Listen to this shiur · 11 min The passuk describes Betzalel as filled with chachma, t’vuna, da’as to build the mishkan. This is a very interesting skill set. Did we need all these for the building? Does it make him a better craftsman? What is the role of all three? We know Betzalel had some … Read more
Listen to this shiur · 10 min The parsha is primarily focused on Bigdei Kehuna, but towards the end we have the Mizbe’ach haKetores, which clearly doesn’t belong. It’s not a begged. If anything it belongs in last week’s parsha where we spoke about the keilim. So, what’s it doing in our parsha? And even … Read more
Listen to this shiur · 11 min We find the Shulchan has a din of “Tamid” like we find be other keilim – but the “Tamid” is different. There’s the Tamid of the Menorah where it says לְהַעֲֹלת נֵר ּתָמִיד. There’s the Tamid of the Mizbe’ach which says אֵׁש ּתָמִיד ּתּוקַד עַל ַהַּמִזְּבֵח. But then … Read more
Listen to this shiur · 9 min This parsha has one of the many parshios of Shabbos in the Torah. And each parsha gives us a k’neitch in how we’re supposed to relate to Shabbos. By other parshios, we have an explanation for why HKBH made Shabbos. One says that it’s the day Hashem was … Read more
Listen to this shiur · 14 min The parsha gives us numerous Dinei Mamonus, and we generally relate to dinei mamonus in a balabatish way – that since people need to buy stuff for food or clothing or shelter, m’mayla they need to work, and HKBH created a framework of Dinei Mamonus to address various … Read more

Listen to this shiur · 12 min We have the parsha of Shabbos which is introduced via the Mon. When Klal Yisroel asks for food HKBH tells Moshe: {ד} וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָֹה אֶל מֹשֶׁה הִנְנִי מַמְטִיר לָכֶם לֶחֶם מִן הַשָּׁמָיִם וְיָצָא הָעָם וְלָקְטוּ דְּבַר יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ לְמַעַן אֲנַסֶּנּוּ הֲיֵלֵךְ בְּתוֹרָתִי אִם לֹא: {ה} וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי וְהֵכִינוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר … Read more
Listen to this shiur · 8 min Vay’daber Hashem el Moshe Laimor. This recurring passuk first appears in our parsha. It’s often glossed over.
