Rabbi Schoonmaker - Shem MiShmuel 59 - 5786 Teruma 02-19-26 by Shapell's Rabbeim
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:

Chelek 31, Teruma 1
Explanation of events and order of Parshiyot based on the debate between Rashi and Ramban
Parashat Teruma begins with G-d's command, "Ve'yikhu Li Teruma" – that Beneh Yisrael should donate materials toward the construction of the Mishkan. Surprisingly, Hashem here commands that the people donate toward this project with the word "Ve'yikhu," which means "They shall take." Instead of saying that the people should give, that they should donate, Hashem commands them to "take" a donation. This highlights a basic truism about charity – that by giving, we receive. When we give charity, when we donate toward a worthy cause, we receive far more than we give. We lose nothing, and we gain an incalculable amount. The merits earned through charitable donations are worth far more, and are infinitely more secure, than any financial asset. The rewards are both inestimable and guaranteed. But this understanding of the word "Ve'yikhu" actually runs even deeper. The Gemara in Masechet Kiddushin speaks of an exceptional case where a bride can be betrothed by giving, instead of receiving. The Halachic mechanism of Kiddushin, whereby a woman becomes formally betrothed to a man, requires the man to give the woman something of value. Of course, this is commonly done by giving the bride a ring. Normally, Kiddushin cannot be effectuated in the opposite manner, through the bride giving something to the groom. If the bride wishes to give the groom a gift, this must not be done as part of the Huppa ceremony, because it must be perfectly clear that the betrothal takes effect through the groom giving the ring to the bride. However, the Gemara establishes that if the groom is a distinguished person, such as a member of the royal court, then his bride can become betrothed to him through her giving him a gift. The reason, the Gemara explains, is that when an ordinary person gives a gift to a person of distinction, the giver derives great benefit by the recipient's acceptance of the gift. The satisfaction that comes from the distinguished person's consent to receive the gift outweighs the value of the gift. Therefore, if the groom is a man of distinction, the bride can become betrothed through the benefit she receives by the groom's acceptance of her gift, because by giving, the bride is actually receiving. This Halacha sheds new light on the command "Ve'yikhu Li Teruma." When we donate for a Misva purpose, we are, in essence, donating to Hashem, as it were. We are so-to-speak giving something to Hashem. Whether it's assisting a family in need, contributing to a charity fund, or supporting a synagogue of yeshiva, we are giving a gift to Hashem – who is, quite obviously, far more "distinguished" than any dignitary or prominent figure. And in this sense, we receive when we give. Anytime we have the opportunity to donate, we are given the privilege of giving a gift to Hashem. This is a privilege we should celebrate – and an opportunity that we should eagerly and enthusiastically seize as often as we can.
One of the strangest Torah lessons is that the moment you give something away, you often discover you've actually received far more. This morning we share important sources and practical examples showing the truth at the beginning of our Torah portion, Teruma, that when we give, we often receive much more. Ruth expresses this when she says she helped Boaz, when in fact it was Boaz who gave to her generously. We learn this from a moving quote from Henri J. M. Nouwen, and a great story from Rabbi Berel Wein's guest making a 2 a.m. phone call to a potential investor. Sometimes, letting someone do a favor or kindness for you is the best favor you can do for them. So when you are given that opportunity to give to or help another, say thank you!

Na Parashat Terumah, a Torá descreve a construção do Mishkan e seus utensílios sagrados. Entre eles está o altar do incenso (Mizbeach HaKetoret) — revestido de ouro puro. O fogo queimava o incenso diariamente, mas o ouro do altar permanecia intacto.A Chassidut ensina que esse detalhe não é apenas arquitetônico — é espiritual.O ouro que não se consome representa o âmago intocável da alma judaica.Assim como o altar era exposto ao fogo constante e ainda assim não se destruía, o vínculo essencial do judeu com Hashem jamais se rompe. Pode haver distanciamento externo, falhas comportamentais ou períodos de ocultação — mas a conexão essencial (etzem haneshamá) permanece pura.O incenso simboliza a dimensão mais interior da alma — aquela que não depende de lógica, mérito ou compreensão. É um laço ontológico, não emocional. Não é algo que se constrói; é algo que se revela.CURTIU A AULA?FAÇA UM PIX RABINOELIPIX@GMAIL.COM E NOS AJUDE A DARMOS SEQUÊNCIA!#chassidut #mistica#judaismo #Terumá #Parashá #Mishkan #Ketoret #AlmaJudaica #Chassidut #Neshamá #ConexãoEterna #Torá

Vayakhel | Teruma and Vayakhel: Repetition or Complement, by Rav Yair Kahn Vayakhel is almost a word for word repetition of parashat Teruma. However, Chazal noted a discrepancy regarding the order. What idea is being expressed by this sequential shift and how can it be reconciled with the order of parashat Teruma?
In this week's parasha, Teruma, Hashem told Moshe: דבר אל בני ישראל ויקחו לי תרומה -speak to the Jewish People and ask them to donate toward the construction of the Mishkan. The Ba'al HaTurim quotes a pasuk in Yeshayahu, דברו על לב ירושלים , to explain that here Hashem was asking Moshe to appease the Jewish people before requesting donations. Why? Because He was about to ask them to part with their money. The Da'at Shraga raises a perplexing question: All of the wealth that the Jews had—their gold, silver, and precious stones—came directly from Hashem. He made them rich in Mitzrayim and at the Yam Suf. Shouldn't they have had a natural sense of hakarat hatov and give happily? Especially considering how central hakarat hatov is to Judaism. We are called Yehudim because we acknowledge and express gratitude for the good we receive. The Midrash tells us that when Hashem commanded Moshe to go to Pharaoh and save Bnei Yisrael, Moshe first had to ask permission from Yitro. Why? Because Yitro had opened his home to him, and Moshe understood that someone who receives kindness must show hakarat hatov . Only after receiving Yitro's permission did Moshe go to redeem the Jewish people. This demonstrates how essential hakarat hatov is. So why did the Jews need to be appeased before giving back to Hashem? The Da'at Shraga answers that the Torah is teaching us a profound lesson. Of course, the Jewish people were obligated to show hakarat hatov and give generously—and indeed, they did! They contributed so much that Moshe had to tell them to stop because there was a surplus. However, the one who gives is not supposed to demand hakarat hatov . As the Chovot Halevavot teaches in Sha'ar Habitachon, when a person does a favor for someone else, he should never mention it again or make the recipient feel indebted. True giving must be unconditional. This principle does not exempt the recipient from showing gratitude, but hakarat hatov must come from the recipient's own initiative—it should never be expected by the giver. For this reason, Hashem asked Bnei Yisrael to donate as if He had never given them anything in the first place. Their hakarat hatov had to be purely from them. When we receive something, we owe hakarat hatov in two ways: First and foremost, to Hashem—because everything we receive ultimately comes from Him. Second, to the person who was chosen as Hashem's messenger to bring us this good. This concept is vital in maintaining strong relationships, particularly in marriage. Many spouses feel unappreciated, which causes them to lose motivation to continue giving. We must remind ourselves: Our reason for giving is because it is Hashem's will. When we give, we are serving Him. Hashem recognizes and rewards every act of giving, even if we receive no appreciation from others. At the same time, a spouse who receives should recognize and express gratitude for what the other does. A little appreciation provides tremendous chizuk and encourages even more giving. But receiving hakarat hatov is a bonus—it should not determine how we act. The Chovot HaLevavot further teaches that when a person gives l'shem shamayim , Hashem guarantees that he will ultimately receive the hakarat hatov he deserves. Our focus should always be on giving without expecting anything in return. And when we live this way, Hashem ensures that we receive what is truly best for us. Shabbat Shalom.
