The Total CHUR-bin of the Egel

By |2016-02-26T10:21:00+02:00February 26th, 2016|Categories: Rav's Blog|Tags: , |0 Comments

The Chizkuni (31:2) notes that when the Torah introduces us to Betzalel, he is introduced as “Betzalel son of Uri son of Chur”—three generations—yet when the Torah tells us the lineage of Eliav it only mentions one generation “son of Achisomach.” Why was it necessary to mention “Chur” who was Betzalel’s grandfather? Chur was involved [...]

החוֹר בלי חוּר

בעל החיזקוני (31:2) מביא לתשומת ליבנו עובדה מעניינת. כשהתורה מציגה לנו את שני בעלי המלאכה של המשכן, ישנו הבדל בין אופי ההצגה. בצלאל, מוצג עם ייחוס של שלשה דורות (בן אורי בן חור) לעומת אליאב, שמוצג רק עד אביו, אחיסמך. הסיבה לכך, אומר בעל החיזקוני, היא שהמשכן בא לכפר על חטא העגל. במעשה חטא העגל, [...]

זקוק לזקוק

וְיִקְחוּ אֵלֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן זַיִת זָךְ כָּתִית לַמָּאוֹר (שְׁמוֹת כז:כ) המדרש [תנחומא:ג] מעיר שעל פי רוב, אנשים משתמשים בשמן יותר צלול למאכל ופחות צלול למאור. ואילו כאן, התורה מכתיבה לנו סדר עדיפויות הפוך. השמן הכי צלול (זך וכתית) היה מיועד למאור, ואולם השמן הפחות ממנו בדרגת הצלילות (זך, אבל לא כתית) היה לשימוש עם המנחות ולבסוף [...]

וְיִקְחוּ אֵלֶיךָ שֶׁמֶן זַיִת זָךְ כָּתִית לַמָּאוֹר (שְׁמוֹת כז:כ) “That they shall take for you pure olive oil, pressed for illumination” (Exodus 27:30) The Medrash Tanchuma (3) makes the following comment on this pasuk: “Normally, people use the higher grade of oil (zayis zach) for cooking and the lower grade of oil for lighting. Here, the Torah gave [...]

Uncollectable Debts

...וְיִקְחוּ לִי תְּרוּמָה. מֵאֵת כָּל אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִדְּבֶנּוּ לִבּוֹ (שמות פרק כה:ב-ג) Hakadosh Baruch Hu asks Klal Yisrael to “take a terumah for me.” Chazal point out that Hakadosh Baruch Hu did not demand terumah, rather, as the pasuk notes “all with a giving heart.“ I saw a question “Why does Hakadosh Baruch Hu ask that [...]
