Today in History: King Jehoiachin was brought out of Babylonian prison (see Jeremiah 52:31–34). It seems he was not completely freed until two days later (see 2 Kings 25:27–30). Shabbat HaChodesh (Sabbath of the New Month) is the last Sabbath before the month of Nisan. Passover is celebrated in Nisan and a special reading about the new month and Passover is added (see Exodus 12).This week's portion is called Vayak'hel - Pekudei (He Assembled - Countings)TORAH PORTION: Exodus 40HAFTARAH: Ezekiel 45:16–46:18APOSTLES: Matthew 21:12–17How does the Haftarah connect to this week's Torah Portion?How do the Apostles connect to this week's Torah Portion?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

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?

Today in History: In about 41 CE, King Agrippa I began repairing and building up the walls of Jerusalem. This made the Jewish people glad. (The king's death is described in Acts 12:20–23, and his son and daughter are mentioned in Acts 25:13.)

Then hismother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a carved image and a molded image; and they were in the house of Micah.5The man Micah had a shrine and made an ephod and household idols; and heconsecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. 6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”

Vayak'heil & Pekudei are known for their seeming redundancy. Why does the Torah repeat so many details? There is a parallel to the Torah's 'Mishkan Series' in the Haftaros which discuss the construction of the first Beis HaMikdash. If we follow each stage of the series, we will identify three stages of the building process which can explain the Torah's strange attention to detail.

While Terumah begins the 'Mishkan Series' of the Torah, its Haftarah actually begins its own 'Mikdash Series.' This series will continue with the Haftaros of Vayak'heil and Pekudei. Why are there so many Mishkan Parshiyos? Why so much repetition? Might an answer be found in the Haftaros?

This is hethat was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him inthe mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give untous:Acts 19:33,34 Some of the crowd prompted Alexander, whom the Jews hadput forward. And Alexander, motioning with his hand, wanted to make adefense to the crowd. But when they recognized that he was a Jew, for abouttwo hours they all cried out with one voice, Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!Acts 19:35,41 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, Menof Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians istemple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from thesky? And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Rabbi Ken teaches from Parasha Reading for Vayak'hel: Exodus 35:1-38:20. In this week's Torah portion, after the episode with the Golden Calf, Moses returns to the work of the Lord by gathering resources to construct the Tabernacle. Moses asks the people to freely offer what they had if they were stirred by the Lord. The people were moved and showed true repentance over their previous idolatry by giving liberally to the work of the Lord. Moses then asks for skilled artisans and craftsmen to rise up and use their abilities for the next step in the plan of building the Tabernacle. The Lord calls Betzalel and Oholiav as leaders to oversee a team of able and talented workers to assist them in this endeavor. Each and every part and detail of the Tabernacle was important and sacred. God's holiness, attention to detail and order, creativity, and His greater plan of atonement, is clearly seen all throughout this Parashat. For believers indwelt by the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit), we are now the Temple of the Ruach! May the Lord stir us up to love and good works as we use our different talents and gifts for Him! May we be led and empowered by His Spirit to make His name great and point others to Him, not from compulsion but out of a heart of gratitude and love!
In this weeks Torah Portion we learn an important lesson about using the special abilities and talents that G-d gave us What special talents do you have?
