Parsha with Rabbi David Bibi

The Mishkan was finally complete. The nation looked at the magnificent work with great joy, and Moshe was proud. So proud, in fact, that he did something that he only did once more– just before his death: he blessed the entire nation. Actually, the erection of a Mishkan was the greatest blessing in itself. Hashem had promised the Jewish nation in Parshas Terumah, “Build me a Mishkan— and I will dw...

Moshe said to Yehoshua, “Choose people for us and go do battle with Amalek; tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill”. (17:9) וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֤ה אֶל־יְהוֹשֻׁ֙עַ֙ בְּחַר־לָ֣נוּ אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְצֵ֖א הִלָּחֵ֣ם בַּעֲמָלֵ֑ק מָחָ֗ר אָנֹכִ֤י נִצָּב֙ עַל־רֹ֣אשׁ הַגִּבְעָ֔ה וּמַטֵּ֥ה הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים בְּיָדִֽי׃ בחר לנו אנשים. היה עמלק גדול בחכמת האצטגנינות ובחר אנשי מלחמתו אנשים שלא יוכלו למות בשנה ההיא כי הוא ידע...

  מיהו השליח ציבור מצד בחינתו יש לו כח יותר בהשלמה זו של כפל שלוש תיבות הנזכרות ולכן אם האדם מתפלל עם צבור שיש שם שליח ציבור עומד ישמע הכפל מן השליח ציבור והוא אינו צריך לכפול אלא רק יכוין להשלים רמ'ח שלו מן שמיעתו הכפל מהשליח ציבור      Go back to introduction   And I will make a distinction between My people and your people.

  This lack of connection and how, in these few short hours, “Shemot Rabbah 52,2 relates that the scoffers amongst the Jews ridiculed the idea that Hashem would take up residence in a structure made by Moses. From this we see that not only did the Gentiles not credit the idea that the G-d of the Heavens had come down to earth, but even some of the Jews could not believe this. Accordingly, eve...

  Even though Noach was a tzaddik; nevertheless, he resembled the olive that keeps its oil trapped inside. He did not make an effort to venture out and teach his generation the ways of the Torah and its mitzvot. In contrast, Moshe Rabeinu resembled olive oil; he taught Torah to all of Yisrael. Thus, in his gilgul, he rectified Noach’s flaw.   HKB”H wanted them to light the menorah with o...

  דַּבֵּר֙ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְיִקְחוּ־לִ֖י תְּרוּמָ֑ה         Eben Ezra The words ve-yikchu li (that they take for Me) is similar to the form surah elai (turn in to me) (Jud. 4:18). Surah elai means turn from your place and come to me. Ve-yikchu li has a similar connotation. It means let him take from what he owns and give it to me. The same is true of Fetch me...
