GeminiEyes and Heart in the Service of Israel
The beginning of the exile in Egypt was marked by the blockage of the eyes and hearts of the Israelites, and the beginning of the redemption therefrom was the opening of the eyes and heart of Moshe Rabbeinu - and it was this that brought about G-d's seeing and attention to redeem Israel.
  • The Essence of the Sanctuary What is the Most Important for Temple Erection
    Why aren't the Muslims and the Christians able to build the temple even though they've been trying for hundreds of years? What are they missing out?
  • Honoring the Priesthood in Our Time
    Tetzave starts out with two verses discussing the oil for the Menorah (lamp) in the Mishkan. It must be "pure beaten olive oil," and the lamp must burn perpetually in the Tent of Meeting.

  • How Wooden Beams Prove Perfect Faith
    Why does the Torah refer to "the boards," as if we know which boards it is talking about? No boards have yet been mentioned! Furthermore, regarding none of the other utensils in the Mishkan is "the" mentioned; instead it says, "You shall make a menorah… a covering for the tent," etc. Why then are the boards singled out?
  • What Isaac Newton discovered through the dimensions of the Tabernacle
    What is the second and third Halacah in the Shulchan Aruch? And why is the Mishkan relevant to each and every one of us?
