Shalom!

With the golden calf experience behind them, and the opportunity for a second chance offered to them, the children of Israel must have wondered what exactly they were to do next.  Moshe was quick to fill the void, gathering them together and giving them precise directions - keep the Sabbath, joyfully bring contributions for the Tabernacle, be willing to share your talents, and begin construction.  All was to be done in the spirit of unity.  We will read the results of following these directions next week - the glory of YHWH will be in their midst.  Vayakhel 2019 discusses what we can learn today from the Almighty's directions in order to be a community readied for the power of the Holy Spirit to be in our midst.

It is the time of year to visit Israel's south.  There's been a lot of rain and the flowers are in bloom.  For fields that were charred last year by the terror kites bringing fire from Gaza, it is especially amazing to see those same fields today.  Fields.


Shabbat Shalom!
