Parsha Teruma
Our Parsha comes after receiving
the law and establish a court system. This week our Parsha goes from a
practical world into a spiritual realm. Up to now, this was great for learning
how to behave. Now we are learning about what is needed for and the building of
the Mishkan. However, the Mishkan was no longer to be in use in the future
Mikdash when David started building. So why do we learn this? For the sake of
heaven. We learn what things are good for Teruma and what the Mishkan was made
of. All this learning and how to go about doing a command of building something
for HASHEM is Mussar for intelligent learning.
This must be a heartfelt offering and not one made with a grudge that would weaken the spirituality of it.
3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them: gold, and silver, and brass;
The CREATOR of the Universe obviously has no personal need for physical substances as is written: Chagai 2:8 Mine is the silver, and Mine the gold, says the LORD of hosts. So why are these items requested? They are requested to make a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere for prayer. Maybe one can pray on the battlefield, or as I did at times on border patrol. However, in the back of one’s mind is the possibility of coming under attack. I wrote this about an armored corp. soldier named Milberg who went out of his tank on Yom Kippur to pray Mincha or Nila Prayer and the tank was shot out and then again Maariv. He ended up fighting from three tanks that day it was miraculous as told by his sister.
4 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair; 5 and rams' skins dyed red, and giraffe skins, and acacia-wood;
Acadia wood is found abundant in Israel and Africa but one of such width and length must have been a tree left over from the time after the flood or quite a few generations. I wrote that the tallest and widest one is found in South Africa but smaller ones would be sufficient like in this image. https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=SrbxH3j3&id=6B29CC1713502197BA0FF0C15ED72B7EE767A19F&thid=OIP.SrbxH3j3QYrhWY7r3tCWYQHaFj&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.ellsworthamerican.com%2fwp-content%2fuploauds%2fsites%2f4%2f2013%2f07%2ffba1fec179c74eebf9f0e24ca944e884.jpg&exph=525&expw=700&q=largest+acadia+tree&simid=607996169552922878&selectedIndex=46&ajaxhist=0
Today we have factories and chemists who have no problems making dies but the sky blue dye Techelles, the red threads or purple were rare and the former even hard to produce today. Just as giraffe skins are not easy to come by today, they were special materials “borrowed” from the upper class Egyptians.
6 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense; 7 onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
We shall see subsequently that the Onyx stones were on the shoulders of the Ephod or breastplate of the Cohain Gadol and the names of the tribes engraved upon them.
8 And let them make ME a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show thee, the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the furniture thereof, even so shall ye make it.
The Shechina would rest upon the Cherubim and that was Tzimzum HASHEM. (Meaning - the condensation of L-RD who occupies the whole universe).
10 And they shall make an ark of acacia-wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
An Amar is 18 inches or 45 centimeters. The length is 45 inches or 112.5 cm. The width and height are 27 inches or 67.5 centimeters.
11 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
Gold, being the most malleable metal, can be made into foil thinner than aluminum foil for covering the Teva.
12 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four feet thereof; and two rings shall be on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 13 And thou shalt make staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.
Making a beaten gold foil over this part of the Teva is a talent but nothing compared to have strong gold rings and a pure gold Ark Cover.
14 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, wherewith to bear the ark. 15 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark; they shall not be taken from it. 16 And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. 17 And thou shalt make an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 18 And thou shalt make two cherubim of gold; of beaten work shalt thou make them, at the two ends of the ark-cover. 19 And make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover shall ye make the cherubim of the two ends thereof.
I shall write what I heard of the foundry problem of making the golden Menorah. However, this cover is larger, wider and with the Cherubim at both ends. Making it into one molded piece has such design and logistics problem even with computer methods makes it appear to me that Betzalel had more than talent called DIVINE help.
20 And the cherubim shall spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover shall the faces of the cherubim be. 21 And thou shalt put the ark-cover above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will speak with thee from above the ark-cover, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
The Prophecy shall emanate from here. [After Nadav and Avihu died, it was only on Yom Kippur that the Cohain Gadol would enter the area. The rest of the year, maintenance Cohanim might enter to repair something on the walls without facing the Ark for their own safety.]
23 And thou shalt make a table of acacia-wood: two
cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a
cubit and a half the height thereof. 24 And thou shalt overlay
it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about. 25
And thou shalt make unto it a border of a handbreadth round about, and thou
shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about. 26
And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four
corners that are on the four feet thereof. 27 Close by the
border shall the rings be, for places for the staves to bear the table.
The
rings and the poles for traveling through the years of the Mishkan in the
desert and from place to place in the land and remaining in the first Temple.
(For pictures see the link after the Menorah)
28 And
thou shalt make the staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold, that the
table may be borne with them. 29 And thou shalt make the dishes
thereof, and the pans thereof, and the jars thereof, and the bowls thereof,
wherewith to pour out; of pure gold shalt thou make them. 30 And
thou shalt set upon the table showbread before Me always.
The Showbread
was brought Erev Shabbos and remained until the next Erev Shabbos and
miraculously the Cohanim who ate it said that it tasted fresh and warm.
31 And thou shalt make a
candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even
its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one
piece with it. 32 And there shall be six branches going out of the
sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof,
and three branches of the candle-stick out of the other side thereof; 33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a
flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop
and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the candlestick. 34
And in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof,
and the flowers thereof. 35 And a knop under two branches of one
piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop
under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the
candlestick.
Now for
a view of all the items in the Mishkan –Temple as reconstructed for the future
Temple use see: http://www.templeinstitute.org/gallery.htm
36 Their
knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten
work of pure gold.
When the
Temple Institute commissioned the making of the current golden Menorah on
display in Yerushalayim, there was a problem pouring the mold to make the gold
in one piece and then beating out the work so that nothing broke. Betzalel was
either a genius at mold makinog and pouring or he had help from heaven for the
Temple institute used modern foundry methods, measuring tools and molds that
Betzalel did not have available to him in the desert.
37 And
thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven; and they shall light the lamps
thereof, to give light over against it. 38 And the tongs
thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold.
Snuffdishes
were not what is commonly known in English “Snuff” which is Tobacco. But rather
for burning Incense used in the Mikdash. This week a fellow scientists named
Yishayahu Hollander HaCohain was discussing how they found some incense of the
Temple and burned a little in the spectrometer to see its composition to try to
duplicate it in the future. I just wonder if it were permissible even for this
purpose to burn incense outside of the Temple. A lingering smell remained near
the spectrograph for some time afterwards.
39 Of a
talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels. 40
And see that thou make them after their pattern, which is being shown thee in
the mount.
It was
shown to Moshe but Betzalel was not shown it. Still he managed to produce it as
shown on the mount. The answer is that HASHEM put the images in his mind as one
has an embedded image on his computer and that is how Betzalel was able to
produce the work as was shown to Moshe on the mount.
26:1
Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined
linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skillful
workman shalt thou make them. 2 The length of each curtain shall be eight and
twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains
shall have one measure. 3 Five curtains shall be coupled together one to
another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.
With the
weight, surface tension and absorption of water, it took 300 Cohanim to purify
the curtains in a giant Mikvah, pond, lake or ocean.
4 And
thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that is outmost
in the first set; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that
is outmost in the second set. 5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain,
and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the
second set; the loops shall be opposite one to another. 6 And thou shalt make
fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps,
that the tabernacle may be one whole. 7 And thou shalt make curtains of goats'
hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make them.
I was
told by Rabbi & Dr. Shalom Friedman Shlita, during his Daf Yomi Shuir, that
a special talent was needed to weave the goats’ hairs into threads. I have no
idea how many women nowadays have the time, patience and energy for this
endeavor. All the work of the Mishkan was voluntary which makes it more
amazing.
8 The
length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain
four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have one measure. … remained over shall
hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 And the cubit on the one side, and the
cubit on the other side, of that which remained over in the length of the
curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side
and on that side, to cover it.
This
skin covering would be think and tight enough to be waterproof against the
elements. It would be also very heavy. Since Eretz Yisrael does not have tornados
on a scale that would suck up the covering, the skins were very securely in
place.
14 And
thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering
of giraffe above.
I assume
that they did not send out a party to hunt giraffe in Africa but the skins came
from the wealthy of Egypt and too the dyed red ram’s skin.
15 And
thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up. 16
Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth
of each board.
The
height of each board was 15 feet or 4.5 meters and the bottom was 27 in or 67.5
cm wide. The depth of each board is not stated so it is rectangular at the
bottom and tapered to the top as I calculated last year or thinner on the
bottom, which are anchored in place. Even
though the thickness of the boards is not explicitly mentioned here, if we
recall it was one Amar or 18 in or 45 cm thick and tapered to the top. The main
reason that it is tapered to the top is its weight. The 50 boards and their
sockets and bases had to ride in 2 wagons that were a minimum of 210 years old
at the start and 250 years old upon entering Eretz Yisrael. Last year I
calculated a weight in total of over 3 tons, which is 1.5 tons per wagon.
However, if they were perfect rectangular in shape from top to bottom, they
would be a minimum of 13 tons that is most likely above the load capability of
the wagons.
17 Two
tenons shall there be in each board, joined one to another; thus shalt thou
make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 And thou shalt make the boards
for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward: 19 And thou
shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under
one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two
tenons;
They all
had to be precisely the same height for putting poles in to hold them in place
and join them together.
20 and
for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards. 21 And
their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets
under another board. 22 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle, westward
thou shalt make six boards.
Usually
the rain will come from the south, north or west very rarely from the east.
Therefore, the curtains were in the east and the other sides were closed.
23 And
two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder
part. 24 And they shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be
complete unto the top thereof unto the first ring; thus shall it be for them
both; they shall be for the two corners.
Support
columns that are 2 Amos or 90cm thick. [According to the Chazon Ish this would
be a meter think.]
25 Thus
there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two
sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 26 And thou shalt
make bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the
tabernacle, 27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the
hinder part westward; 28 and the middle bar in the midst of the boards, which
shall pass through from end to end. 29 And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold,
and make their rings of gold for holders for the bars; and thou shalt overlay
the bars with gold. 30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the
fashion thereof which hath been shown thee in the mount.
A
tremendously heavy, strong and firm structure help in place by poles. No
mention of tying the poles to each other with curtain material but perhaps this
was done for added strength and stability.
It is a hardwood altar and the brass covering would snuff out the air from the wood burning.
3 And thou shalt make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its fire-pans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. 4 And thou shalt make for it a grating of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brazen rings in the four corners thereof. 5 And thou shalt put it under the ledge round the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar. 6 And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with brass. 7 And the staves thereof shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, in bearing it. 8 Hollow with planks shalt thou make it; as it hath been shown thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
Have you noticed that I deal with things that I understand like wood and metalwork of the Mishkan. I honestly have a lack of understanding of the tremendous work needed for the curtains and other materials of the Mishkan. Ble Neder net year I will try to learn this.
9 And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side. …18 The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.
The supporting tenons raised the boards and covering to the height of 5 cubits 7.5 feet or 2.25 meters.
19 All the instruments of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.
The Best
Hiding Place by Rabbi Yerachmiel Tilles
Rabbi Yisroel Baumgarten was a
wealthy Jew from Jerusalem. He did everything in his power and control to raise
a family in the ways of G-d and our Holy Torah, but to his dismay, his children
did not follow the Torah path. He tried encouraging them, motivating them and
rewarding them, but nothing helped. They all moved to America to get away from
their father and his strict religious ways. This caused Rabbi Baumgarten even
greater heartache and frustration.
As the rabbi aged, his children
tried to convince him to put his money into accounts that would shield him from
hefty taxes, but he had his own plans and was not interested in discussing them
with his children. They in turn figured they would have to wait till after he
passed away, and then they would find out where he kept his money.
But that is not what happened. After
Yisroel Baumgarten passed away, his children were shocked when they saw the
will; he had left very little money for them. Furthermore, he had left no hint
where all his money was stashed away. They hired lawyers to investigate, but
the funds could not be traced and all their efforts were in vain.
Baumgarten also left instructions in
his will that his apartment was not to be sold. This too was beyond his
children's comprehension, but they did as was instructed and the apartment
remained empty, except for occasional use by family members - a place to stay
over in Jerusalem.
Years passed and the children went
on in their lives. Though none of the children were religious, one grandson
slowly became interested in the Torah way of life. He eventually travelled to
Israel on a Birthright trip. When in the Holy Land, he became convinced that he
should become an observant Jew. Furthermore, he decided he wanted to go in the
same path as his religious and pious grandfather.
Instead of returning to America, he
decided to stay on and enroll in a Yeshiva in Jerusalem where
he could pursue his dream. As time passed the grandson became more and more
engrossed in his Torah studies. He absorbed all that he was taught and
developed an insatiable desire for learning Gemara.
One Shabbat day he ate at the home
of his main Talmud teacher. On his way back to his dorm, he stopped in amazement
in front of an apartment that he was about to pass. On the door was inscribed
his grandfather's name!
Late that Saturday night, he called
his father at home in America and told him what he discovered. His father told
him that since the apartment was not being used at the time, he could stay
there whenever he wanted. He then explained his son how to obtain the key.
The next Shabbat, for the evening
meal, he again went to his Rabbi's home. Instead of walking all the way back
from to his dorm late at night, he decided to sleep in his grandfather's
apartment. When he arrived at the apartment, instead of going immediately to
sleep, he decided to sit down at the dining room table and review his Gemara.
He pulled out a Gemara Nedarim from his
grandfather's bookcase and opened it to the page that he was learning in the
chapter HaShutfin, which discusses the question of a father who
wants to give his property to his child only on condition that his child will
be a Torah scholar.
The grandson noticed that his grandfather
had written notes on the side of this page in the Gemara. When he
looked more carefully, he was astonished and totally blown away to realize that
the note was addressed to him!
"To my dear grandchild,
"If you are reading these
lines, then you have been privileged to return to the fold and you are now
studying G-d's greatest gift to His people - Our Holy Torah.
"As such, I have a surprise for
you. I am giving you my entire fortune. I want you to be able to learn Torah
undisturbed by any financial worries."
Written in the Gemara was
the location of the safe-deposit box that contained all of Rabbi Yisroel
Baumgarten's assets, along with instructions how to obtain access to the box.
The grandson could hardly believe
what he was reading. He ran back to his Rebbe's home and explained all that
just transpired and then asked a dramatic question: Was he permitted to keep
the money?
The question was brought before a
renowned rabbinic authority in Jewish Law, who after listening to the entire
story, determined that the grandson could indeed keep his grandfather's
fortune.
Fast forward many decades. This
grandson continues to learn Torah undisturbed. He has been blessed with a
beautiful family of children and grandchildren who are all following in the
footsteps of their patriarch, Rabbi Yisroel Baumgarten.

The first part was scheduled for
Parsha Mishpatim but due to the stories, questions and answers, it is published
now:
Neither a borrower nor lender
be – William Shakespeare.
The Halachos of borrowing. By Rabbi Yirmiyohu
Kaganoff Part 1
Question: Shattered Shield
“A friend left for a few weeks, leaving me the keys for his car and
permission to use it whenever I wanted. The first morning, when I went to get
the car, I discovered that the windshield had been shattered by a stone or
brick. Am I obligated to replace the windshield?”
Introduction:
Answering this question requires that we understand the legal
responsibilities of someone who borrows an item. As always, the purpose of our
article is not to offer a definitive halachic ruling, but to
present background and knowledge. In this instance, as in all cases, a person
should address any particular question to his rav or posek.
And, since there are probably two parties involved, to resolve a matter
amicably, I suggest that the two of you agree on a specific rav or dayan whose
expertise you both recognize.
The Basics:
In parshas Mishpatim, the
Torah presents three types of shomrim, people who assume
responsibility for other people’s property. The Torah shebe’al peh,
our Oral Torah, explains that these are the three categories:
A. A shomer chinam takes
care of someone else’s property without any compensation and has no right to
use the item. He is responsible to pay if the item was damaged due to his
negligence, or if he used it without permission. If there are factual issues
that are unresolved, such as determining whether the shomer was
negligent, the owner may insist that the shomer swear a shevuah,
an oath, to exonerate himself from liability. This last rule, that the owner is
not required to accept the shomer’s version of what happened
without corroborating evidence, is true also in regard to the other shomrim that
we will soon discuss.
In recent history, batei din have
been reticent about requiring someone to swear an oath, and therefore a beis
din might effect a financial compromise in lieu of an oath.
B. A shomer sachar is
one who takes care of an item and receives financial benefit. He is liable if
the item is lost or stolen, but he is not obligated if it became lost or
damaged for some reason beyond his control, which includes, for example, armed
robbery.
C. A sho’eil borrows an item,
receiving benefit without providing the owner with any compensation. As stated
in the Mishnah (Bava Metzia 93a), a sho’eil is
obligated to pay for any damage that happens to the item, even if it is
completely beyond his control. The obvious reason why this is so is that since
the sho’eil received benefit from the item gratis,
he must make sure that he returns what he received, paying its full value, if
need be.
