Podcasts about Pekudei

Parsha “Pekudei,” Exodus 38:21 through the end of the Book) concludes the reading and study of the Book of Exodus. And as the Hebrew title suggests, it begins with an account of the precious materials used in building the mishkan, or tabernacle, and again emphasizes several of the key themes: it is the work of the ‘craftsman,’ ‘skillful workment’ who — in detail — DID what they were told to do, “as YHVH commanded Moses.” And at least part again seem to be word-for-word repetitions, with the verb tense changed, another ‘atbash,’ or Biblical HTML tag equivalent, for emphasis. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at the parsha, and a different take than you have probably heard for the midrash discussion and teaching. First, the Erev Shabbat reading: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/WT-CooH-3-21-Pekudei-AI-Delinquent-Kids-and-the-Mishkan-Its-a-FILTER-podcast-xxx.mp3 The Sabbath Day midrash not only emphasizes some of the primary themes of the building of the Tabernacle/Mishkan, but will connect what might seem to be some ‘disparate dots’.

Thank you for your partnership in expanding our Jewish programming!In this episode launching Sefer Vayikra, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe contrasts the themes of the Torah books: Bereishit (family of Israel), Shemot (nation of Israel), Vayikra (holiness/spirituality of Israel), Bamidbar (travels of Israel), and Devarim (review). He highlights the small aleph in "Vayikra" as Moshe's humble choice to downplay his frequent divine calls (Vayikar = "it happened" vs. summoned), and Moshe's refusal to enter the Ohel Moed until explicitly called—teaching intentional Judaism: acts must be purposeful, not rote habit. Prayer, tefillin, and mitzvot lose depth when mechanical; they require Kavanah (focus/intention) and simplicity ("I'm doing this because Hashem commanded it").The Parsha's Korbanot (offerings) begin with voluntary ones, including the Olah (elevation/burnt offering) that atones for missed mitzvot—going beyond Teshuvah (repentance/apology) by repairing the relationship to an elevated state. Today, reciting the Korbanot in Tefillah substitutes for actual offerings, restoring closeness. Rabbi Wolbe stresses avoiding mundane habit in all areas (marriage, parenting, Avodah): invest freshness, intention, and growth (e.g., date your spouse, spotlight children's strengths).

In this quick but powerful shiur on Vayakhel-Pekudei, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe shares an insight from Rabbi Yaakov Nagel (Senior Rabbi of Heimish of Houston) about the unique double-sided drapes (Yeri'ot) in the Mishkan. While most embroidery (Ma'asei Choshev) was identical on both sides, one special curtain at the entrance to the Kodesh HaKodashim (Holy of Holies) featured a completely different image on the inner side—yet no human ever saw it. The Kohen Gadol entered once a year, performed the Yom Kippur service, and exited backward, never turning to view the inner curtain. So why invest in an unseen design?Rabbi Wolbe explains: It teaches that Hashem's perspective often differs radically from ours. We may undervalue a mitzvah (thinking it's "small") or ourselves (feeling unworthy or limited), but Hashem sees infinite worth. A simple act—holding back lashon hara, a quiet prayer, a moment of restraint—may earn unimaginable reward in heaven. Conversely, we sometimes overestimate our deeds. The hidden curtain reminds us: some mitzvot and personal potentials are visible only to Hashem, whose valuation transcends human sight. This applies especially to parenting: parents must reflect children's true greatness and potential (like the mirrors of last week's shiur), seeing beyond their self-doubt to ignite confidence and growth—just as Hashem sees our hidden light._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 17, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 18, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

This is a heavy and complicated and confusing time. But we must not respond to the spiritual overload by closing off our hearts. Let us pry our hearts open instead.  Vayak-hel Pekudei 5786

On כ״ה אדר, the day associated with Hashem's desire to create the world and the birthday of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, the Rebbe explains that the Mishkan was built to make this world a dwelling place for Hashem. Pekudei teaches that the Mishkan belonged equally to all Jews, and each person must contribute all their powers to build that sanctuary. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/014

On the 25th of Adar, the day associated with Hashem's desire to create the world, Pekudei teaches the purpose of creation: making a dwelling place for Hashem. The Rebbe explains that the Mishkan belonged equally to all Jews, and each person must contribute all their powers to build a sanctuary for Hashem. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/013

Pekudei teaches that the Mishkan, the two Batei Mikdash, and the future Beis HaMikdash are all one continuing sanctuary for Hashem. The Rebbe explains that even in times of destruction, the Mikdash is only a temporary collateral, and our task is to make the shul, the home, and the world into a dwelling place for Hashem. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/013

Parshas Pekudei teaches that the Mishkan and Beis HaMikdash are both eternal in different ways, and that exile is only a temporary collateral until redemption. The Rebbe explains that the true purpose of the Mishkan is not only when Hashem's presence is openly revealed, but also when we carry that faith with us through the journey. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/011

After the Mishkan was completed, Moshe Rabbeinu blessed the Jewish people that the Shechinah should rest in their work. The Rebbe explains that even after doing all we can, we still need Moshe Rabbeinu's blessing and connection in order to bring Hashem's presence into our efforts. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/009

Parshas Pekudei concludes Sefer Shemos with the completion of the Mishkan. Though the Jewish people did all the work, the Mishkan could only be raised through Moshe Rabbeinu and his blessing. The Rebbe explains the lesson for every generation: effort must be joined with connection to Moshe. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/008

Parshas Vaykhel Pekudei-The Simcha of a Siyum

Forget humanoid robots! The ultimate labor saver has been available for the last three thousand-odd years. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

EXODUS 35:1-40:38

The parsha highlights Betzalel's insight, Moshe Rabbeinu's humility, and Hashem's role in erecting the Mishkan. Even when Hashem performs the real work, a person must still contribute their small part. The Mishkan teaches both action and trust in Hashem. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/005

The Rebbe explains that Vayakhel represents the Jewish people's effort in building the Mishkan, while Pekudei represents Hashem's response by bringing down the Shechinah. When they are read together, it teaches that Hashem's blessing can follow our effort immediately. https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/011_pekudei/001

Parshas Vayakhel & Pekudei: The Altar Within As we conclude Sefer Shemos, the Mishkan is finally completed and the Divine Presence descends among the Jewish people.  Yet within the Mishkan stands a mystery. Unlike the other sacred vessels, the two altars cannot become ritually impure. Why are they different? Drawing on the Gemara and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this episode reveals a powerful insight: the altar represents the deepest point within every Jew, a place that can never become spiritually impure. 

Pekudei | 5786 | Then Shlomo assembled the elders of Yisrael, by Rav Eli Weber The Inauguration of Beit Hamikdash. 1 Melakhim 7:51 - 8:1-21

Why was it important for the nations to acknowledge the return of our unique relationship with Hashem following the sin of the eigel?

Harav Yissocher Frand shares a pshat from the Chida on the purpose of gold in this world and draws from it a proper perspective on technological progress.  

התוכן [המשך] וההוראה הפשוטה, הכללית וההכרחית: תורת אמת היא ה"הוראה בחיים" המאירה ליהודי את הדרך בחיים, עד שיש בלימוד התורה את התכונה ש"מביא לידי מעשה" [דלא כחכמות אחרות וכו'], עד ש"המאור שבה מחזירו למוטב". ולכן ההתחלה היא בלימוד התורה ודבר ה' כפי שצוה ה' את משה וכו' – בעצמו. שזהו"ע של פ' תרומה-תצוה. אח"כ בא השלב של "ויקהל" – שבאותה התלהבות גדולה ומס"נ שבה למד בעצמו – "מפי הגבורה" או מפי "משה" (החכם שבדורו) – ה"ה "מקהיל" אחרים ומוסר להם את הוראות ה' ע"ד בניית המשכן "הפרטי" או "הכללי" וכו'. והתלהבות ו"שטורעם" הזו שלו נמשכת גם אח"כ בשלב המעשה ועוסק בפועל בבניית חלקו במשכן הכללי וכו'. וגם כאשר מגיע הזמן לערוך "חשבון נפש" על כ"ז – אינו מסתפק בעשיית סה"כ כללי ומהר, אלא עורך אותו עם כל הפרטים וכו' (ע"ד פירוט החשבון בפ' פקודי) [המשך יבוא]משיחת מוצש"ק פ' ויקהל-פקודי, מבה"ח ניסן, פ' החודש ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-03-2026 Synopsis (Continued.) The simple, wide-ranging, and crucial lesson is as follows: The Torah of Truth is the guide for life that illuminates a Jew's path in this world, to the extent that Torah study contains the the quality of “leading to action” (unlike secular studies etc.) so that ultimately, “the luminary within it brings him back to good.” Therefore, one begins with studying Torah and the word of Hashem the way Hashem commanded it to Moshe (in Terumah and Tetzaveh). Then comes “Vayakhel”: with the same degree of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice that one heard it himself “from the mouth of the Almi-ghty” or from the mouth of Moshe (the Sage of his generation), he now assembles others and transmits Hashem's instructions regarding the Mishkan to them. This enthusiasm also continues in the stage of action, where one actually builds his part of the Mishkan etc. And even afterwards, when the time comes to make an accounting of all this, one doesn't suffice with making a general, quick accounting, rather, he does it in full detail (like the detailed tally in Pekudei). (To be continued.)Excerpt from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Vayakhel-Pekudei, Parashas HaChodesh 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=12-03-2026 לע"נ מרת חנה פעשא בת ר' מנחם מענדל ע"ה סגל ליום היארצייט שלה כ"ג אדר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

In this inspiring wrap-up to Sefer Shemot, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the profound symbolism of the Kiyor (copper laver/washbasin) in Vayakheil (Exodus 38:8), made from the mirrors donated by the Jewish women ("Marot Hatzovot" – mirrors of the legions who gathered at the Tent of Meeting). While Moshe initially recoiled, viewing them as tools of yetzer hara (used for enticement), Hashem commanded their acceptance, declaring these donations more precious than gold or silver because they enabled the continuation of the Jewish people in Egypt. Exhausted slave husbands returned home depleted; wives used the mirrors not merely for vanity, but to reflect back to their husbands their true potential ("Look—you are so much greater than this slavery; you are worthy and capable"), reigniting desire, intimacy, and procreation—thus building "Tzivot Rabot" (vast legions) for the nation's survival.Rabbi Wolbe draws deep Mussar: the mirrors represent washing away self-doubt, limitations, and negative self-perception before divine service (just as Kohanim washed hands). A woman's role (and mother's especially) is to hold up that "mirror" to husbands and children—highlighting strengths, potential, and greatness to elevate them, not criticize. He shares a transformative story of a recovering addict who changed after accidentally seeing his degraded reflection ("This is not you—you're better"), paralleling how mothers (and wives) spotlight virtues to unlock excellence. The episode celebrates mothers' belief as the force behind achievements (e.g., Super Bowl players dedicating victories to Mom) and urges recognizing our limitless G-d-given potential—never self-limit, wash away doubt, and maximize talents._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 11, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Exhausted slave husbands returned home depleted; wives used the mirrors not merely for vanity, but to reflect back to their husbands their true potential ("Look—you are so much greater than this slavery; you are worthy and capable"), reigniting desire, intimacy, and procreation—thus building "Tzivot Rabot" (vast legions) for the nation's survival.Rabbi Wolbe draws deep Mussar: the mirrors represent washing away self-doubt, limitations, and negative self-perception before divine service (just as Kohanim washed hands). A woman's role (and mother's especially) is to hold up that "mirror" to husbands and children—highlighting strengths, potential, and greatness to elevate them, not criticize. He shares a transformative story of a recovering addict who changed after accidentally seeing his degraded reflection ("This is not you—you're better"), paralleling how mothers (and wives) spotlight virtues to unlock excellence. The episode celebrates mothers' belief as the force behind achievements (e.g., Super Bowl players dedicating victories to Mom) and urges recognizing our limitless G-d-given potential—never self-limit, wash away doubt, and maximize talents._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 10, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on March 11, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

Parshas Hachodesh

התוכן ההוראה מהענין שבולט כ"כ בכללות פרשיות ויקהל-פקודי היא פשוטה ביותר. תוכן פ' ויקהל-פקודי הוא: 1) הקהלת משה את בנ"י ומסרם את ציווי הקב"ה – שבפ' תרומה-תצוה – על נדבת עשיית והקמת המשכן וכליו והקרבת קרבנות וכו'. 2) "פקודי המשכן" – החשבון והסך-הכל של כל נדבות המשכן בפועל. 3) עשיית המשכן וכליו, הקמתו והקרבת הקרבנות בפועל. וכאן נשאלת שאלה כללית: לאחרי שבציווי הקב"ה למשה בפ' תרומה-תצוה כבר נכתבו כל הפרטים ופרטי-פרטים, מדוע במסירת משה את הדברים לבנ"י בפ' ויקהל חוזרת התורה עוה"פ על כל הפרטים, וחוזרת על כל הפרטים עוה"פ בפ' פקודי בחשבון נדבות המשכן בפועל, ועוה"פ בעשיית המשכן וכליו הקמתו וכו' בפועל – ולא נאמר בקיצור שמשה מסר לבנ"י ושבנ"י עשו ככל אשר צוה ה' את משה וכיו"ב?! מכיון שהשאלה היא בולטת, צריכה גם ההוראה להיות פשוטה וגלוי' [המשך יבוא]ב' חלקים משיחת מוצש"ק פ' ויקהל-פקודי, מבה"ח ניסן, פ' החודש ה'תשל"ט ל"הנחה פרטית" או התרגום ללה"ק של השיחה: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-03-2026 Synopsis After the Torah already stated the many details of Hashem's command regarding the donations and the construction of the Mishkan in Terumah and Tetzaveh, why does the Torah repeat them again in Vayakhel, when Moshe conveys the command to the Jewish people, and again in Pekudei regarding the accounting of the donations etc., and again when describing the actual construction of the Mishkan? Why does it not simply state briefly that Moshe conveyed Hashem's command to the Jewish people, and they carried it out fully? Since the question is so obvious, the lesson must also be one that is simple and openly visible. (To be continued.)2 excerpts from sichah of Motzaei Shabbos Parashas Vayakhel-Pekudei, Parashas HaChodesh 5739 For a transcript in English of the Sicha: https://thedailysicha.com/?date=10-03-2026 לע”נ הרב אליעזר בן הרב מרדכי ע"ה ווענגער ליום היארצייט שלו כ"ב אדר. ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.נדבת משפחתו שי'

The Torah repeats the details of the Mishkan to emphasize that the ultimate revelation of the Divine comes not from the spiritual plan alone, but from its realization in the physical world. Tefillah is the ladder that lifts every part of a person—even the most mundane aspects of life—into connection with the Infinite. The concealment at the end of Sefer Shemos prepares the way for the deeper revelation that begins Sefer Vayikra, teaching that darkness itself becomes the catalyst for greater light. This class, taught by Rabbi Shais Taub, is based on Parshas Pekudei in Likkutei Sichos Vol. 1.

After the Torah delineates the instructions to assemble the materials for the construction of the Tabernacle in Parshas Terumah and the creation of the vestments of the high priest in Parshas Tetzaveh, Parshas Vayakhel outlines the implementation those plans: The massive fundraising efforts, and the actual building of the Tabernacle and its vessels under the […]

Again and again we read the refrain that everything was done precisely how God commanded Moses.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Who are the Erev-Rav and who is Amalek? How does Amalek define world politics and how can we fight it? The whole world is a mess. Governments are collapsing. The world order is collapsing. How is global chaos going to affect each of us? How can we deal with panic and uncertainty? How is all of this part of the Divine Plan? And how is it detailed in the Zohar?

In this conversation with Rabbanit Nechama Goldman Barash we discuss the contradictions and changes in Yechezkel's futuristic Temple vision from the Torah's accounts of the Temple from this week's Haftorah. We explore the ways commentators throughout the generations have grappled with this issue. This episode has been sponsored in memory of David Shmuel ben Yitzchak. This year the Matan Podcast is exploring the weekly Haftorah.

The kohanim couldn't become kohanim without Moshe.

While the first seven days of the Mishkan were a "dry run" where Moshe had to do everything, the eighth day was the start of the actual mission. On this day, the Kohanim were empowered to take ownership of their service. Moshe dressed them only in the Ketonot to initiate their status, leaving the rest to them. However, for Aharon the High Priest, whose service brought the Infinite Light into the Tabernacle, Moshe remained fully involved, dressing him in every garment to ensure the Shechinah found its permanent home. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/026/016_003
