Parshas Terumah (5772)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
One of the most awesome difficulties is the elaboration of our sedra in the details of the construction of the Mishkan, something which is only pertinent to Moshe Rabeinu and a selected group of the builders. To the contrast of tefilin for example which is pertinent to every single Jew which even the name of tefilin is only hinted to in the Torah. Secondly the Mishkan itself was only pertinent for the initial period of the history of Klal Yisroel and never again was there any practical use for it. On the other hand so many other mitzvos which we fulfill all the time and there is hardly any mention of them.
For any of us that are really troubled by this difficult question perhaps you will have Divine assistance to some insight for the answer.
The light of the menora is the revelation of the light of the Shchinah that is always around us and with devotion and sincerity all of us can connect to.
Have a wonderful Shabbos and good Chodesh.
