Parashat Vayakhel
Exodus 35:1 - 38:20

 

Dear Friends,

On my dresser I have an item that draws my granddaughter’s attention every time she visits. It has drawn her attention since she was around two. Now, as a big girl of five, it is her favorite object on that dresser -- a small silver mirror that is part of a set. A hand mirror is a very intriguing object. It is shiny and we can see ourselves reflected from many different angles.

This week’s Torah portion Vayakhel, "And He Assembled" (Exodus 35:1-38:20, 30:11-16), primarily focuses on the people’s role in building the transportable sanctuary for the Divine: the Mishkan. Although the portion begins by telling us that we are to rest on Shabbat and not labor, the rest of the portion focuses on the role of the people in creating the Mishkan and providing the supplies needed to complete the task.
