RABBI SHLOMO CARLEBACH ON PARSHAT TRUMA PART 2

This Shabbos we read that G-d told Moshe tell the children of Israel to give gifts to build the Holy Temple. This gift is called Truma. Now open your hearts like mad. Do you know what Truma means? Truma means a gift, but it has two more meanings. Truma comes from the word Leromem, to raise high. Truma also comes from the word which means Lehavdil, to separate. On a simple level it means that if I have ten dollars and I give five dollars for the Holy Temple, so I separate this five dollars from the other five dollars. And when I am giving it for a high purpose it means that I was able to Leharim, to make it high. Okay, this is all beautiful, but it's got to get a little deeper than that.
