This week's portion continues a discussion of the collection of public money for the building of the Tabernacle. But beyond the half shekel that each member of the community contributes as a census, there is also the opportunity to contribute voluntarily -- and without limit.
The portion describes the instructions for building the Ark of the Covenant and other holy items used for worship. Everything was carefully designed, planned, and created,, including the curtains around the Tabernacle that divided sacred from mundane.
The additional reading, which includes Kings I 5:26 - 6:13, describes the building of the Temple itself in the time of Solomon. The reading ends with God's admonition that he will dwell in the Temple just as long as the people keep all of the commandments (Kings I 6:12).
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
