ויקהל

ממוקם היטב

וַיְצַ֣ו מֹשֶׁ֗ה וַיַּעֲבִ֨ירוּ ק֥וֹל בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה֮ לֵאמֹר֒ אִ֣ישׁ וְאִשָּׁ֗ה אַל־יַעֲשׂוּ־ע֛וֹד מְלָאכָ֖ה... (שמות לו:ו) המושג עשיית "מלאכה" בשבת מתפרש בדרך כלל כעשיית "עבודה". כאשר לומדים את ההלכות, מתוודעים לכך שפירוש זה אינו מדויק, ומשמעות טובה יותר תהיה עשיית "עבודה יצירתית". העברת חפצים כבדים עשויה לשרוף קלוריות רבות, אך אינה נקראת מלאכה, ללא קשר למידת הקושי והמאומצת שעשויה [...]

Well Placed

“Moshe commanded and they thereupon had this proclamation made throughout the camp: ‘Let no man or woman make further effort…’” (Shemos 36:6) In English the concept of doing “melacha” on Shabbos is generally translated as doing “work”. When one studies the halachos, one becomes aware that that translation is a little inaccurate, and a better [...]

הכסף חשוב?

"וַיַּ֜עַשׂ אֶֽת־כָּל־כְּלֵ֣י הַמִּזְבֵּ֗חַ אֶת־הַסִּירֹ֤ת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִים֙ וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֔ת אֶת־הַמִּזְלָגֹ֖ת וְאֶת־הַמַּחְתֹּ֑ת כָּל־כֵּלָ֖יו עָשָׂ֥ה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃" (שמות לח:ג) הפסוק אומר לנו שהכלים ששימשו לעבודת הקרבנות במשכן היו עשויים מנחושת, במקום מזהב. הברטנורא (תמיד ה: ה) אומר "אבל לא היה חותה בשל זהב, כדי שלא תתקלקל, והתורה חסה על ממונן של ישראל", שמכיוון שכלים היו בשימוש כבד ונשחקים מהר, ה' חס [...]

On The Money

He made all the utensils of the altar—the pails, the scrapers, the basins, the flesh hooks, and the fire pans; he made all these utensils of copper. (Shemos 38:3) The verse tells us that the auxiliary vessels that were used for the altar sacrifices in the Tabernacle were made of copper, as opposed to gold. [...]

The Real Winner

“Everyone who is generous of heart brought armband and nose-ring and finger-ring and kumaz. All sorts of gold ornaments.

לנצח באמת

"וַיָּבֹאוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים, עַל-הַנָּשִׁים; כֹּל נְדִיב לֵב, הֵבִיאוּ חָח וָנֶזֶם וְטַבַּעַת וְכוּמָז כָּל-כְּלִי זָהָב, וְכָל-אִישׁ, אֲשֶׁר הֵנִיף תְּנוּפַת זָהָב לַה" (שמות לה:כב) התורה מספרת לנו על התרומות שניתנו בשני סיבובים: בראשון, אלה שהיו נדיבי לב, ובשני אותם אנשים שהניפו את הזהב לה'. החתם סופר מסביר שההבדל בין השניים נבע מגישות שונות בעבודת ה'. יש סיפור שמסופר [...]

‘Pure’ Gold

35:22 …Everyone who is generous of heart brought on them a nose ring, a finger ring, and kumaz – all sorts of gold ornaments – every man who raised up an offering of gold unto Hashem.
