The pasuk says at the end of parashat B'shelach that Hashem is at war with Amalek מדור דור – in every generation. And Chazal tell us that this war will last until Mashiach . When Hashem performed the great miracles at Yetziat Mitzrayim , He wanted the world to know that He did not just create it, but is actively involved in everything that goes on in it. All the nations of the world got the message except for Amalek who attacked the Jewish People and succeeded in casting doubt on the fact that Hashem runs the world. Hashem said that His Throne will not be complete until the memory of Amalek is eradicated. One of the ways in which we could fight this battle is by recognizing the extent of how much Hashem is involved in the world and in our lives. The pasuk says in parashat Terumah והקימות את המשכן כמשפטו– there was a command to erect the Mishkan according to what is just. The Yerushalmi asks the question, is there justice by planks of wood? And the Gemara there answers, yes because each plank was placed in a certain spot and that would be its permanent spot. Later Rabbis explained, being in the South represented wisdom and Torah, while being in the North represented wealth. Even the inanimate planks of wood were governed by a special plan of Hashem of where each one needed to be for its purpose in the world. As the generations progressed, our understanding of the extent of Hashem's hashgacha has become greater and greater. The Baal Shem Tov taught us that Hashem is involved in the exact location that every single leaf which comes off every tree falls to. Every granule of sand on every beach is placed in its location b'hashgacha pratit . And if this is how it is with inanimate objects, imagine how far Hashem's hashgacha extends in our lives. Rabbi Menashe Reizman gave a few examples to help us understand better the extent of it. When a person goes over to a tissue box and takes a tissue to blow his nose, and then 20 minutes later, someone else takes the next tissue, it was because it was determined in Shamayim that the first tissue, which had a certain spark of kedusha that was compatible with the first person's shoresh neshama specifically needed to be taken by him. And the same applied for the next person. When someone goes to the grocery store and has a selection of 50 bottles of milk to choose from, Hashem guides the person to pick the one that specifically his family needs to drink. We know an animal gets elevated when it gets slaughtered properly and is eaten with the right beracha and used to nourish a person performing Torah and mitzvot. When a person goes to the butcher and selects a package of meat, it is all done b'hashgacha depending on which piece of meat is fit for him and his family, depending on the tikkunim that need to be made in it. Some people like spicy foods, some sour, some sweet. Every person's taste buds were given to him b'hashgacha , according to what he needs to eat in his lifetime. Hashem is infinite. It doesn't take any more effort on His part to keep track of all of these fine details. And when we recognize how much Hashem is involved, even in these seemingly insignificant parts of life, it'll help us if we ever begin to question the bigger things. Why did that person get the job and not me? Why did that person get the house and not me? How much more so are our jobs and homes determined by Hashem, based on each person's purpose in the world. Every single individual has a unique mission and one person's mission has nothing to do with the other's. It is only Hashem guiding each person to what he needs to fulfill his purpose. We must strengthen our belief in Hashem's hashgacha and eradicate all of the ill effects of what Amalek was trying to accomplish. We are now in the days that are auspicious for geula and Chazal tell us it will be in the merit of emunah which brings about our ultimate redemption. May Hashem help us believe in His involvement in every aspect of life.

Melave Malka at Rabbi Burger's Shul in Baltimore: The approach of the Yosef Lekach to Ad d'Lo Yodah - to forget the Chorban! Insights into the Neis of Purim and what it means to us.
God gave specific instructions for the meeting place He desired His people to build. Very specific! So specific that many people gloss over or skip these “Tabernacle” chapters all together. Would God spend so much time explaining something that had no value? Of course not, but what is the value, especially today? Let's find out together.

Parshas Terumah, young for life This week's Parsha Perspective is in honor of the immediate and speedy recovery of Daniel Aaron Chaim Ben Ruth. May he and all those who need a Refuah Shlema experience G-d's mercy and compassion swiftly! This week's Parsha Perspective is in loving memory of Edward Ben Efraim, Shlomo Ben Edward, and Yirachmiel Daniel Ben Gedalia. May their souls be uplifted and their memories a blessing. Click here to listen, watch and connect! Parshaperspective.com Our Parsha begins with G-d telling Moshe to solicit donations from the Jewish people to construct the Mishkan, a sanctuary for G-d. They were asked to donate precious stones, gold, silver, and copper. Specialty red, blue, and purple wool, linen, animal skins, and acacia wood. We find out about the Cheruvim that were on top of the Aron Hakodesh. We learn why we must stay youthful and childlike in many aspects of our life.
This week's parsha is about the creation of the menorah. The menorah was destined to be made through miracles. So why did Hashem give Moshe instructions on how to make it? What was the purpose of Moshe's effort? Knowing the balance between bitachon and hishtadlus is something we all struggle with. Health, shidduchim, parnassah...how much effort should I do? What if too much histadlus is driving me crazy? Wouldn't a real baal bitachon leave it all to Hashem? In this clarifying shiur, Rabbi Shafier exposes some crucial misconceptions. If you're wondering how to balance your life according to the Torah, this Shmuz is for you. You'll learn how to set goals, make money and pay those bills- without losing sight of the ratzon Hashem.

As a creature that spends most of its time in the air, birds are quite unrelatable to us human beings. Yet, for some reason, Jewish wisdom teaches that the Jewish people are actually compared to birds.

What are the real causes of shame and self-consciousness and what can be done to overcome them? The answer lies in understanding the mysterious "tachash" animal (sometimes translated as a unicorn) whose colorful skins were used to decorate the sanctuary in the wilderness.
