Parashat Shemini (Eighth) – Weekly Parashah

Come Home, break through and Become!
The following two poems were written by individuals in the inner surroundings that Corona has forced the World into. These Poems reflect the trend of fast changing attitudes across the Globe and also, once again, the insights that we have shared over the last few weeks in these Parshiyot reviews about where things seem to be heading.
Final Redemption and the Return of the Shechinah Presence of G-d
Parashat Pekudei: Exodus 38:21- 40:38
Haftarah Pekudei: 1 Kings 7,51-8,21 (1 Kings 7,40-50)
Without both sides of the Family feud humbling themselves into Peaceful Reconciliation, there can be NO ‘Coming of a Mashiach’ or Final Redemption – notwithstanding all the ‘authoritative’ predictions being presented in these critical Times. The Message held by Parshat Pekudei which fell with Parashat Vayakhel last week in a double portion, is so important that we did not want to present you with a double Message last week. So, we decided to review it this week in our Newsletter while the normal Parashat Vayikrah reading for this week process.

Parashat Va’yikrah (And He called) – Weekly Parashah
Texts: Leviticus 1:1-5:26 || Isaiah 43:21-44:23 NOTE: Kol HaTor, in its commentaries on the weekly Parashot, endeavours to search for and accentuate the Torah Messages contained in the Parashot as applicable to the main Theme of Tanach of the Return of the House of Israel, i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes of Northern Israel and their Reconciliation […]
Rounding off the Redemptive Journey – Following G-d’s Shechina in our journeys and Parshat Pekudei
After weeks of details and details and more details, we finally arrive at the climactic end of Sefer Shemot:
“And the cloud engulfed the Tent of Meeting, and G-d’s glory filled the Mishkan. And Moshe was not able to go to the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud was dwelling there and G-d’s glory filled the Mishkan. And when the cloud would lift from the Mishkan, the Jewish People would travel on all of their travels…
Change the Fear of Death to a Blessing of Life Eternal
The core message of this week’s Torah portion Parashat Vayakhel is focused on OUR Main responsibility towards HaShem’s Goal for Mankind – to ensure our participation in the building of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) in which He wishes to dwell amongst His People who will become sanctified as His Temple – to serve as a Light unto the Nations and through whom He will rule over the Universe in His Eternal Kingdom.
Now, for how to achieve this?
Like all success in life, the Creator’s Recipe is for man to…
Communities and Crowds
This week’s Parshah and its name: Vayakhel is the Torah’s primer on how to build community.
It does so in a subtle way. It uses a single verb, k-h-l, to describe two very different activities. The first appears in last week’s parsha at the beginning of the story of the Golden Calf. “When the people saw that Moshe was long delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered (vayikahel) around Aharon and said to him: get up, make us gods to go before us. This man Moshe who brought us out of Egypt – we have no idea what has become of him” (Ex. 32:1). The second is the opening verse of this week’s parsha: “Moshe assembled (vayakhel) all the community of Israel and said to them: these are the things the Lord has commanded you to do” (Ex. 35:1).

Parashah: Exodus 38:21 – 40:38 Haftarah: I Kings 7:51-8:21 (Sephardic I Kings 7:40-7:50)

More insights and guidelines presented by this week’s Parashah on the ‘Primary Goal’ of the Creator of which YOU are part of, i.e. to sanctify yourself and present yourself as a human Tabernacle in which G-d will dwell amongst His People, to serve as a Light unto the Nations, bringing Universal subjection to the King of Kings (the topic of the current 14 weekly Parshiyot)… READ MORE >>
