Parshas Terumah Inspiration

Posted on February 25, 2025February 25, 2025 By parsha
Parshas Terumah Inspiration

In this week’s Parsha, the Jews were instructed to build a Mishkan. The pasuk says that Hashem said, “V’Asu Li Mikdash v’Shachanti b’Socham” – “And they shall make me a Mishkan and I shall dwell in them.” There is an obvious question here. The wording in this pasuk seems incorrect. Seemingly, Hashem should have said…

Parshas Mishpatim: People of Holiness

Parshas Mishpatim: People of Holiness

In this week’s Parsha the Torah commands us to be Anshei Kodesh – “people of holiness.” There is a question here. Other times, the pasuk says to be holy. How come over here the pasuk says to be “people” of holiness? Wouldn’t it make sense for the pasuk to simply say to be holy? Isn’t…

Parshas Vayechi

In this week’s Parsha, Yaakov passes away. The Shevatim were very nervous. They were afraid of a vendetta from Yosef. They suspected that previously Yosef was only kind to them because their father was alive. However, now that their father passed away, they thought that Yosef might retaliate and fight against them after what they…

In this week’s Parsha, in the midst of Yaakov Avinu’s travels, the sun prematurely set, and Yaakov went to sleep. He suddenly had a dream.
