Parshas Terumah (5773)
by Mordechai Dolinsky
It is very difficult to understand that in our sedra the pesukim themselves go into great detail in the commandments of the building of the Mishkan. These details were only pertinent for the builders of the Mishkan to be knowledgeable of. On the other hand there are many mitzvos that pertain to everyone yet there are not details whatsoever even mentioned in the Torah itself such as Tefilin which is so complicated and has so many details. We must say that the Torah wants all the individuals in Klal Yisroel to be familiar with the structure of the Mishkan and have a picture in our minds of its appearance, including the vessels.

Perhaps this is because the Mishkan was the place where the Shchinah came down to the world, which means it was the source of all bracha to the world. Everything we are and have comes through there. Therefore it was Hashem’s Will that we recognize this and be connected to this holy edifice.

We would sure to fulfill our obligations, be marbeh the simcha in Adar, doing things that bring us happiness. We should once again see for ourselves and Klal Yisroel great yeshuos in this month of Adar. Have a wonderful and joyous week.
