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.

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.

For parashat Terumah, the Rabbis pair a Torah reading about Terumah, donation from the heart, with the account of Solomon's building of the first Temple, which was done using "mas," forced labor, the customary tax of the time. But wasn't that what was forced on the Israelites in Egypt, and to which much of the Torah is a direct response? Shouldn't we be just a little bit uncomfortable?

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into Parshas Tetzaveh, focusing on the garments (bigdei kehuna) of the Kohen Gadol (High Priest). He highlights the verse commanding Moshe to speak to the "wise-hearted" (chachmei lev) whom Hashem invests with wisdom to create these sacred vestments, questioning how former slaves in Egypt, unskilled in craftsmanship, could suddenly excel. The key insight: True wisdom stems from a deep desire (ratzon) for it, not prior education or skills—Hashem grants wisdom to those who seek it passionately, as per the Mishnah's definition of wisdom as learning from everyone without prejudice.Rabbi Wolbe illustrates this with modern and historical examples: Elon Musk's rapid mastery of cars and rockets despite no prior knowledge, driven by insatiable curiosity; Reb Elyashiv's fervent Torah study at age 102; Rav Moshe Feinstein's multiple completions of the Talmud (101 times, four cycles); and a Talmudic story responding to a Roman noblewoman's query on why wisdom goes to the wise—they're the ones who will use it productively. He contrasts this with mediocrity, urging never-ending pursuit of knowledge to avoid spiritual stagnation, and ties it to parenting: Instill a love for Torah from infancy (e.g., teaching "Torah Tziva Lanu Moshe" as first words) and encourage children's "why" questions to foster curiosity.The discussion extends to appreciating Hashem's daily miracles in nature (e.g., the apple's infinite potential), rejecting "mother nature" for divine command (mishpatei piv), and the Amidah's first request for wisdom. Ultimately, desire is the root of achievement—eternal in Torah vs. temporary in wealth or fame—warning against boredom leading to sin and advocating lifelong vitality through learning.

In this Parshas Terumah review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the practical meaning of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) command: “Make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in them” (Exodus 25:8)—not “in it,” but “in them” (the people). God doesn't need a house; the Mishkan is for building intimate closeness between Hashem and the Jewish people. The Temple (and today synagogues/study halls) is a place of relationship, security, and nurturing divine connection—not a distant monument.Key lessons & practical applications:The Mishkan's purpose — God wants to reside within us (V'shachanti b'tocham). The Holy of Holies had two cherubim facing each other (God & Israel); when Jews follow Torah, they face; when not, they turn away. The home/temple is for private, intimate time with God.Gratitude for seeing descendants — Sarah, Rivka, and Rachel never saw grandchildren; Leah likely saw Asenat. Today's privilege of seeing grandchildren/great-grandchildren is enormous—grandparents must influence positively without interfering (e.g., no naming veto; parents alone decide).Naming & prophecy — Parents receive prophetic guidance at birth/bris (alleged Midrash). Adding a second name (e.g., after deceased relative) is common. Spontaneous additions (like Rabbi's son Yehuda-Noach at bris) reflect divine inspiration.Jealousy vs. knowledge of Hashem — First commandment (“Anochi Hashem…”) and last (“Lo tachmod”) connect: coveting denies Hashem's perfect plan for you. Compare only to your own potential.Modern miracles & awe — Technology (smartphones, Neuralink) reveals Hashem's wonders—don't let them become routine. Israeli survival despite missiles is ongoing splitting of the sea.The rabbi urges bold Jewish pride (yarmulke/tzitzit/tefillin in public), relentless self-improvement, and living with awe: see daily yesh me'ayin (creation from nothing) and thank Hashem constantly._____________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 February 20, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 22, 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.

This week’s Torah portion from the annual cycle is a major ‘shift’ from the mainline story of the Exodus. After Moses heads up the mountain, for forty days and forty nights, the focus is now on getting ready to build something. And why? Why now? It’s almost like He knows something, before we get to that part of the story. It turns out, there’s even more to it than that. Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a provocative two-part look at parsha Terumah, Exodus chapter 25 through almost all of 27, which begins with the command from YHVH to “take for Me an OFFERING.” From a specific group of people, of a specific list of items, and for a specific purpose. The Erev Shabbat reading gives the details, of which there are many: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/SSM-2-20-Terumah-teaching-podcast-x.mp3 The impressive level of detail is this description is certainly one of the most memorable aspects of this parsha. It’s also at the heart of what might even be called ‘controversy.’ Why so much detail about a mobile tent in the wilderness? After all, it was later replaced by the temple, twice, and destroyed, twice. Some will again even claim that it’s “Old” testament, and therefore ‘done away with’ – like those temples. We may have even heard it called “boring.” And yet, as Mark reminds us in the Sabbath day midrash, there is “no idle word” in His Torah. Teruman: “That ‘boring DETAIL’ is a Big Flashing Red HTML tag – if we see it” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/WT-CooH-2-21-Terumah-The-ATBASH-around-Idolatry-and-the-Golden-Calf-then-and-Now-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

Rabbi Pinchas Allouche, head Rabbi at Congregation Beth Tefillah in Scottsdale, and the host of the Rabbi Allouche podcast, joins Seth for the full hour to talk about this week's Torah portion, known as Terumah. They explore the importance of focusing on the "art" rather than the "frame," using the example of a beautiful painting and its frame. Rabbi Allouche shares insights from the Torah portion, discussing the building of the tabernacle and the symbolism of God dwelling among His people. They also delve into the concept of being "made of one piece" and the value of giving and taking in relationships.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we enter the nineteenth weekly Torah portion, Terumah, which in Hebrew means “offering.” At this point in the Exodus story, the Israelites have just witnessed the dramatic crossing of the Red Sea and stood at the base of Mount Sinai to receive the covenant. They have been given the foundational instructions for living as set-apart people. Now, God has a plan for a communal building project. This leads us to wonder: Why did God need the Tabernacle? Why did the creator of the universe even allow for himself to be limited to a tent? Doesn't that mean God was condescending to the imagination of men and allowing himself to seem like all of Israel's neighbors' gods with their temples and altars? The truth is, God didn't need the Tabernacle. Man did. God used the Tabernacle to invite his people back through the gates of Eden. He desired to once again be in their midst, to be known by them and worshiped.Support the show

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 a Place for Hashem — Parashat Terumah

The pasuk says in this week's Parashat Terumah, וְעָשׂוּ לִי מִקְדָּשׁ וְשָׁכַנְתִּי בְּתוֹכָם Hashem commanded the Jewish people to make a Mishkan so that He could rest His Presence among them. Obviously, the Presence of Hashem cannot be contained in a physical building. Perhaps one of the lessons we can learn from here is that if we make a place for Hashem to come into our lives, He will reveal His Presence to us in ways that can transcend nature. How do we make that place? By believing in His control and His abilities. The Be'er HaParasha related a story that recently took place, heard directly from the man involved. A man whom we'll call Yehuda had just merited his first baby after four years of marriage. Last year on Chol HaMoed Pesach he was learning the sefer Netivot Shalom, and there he read that if a person has proper emunah — namely, that nothing is hard for Hashem and He can always help no matter what the issue is — then he can merit his own personal Keriat Yam Suf. The sefer advised having those thoughts and feelings especially on the seventh day of Pesach, when Keriat Yam Suf occurred. Yehuda came home that day very excited to put into practice what he had just learned. He was going to work on believing that Hashem can do anything, including giving him and his wife a baby. He also invited his sister to stay with them for Shevi'i shel Pesach, as she had been struggling with shidduchim for almost seven years. He wanted her to also have this emunah so she could have her very own Keriat Yam Suf as well. They read stories about emunah and statements of Chazal about Hashem, and they truly took to heart that Hashem could help them in an instant. They felt so strong in their emunah that they could already feel the joy of salvation. Now, less than a year later, on the Sunday of Parashat Beshalach, this sister celebrated her wedding. And on Tuesday of Parashat Beshalach, Yehuda and his wife celebrated the birth of their very first baby. True belief in Hashem's salvation can do wonders. A woman told me she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and was instructed to schedule surgery immediately to have it removed. The doctors sounded very negative and instilled a great deal of fear in her. She is a woman who learns emunah daily and refused to let the diagnosis overtake her. She focused on emunah, on Hashem, and on praying, and two weeks later the surgery was done. They told her they believed they removed everything, but she would need months of chemotherapy going forward. She asked them to please take a biopsy before starting any chemo. They told her it was ninety-nine percent certain cancer and she would definitely need treatment. She answered, "I am going to be from the one percent. Please check it." She then went and strengthened her emunah even more, reviewing articles she had saved about how doctors' prognoses are meaningless when it comes to Hashem. She even sent them to her family to strengthen them as well. At the next appointment she asked again if they had taken the biopsy. Once again they told her it was ninety-nine percent a problem, but they had done the test and were waiting for results. Once again she said, "Ninety-nine percent means there is one percent that it is fine, and I believe Hashem can put me in that one percent." The next day, Erev Shabbat, she received a call from one of the doctors who told her, "Your prayers must have been answered. Everything is fine. You don't need any chemotherapy." She felt the greatest feeling — the feeling of Hashem's salvation, the feeling that her emunah was rewarded. She was overwhelmed with gratitude. The more we want Hashem in our lives, the more He reveals Himself to us. Shabbat Shalom.

A single pasuk sparks a revolution: “Build Me a sanctuary so I may dwell among them.” We take that line seriously and ask sharper questions. What does it mean to build a house for the unhousable? Why did the Torah devote so much space to the Mishkan, the Beis HaMikdash, and the avodah? And most importantly, what does the mitzvah do to us?We explore the bigger picture with clear steps. First, the mandate and its scope: an unexpected portion of the 613 mitzvos revolves around the Temple, from offerings to purity laws to vessels. Then, the two main purposes highlighted by the Sefer HaChinuch: centralizing korbanos and uniting the nation through Aliyah L'Regel. We trace the story from Betzalel's portable Mishkan to Solomon's grandeur and the rebuilt Second Temple, anchoring it all in Jerusalem's permanent location. We also examine the classic debate on the future: Rambam's human-led construction under Mashiach versus Rashi and Tosafot's vision of a heavenly structure descending in fire.But the core of our discussion is the why. Using the Sefer HaChinuch and Ramban, we consider the Temple as a training ground where action shapes the soul. Pilgrimage becomes a form of education: long journeys, guarded gates, rising smoke, and hands on the offering—all designed to transform regret into renewal. We challenge a countercultural idea: mitzvos are the workout of the spirit, a precise regimen you can't outsource. Replace, don't repair, in a house of dignity; do, don't just study, when growth needs effort; and embrace the friction that shapes you—yes, even in the humble choice to hand-wrap mishloach manos rather than swipe a card.If you've ever wondered when we can rebuild, who must be present in the Land, what counts as “building,” or how the Ark fits into it all, this episode guides you through sources, history, and lived practice in one clear path. Listen, reflect, and then choose one mitzvah to “lift” with intention this week. If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review—what part of the Temple's purpose most surprised you?Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!------------------Check out our other Torah Podcasts and content!
