CHASSIDIC PEARLS BY RABBI LAZER BRODY PARSHAS VAYAKEL AND PEKUDAI(BONUS DOUBLE PARSHA)

Parshat Vayakhel Seeing and Hearing the Tzaddik, First-hand "Moshe (Moses) assembled the entire congregation of the Children of Israel and said to them, 'These are the things that God commanded you, to do them: Work shall be done on six days, but the seventh day shall be holy for you'" (Shmot 35:1). The above passage raises several questions: First, why did Moshe go to the lengths of assembling the entire Jewish nation? Second, why did Moshe insist that parents bring all their children, including newborn babies? And third, of all the laws of the Torah, why did Moshe insist in personally informing the entire populace of the Sabbath?

BRESLEV.CO.IL BONUS DIVAR TORAH Rabbi Winston Window Parshas Vayakel THE NEED FOR UNITY

Parshat Vayakhel Moshe assembled all the congregation of the Children of Israel, and said to them, "These are the words ..." (Shemos 35:1)Finally (for now), one more underlying concept behind this anomaly in the Torah may simply be to emphasize the need for Jewish unity. Nothing empowers the Jewish people more than when we rally around the banner of Torah as a unified whole. Fragmented, we become weak and vulnerable to all kinds of anti-Torah currents, as the account of the golden calf proved.

RAV KOOK PARSHAS VAYAKEL

Translated and abridged by Rabbi Chanan Morrison Parshat Vayakhel Do not ignite fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath(Ex. 35:3). The Torah forbids 39 different categories of activity on the Sabbath. Yet only one — lighting fire — is explicitly prohibited in the Torah. Why? Why does the Torah qualify the prohibition of lighting fire with the phrase, "in any of your dwellings"? Is it not forbidden to start a fire in any location? The control and use of fire is unique to humanity. It is the basis for our advances in science and innovations in technology. Even now, fuel sources for burning, coal and oil, are what power modern societies. In short, fire is a metaphor for our power and control over nature, the fruit of our God-given intelligence. What is the central message of the Sabbath? When we refrain from working on the seventh day, we acknowledge that God is the Creator of the world.
