Hi friend,

This coming Shabbat's Torah portion, read on Saturday, March 14th, is Vayakhel. Moses gathers the Jews and relays to them all the details regarding the construction of the Tabernacle and its vessels. The actual construction is also described.

This week's thoughts by our new teacher Dr. Benny Benjamin talks about Spinning goat hairs: Passion or purpose? Check it below.

Last week, our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer talked about "Ki Tisa". Watch it below.

We are delighted to share our lesson Vayakhel with our teacher Sondra Baras. Learn it here.

We are also delighted to share our lesson First Five Names of God with our teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer. Learn it here.

Check below to hear what Dr Richard Booker and Gidon
Ariel have to say. Watch it below.

We sign off with a nice comment and a beautiful photo of the Negev Desert, Israel.

Shalom,
Gidon Ariel and Bob O’Dell

Parashat Vayakhel

This portion repeats many of the details described in the portion of Terumah, wherein G‑d instructed Moses how the Tabernacle and its vessels were to be constructed.

Our popular Root Source teacher Rabbi Gedalia Meyer has been giving short weekly teaching on the Weekly Portion for the Temple Institute.

We are grateful to our friends at the Temple Institute who have allowed us to provide Rabbi Meyer’s teachings here too.

Conversations:

Dr Richard Booker and Gidon Ariel

Here are some of the things that Gidon and Dr. Richard talked about:

Purim in Israel and with Christians
Important statements in the book of Esther, first and foremost “at a time such as this” – what is your purpose?
“Don’t think that you can hide in the palace”
If you don’t try – God will send salvation from another source.
Purim reminds us to stand with the Jewish People.
If you try to fight the Jews – you will surely fall.
The mention of God is absent from the Book of Esther, but his impact is on every page.
