְאַנְשֵׁי־קֹדֶשׁ תִּהְיוּן לִי וּבָשָׂר בַּשָּׂדֶה טְרֵפָה לֹא תֹאכֵלוּ לַכֶּלֶב תַּשְׁלִכוּן אֹתוֹ׃ {ס} SSefer hemos Chapter 22 Verse 30 You shall be holy people to Me: you must not eat flesh torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs.
Imagine the world as a bright, noisy classroom, God at the front as a wise teacher, and all of us as kindergartners still learning how to listen, share, and keep our hands to ourselves. That simple picture becomes a key for unlocking Parshas Mishpatim, turning dense legal chapters into a living guide for how to build trust, repair harm, and honor the people right beside us.We trace the Torah's powerful shift from duties to God to duties to each other and unpack why the opening word—“Ve'eleh,” and these—matters so much. It's the bridge that puts interpersonal law on the same Sinai pedestal as Shabbat and prayer. Through the classroom lens, rules about damages, lending, theft, negligence, and employer‑employee obligations stop feeling abstract. They become the laminated poster on the wall: use kind words, return what you take, arrive on time, protect the small and the new kid, listen when a friend speaks. Rewards and consequences are not bribes and threats; they are the structure that keeps learning possible.Then we go deeper. Some rules fit everyone, but some care is personal. Just as a parent privately tells the teacher about allergies and sensitivities, the Torah reveals what people can't tolerate—exploitation, delay, gossip, humiliation—and what helps them thrive—fairness, patience, timely repayment, quiet dignity. We explore how studying your friend's needs turns halacha into relational wisdom. Advanced sugyas in Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia come alive as tools to restore safety after harm and to keep the classroom calm enough for souls to grow.By the end, holiness looks less like grand gestures and more like everyday restraint: easing envy's sting, slowing down on the road, helping lift a burden on the shoulder of I‑95, noticing who stands alone. Keep the classroom image in your mind and Mishpatim starts to sing—justice with a human touch, kindness with a spine, and law as the architecture of peace.
