Parshat Vayakhel 5785 by Josh Rosenfeld

Living Emunah 2738 Parashat Pekudei: No Matter What In the beginning of parashat Pekudei, the Torah calls the Mishkan, the Mishkan of testimony. One of the things it testified to was Hashem's great love for us. The Mefarshim are bothered why the Torah repeats so much about the Mishkan in parashiyot Vayakhel and Pekudei, after they were already mentioned in Terumah Tetzaveh. Some explain the Jewish people were commanded to build a house for Hashem before they did the Chet Haegel. After they committed that grievous sin, they felt so distanced from Hashem and feared they would never be able to bring His presence down to dwell amongst them. However, after they made Teshuva, Hashem told Moshe to tell the Jewish people that He wants the exact same Mishkan built with every detail and that He was going to dwell with them. And that is why the details are repeated after the Chet Haegel. We see from here that no matter what a Jew does, Hashem always wants him back. We should never feel that because of our sins that Hashem doesn't want us. All we have to do is say that we are sorry and Hashem will be waiting with open arms, kavyachol, to bring us closer. Rabbi Snir Gueta told a story about a young woman named Shlomit. After years of waiting for a child, her parents were blessed with her birth. Tragically, a few years later, her mother fell ill and passed away, leaving her father to raise her alone. He tried his best to connect to his daughter and give her all the love and attention that he could. As she grew during her teenage years, she began drifting from the religious path that he was trying so hard to keep her on. As she got older, she drifted further until she was constantly arguing with her father about religion. She told him outright she was not interested in being religious. Her father kept telling her that he promised her mother that he would raise her to be a true Bat Yisrael, but she wouldn't change. One day she told her father she was leaving home and moving to India. Her father yelled at her, saying that she was being so insensitive, ignoring his request and leaving him all alone. She apologized for leaving him, but said she was going no matter what. Her father, in a moment of desperation, said to her, "If you leave, you are not welcome back. I will never forgive you for this." Her friends were waiting outside, and she left. She was in India for three years. At that time, one of her friends from Israel traveled there, and when she saw her, she hugged her, telling her how much she missed her. And then she gave her her condolences over the death of her father. Shlomit couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had no idea that her father passed away. She began crying uncontrollably, regretting the nonsense that she had been involved in over the past three years, completely abandoning her father and Hashem. She took the next flight back to Israel, and went straight to the cemetery, searching for her father's grave. When she finally found it, she sat there, crying, begging for him to forgive her. She said, "Please, Abba, I made the worst mistake. I will come back to Hashem now. All I want is for you to forgive me." She then went to the Kotel. She stood right by the mechitza between the men and women, and pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a note to Hashem, asking Him to please show her if her father forgave her for what she did. She put the note in the wall, and it immediately fell out. There was no room in any hole there for her note. She saw by the edge of the mechitza, in the men's section, an opening, and she put it there. When she put it down, another note fell out. She picked it up, and saw the name Shlomit bat Chana. She opened it, and began to read, and started to tremble. It said, "Borei olam, my daughter is in India, please bring her back to Teshuva. Her name is Shlomit Bat Chana. If I could talk to her right now, I would tell her that I forgive her for everything. All I want is for her to come back to You, Hashem." Shlomit broke out in tears, and thanked Hashem, and fully came back to Torah and Mitzvot. A human father is willing to take his daughter back, no matter what she does. All the more so, Hakadosh Baruch Hu wants every one of His children back, no matter what they have done. Hashem loves and wants every Jew close to Him. All we have to do is be sincere. Shabbat Shalom.

So much of the Mishkan's beauty was totally hidden, this is not accidental but rather intentionally done and there is a major lesson we can learn from it.

Parshas Vayakhel: Beyond the Moment Why does the Torah pause the Mishkan's construction to emphasize Shabbos? The Ohr HaChaim teaches that Shabbos elevates our work, infusing it with divine purpose. True success isn't just effort—it's aligning with G-d's plan.

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?

Ramban on the Torah | 5785 | 21 | Vayakhel, by Rav Eli Weber How did the artisans who built the mishkan know what to do? Why did the women give first for the Mishkan?

Send us a textWhat extraordinary abilities might be lying dormant within you, waiting to be awakened? The ancient Jewish concept of "Nosoi Libo" (raising one's heart) reveals a profound truth about human potential that's as relevant today as it was when the Mishkan was built thousands of years ago.When the Israelites needed to construct the Tabernacle, they faced a seemingly impossible challenge. After generations of slavery, no one possessed the sophisticated craftsmanship skills required. Yet remarkably, individuals stepped forward, their hearts stirred to volunteer despite having no experience. As Ramban (Nachmanides) beautifully explains in Parshas Vayakel, these people discovered within their very DNA talents they never knew they possessed—simply because they had the courage to say "I'll do it" first.This pattern repeats throughout Jewish history. The Rambam (Maimonides) undertook writing the entire Torah in clear, accessible language—an almost unimaginable task that resulted in the monumental Mishneh Torah. Modern examples abound too, like the mother who lifted a one-ton car to save her trapped son, accessing superhuman strength through sheer necessity and commitment.The wisdom here is counterintuitive yet powerful: we don't volunteer for tasks because we're capable; rather, we discover our capabilities by volunteering first. Opportunity and accountability precede the revelation of ability. This principle applies to everything from addressing communal challenges like the shidduch crisis to personal growth in Torah learning—success follows initiative, not the other way around.Are you curious what might be encoded in your spiritual DNA? What talents remain undiscovered because you haven't yet raised your heart to say "I'll find a way"? Take on responsibility, commit yourself to worthy causes, and watch as previously unknown abilities emerge. As our ancestors who built the Mishkan discovered, the question isn't if you'll succeed, but when.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

Think Shabbat is all about turning things off? Think again. This week's Torah portion, Vayakhel, offers a unique perspective on Shabbat observance. While the prohibition of lighting fires is explicitly mentioned, it's just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Let's explore how Shabbat has evolved over time and continues to change in our modern world of LED lights and electric vehicles. Key Takeaways We're empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with how we observe Shabbat. There's no single "correct" way to observe – different communities and individuals may have valid approaches. The spirit of Shabbat – rest, rejuvenation, and connection – is just as important as the technical details. We can look for ways to enhance our Shabbat experience that align with both tradition and our modern lives.

In this week's parsha, the Israelites are faced with a pretty steep challenge: How do you bounce back from the sin of the Golden Calf? But instead of some cathartic, head-turning moment, we receive what sounds like a repetition of the instructions on how to build the Mishkan, God's temporary dwelling place on earth. Why tell us things we've already heard? And what can this repetition teach us about bringing God's divine wisdom down here to earth? Tune in to find out.
