Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Pekudei

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is pasha's piku day the question of the week is why is action so important so in this week's torah portion after it tells us the way the jewish people did exactly what moishrabenu was instructed us through god to build the mishkan so the torah says that the jewish people did exactly what hashem commanded moshe reno that's what we did so deborah asked the question pasha's truman tatava we knew exactly what we have to do it could have just had one verse that we did what we were supposed to do why impressions for yakima could does it repeat itself everything that we did we already knew about what we were supposed to do so the rubber explains impartials truman tatsava were commanded from hashem what the dream is what we need to do so once hashem commanded us the mishkan existed on a spiritual level in vaiyakyl and pikuday is when we actually built a physical mishkan and the terror goes out of it out of its way rather than say one word one verse that we did that we were instructed but to tell us everything that we did because building the mishkan in a physical level is totally a different world than building it on a spiritual level so the answer to the question why is action so important because action is a whole different reality from spirituality there's a spiritual significance of loving hashem being in all of hashem knowing what hashem wants but doing it gets its own powerful blessing as we see clearly the torah repeats everything that we're instructed to do because action is where it's at in this world thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of barack labe van josef and rocco baslipo may the souls be elevated by toro we're studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shavu tov for more information please see our website khabadswf.org
