Parsha Pekeudei, a story, news



Parsha Pekeudei


We have arrived at the end of the construction of the Mishkan and Sefer Shemos. We will be ready for he dedication ceremony and the Korbanos in the Mishkan. Moshe is giving a complete accounting. Just like Avraham Avinu, Moshe does not want anything not even a shoe lace.

38:21 These are the accounts of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were rendered according to the commandment of Moses, through the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

Since the Cohain HaGadol was in charge, it was time for an accounting. The Mishkan or in the future Mikdash was where the Cohanim would be working and staying from before sunrise cleaning the ashes to sunset and the lighting of the Menorah for the next day. It was natural for the head of the Cohanim to check up on the builders and how the work was coming along.

22 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

Since Hur died on a Kiddush HASHEM he receives mention. Oholiav’s grandfather might have still been alive and he would receive Nachas in this world. 

23 And with him was Oholiav, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman, and a skillful workman, and a weaver in colors, in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

This is the way of the world the skilled weavers were not necessarily skilled engineers, carpenters and metal workers and vice versa. On Shabbos we sing the son Ish Al Machane Hu V’ Ish Al Deglo (A man under/on his camp and under his standard/flag). The Tribe of Yehuda was the tribe destined for kingship (Yacov’s blessing). The Tribe of Dan was from a servant or lesser wife and a smaller tribe, but here before HASHEM they become equal in their work on the Mishkan.

24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

I searched on line for the weight of a talent of gold and came up with 75 lbs. or approx. 35kg. So what is the value of 29 x 75 x 16 oz/lb x $1289.20 price on Monday this week. Not playing around between troy oz and the standard I get a higher value of $44,864,160 which is probably closer to $44,000,000 adjusted. Coins that were found were measured. Its weight is 2.49 grams, making a shekel 9.56 grams. Another weight from Samaria is marked on one side "one-quarter shekel," and its weight is 2.54 grams. That would make the shekel 10.16 grams. $15.17 x 16 x 730 x 75 is $13.288.920. Again these are rough numbers
 
25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and three-score and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

$15.17 x 1600 x 75 plus $15.17 x 1,775 x 10/16n or $1,820,400 plus $16,829.22 = $1,839,229.22 which makes the total value of silver approximately $15,000,000. Since I am not using troy ounces enjoy the estimate.

26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

This gave everybody a small portion of silver in the Mishkan so there was internal national and religious joining together of the whole nation and even the poor man could have some pride.

27 And the hundred talents of silver were used for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

The total amount of silver as stated above in today’s terms were close to $15,000,000. Now the accounting is given to where the money/silver went.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.

This is about all but there were silver trumpets also.

29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

2470 x 75 x $2.93/lb (FYI futures say $3.05) = $542,782.50 this is copper and not brass or bronze but we have an idea.

30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31 and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

This is where your copper donations went plus of course the brass laver for washing the hands and feet of the Cohanim.

Transparency and Money by Rabbi Wein Shlita
One of the more popular buzzwords bandied about in current society is transparency. Loosely, this means that governments and financial institutions should have no secrets and that the public be allowed to know everything that occurs and to be able to see how money is being spent and allocated. This is a noble goal but like many goals it runs contrary to human nature and the goal is rarely if ever achieved.
In this week's Torah reading we have an example of complete transparency regarding the materials donated by the Jewish people for the construction of the Tabernacle. Additionally, it discusses the priestly vestments during the encampment of the Jewish people in the Sinai desert, after their exodus from Egyptian slavery. Moshe accounts for every piece of material that was collected for this holy and noble project.
Jewish tradition tells us that Moshe was unable to account for 1000 measures of silver that were donated but he did not remember for what they were used. Then, almost miraculously, the silver identified itself as being used for the hooks for the tapestries of the Tabernacle and Moshe’s accounting was proven to be accurate to the final degree and coin. Such transparency is necessary for people are by nature suspicious of others and especially of government when it comes to handling money or other precious materials. There was always the suspicion – many times proven to be a correct – that somehow money was mishandled or worse, appropriated into private pockets instead of for the public good. Therefore, the accounting by Moshe to the Jewish people regarding the donations for the building of the Tabernacle is not to be viewed as an act of piety but rather one of absolute necessity.
To emphasize this point and to make clear where the Torah stands on issues of financial transparency is perhaps the reason that such space and detail is devoted in the Torah to this accounting of the funds and material used and donated in the building process of the Tabernacle. The Torah could have allowed itself to merely state that after all the donations were collected and tallied and the work of the artisans and builders of the Tabernacle was completed, then Moshe gave a full accounting of this matter to the Jewish people. But such a statement, even from Moshe, would not have sufficed to allay the suspicious nature of the public, a nature that always judges its leaders harshly and suspiciously.
The rabbis point out to us that none of the garments that the priests wore while performing their holy duties in the Temple had pockets. This was the case so no one could suspect them of taking any of the property of the Temple or any public donations. Transparency therefore is a proactive undertaking and should be performed willingly and thoroughly without being given grudgingly as an answer to public demand. The standard is a high one, but the Torah never shirks from making lofty goals. The Torah reading of this week reminds us of this constant challenge.
Shabbat shalom
Rabbi Berel Wein

39:1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.

This is where the colors were used.

2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into threads, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.
Fine pure gold threads were used with the other materials in the garments of the Cohain Gadol.

They hammered out: Heb. וַ×™ְרַקְּעוּ, like “To Him Who spread out (לְרוֹקַ×¢) the earth over the water” (Ps. 136:6), as the Targum [Onkelos] renders: וְרַדִידוּ, they hammered thin plates out of the gold, estendre in Old French [etendre in modern French, meaning] to extend into thin sheets. Here [the text] teaches you how they spun the gold [together] with the [wool] threads. They would hammer [the gold into] thin sheets and cut threads out of them along the length of the sheet, [in order] to work those threads by combining them with each kind [of colored material] in the Choshen and in the ephod, about which gold is mentioned [to be included with them [i.e.,] one thread of gold [was intertwined] with six threads of blue wool, and similarly with each kind [of wool], for each kind had threads of six strands, and the gold was the seventh thread with each one. -[from Yoma 72a]

4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together; at the two ends was it joined together.


I think Betzalel and his workers engraved the names on the Onyx Stones of the shoulder pieces and Oholiav sewed or weaved them together with the garment.

5 And the skillfully woven band, that was upon it, wherewith to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work thereof: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.

6 And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel. 7 And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.

The stones had to be mounted and woven into the garment. Just as we have silver plating for the Tallis that is mounted on a cloth that is sewn to the Tallis.  

8 And he made the breastplate, the work of the skillful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9 It was four-square; they made the breastplate double; a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double. 10 And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd was the first row. 11 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald. 12 And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were enclosed in fittings of gold in their settings. 14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

I did research on this year’s back. I wrote about the four rows and the tribes and the stones and their colors. However, I went back on the blogspot to 10 years ago and could not find it. Ble Neder next year I will republish this. Usually at the OU Torah Tidbits this week should have the tribes in the rows. I have it in my archives but spent a lot of time going backwards. I hope to come up with it or will have to relearn this from scratch ble Neder for next year.

15 And they made upon the breastplate plaited chains, of wreathen work of pure gold. …28 and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen, 29 and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the weaver in colors; as the LORD commanded Moses. 30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO THE LORD. 31 And they tied unto it a thread of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as the LORD commanded Moses. 32 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting; and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

Now the tent was ready for construction.

...43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it. And Moses blessed them.
40:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 'On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

On the first of Nissan 2449 you will dedicate the Mishkan.

3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil.

Here are the plans for building the Kodesh Kodeshim (Holy of Holies) and what is in it. We start with the ark. Then outside the inner section will be the place for the internal workings of the Cohanim and that too is shielded from the public but if the curtain is open one might glance inside but not so the Kodesh Kodeshim.  

4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the bread that is upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. 5 And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

All this was enclosed.

6 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

For Public view outside the Mishkan shall be Mizbayach and Kiyour (brass laver).

9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof; and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar; and the altar shall be most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.

This oil that was used in the anointing was more than extra fine virgin olive oil but the first few drops that run off from the weight of the olives on themselves before pressing. This is Shemen Katit in Hebrew and was used for sanctifying all the Kelim (utensils or items) of the Mishkan. For holiness we used the finest of fine. It is the general rule for Cohanim to be extra cautious and zealous. For example: Tuma is classified as the father of all fathers of Tuma is a corpse (Avi Avos HaTuma). HaTuma is a dead creeping thing or a mouse, a person with Tsoras (Leprosy) or one who had Gonorrhea. A fruit or person coming in contact with them becomes Rishon Le Tuma and if one has not washed his hands and touches fruit, the fruit becomes Shayni (2nd degree) Le Tuma. For eating Teruma, one could not be even Shlishi (3rd degree) and for a regular Korban of a Cohain would be Revi’ie (4th degree) so the exactness of everything was special in the Mishkan and Mikdash and not for ordinary people.  

12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water. 13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office. 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put tunics upon them. 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office; and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.'

They all went to the Mikvah and were ritually Tahor. Upon this point behind a curtain they disrobed and Moshe poured the oil of anointing upon them. At this point they put on their pants and Cohanic tunics (Bigdei Kahuna) and from this point on like David being anointed Melech, the Kahuna or Malchus would go from father to son provided that the mother was from Yisrael.  

16 Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he. 17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. 18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars. 19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

From this passage on until Parsha Behaalosecha is one very long section which consists of various actions that occurred between Rosh Chodesh and Pessach 2449.

20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the ark-cover above upon the ark. 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses. …33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

Why the finishing touches in order to get the merit of completion of the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

When the cloud filled Mishkan only Korbanos could be done in the outer area. Even Moshe or Aaron were forbidden inside.

36 And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys. 37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

Special guidance from HASHEM Yisborach were over the Nation.


Chazak – Chazak v’ nit Chazak

Where is my Daddy by Aharon Denderowitz


During my early childhood, growing up in London, my father was largely absent. He was very ill and hospitalized most of the time, and so my mother had to go to work, while I was looked after by my grandparents. I remember repeatedly asking my mother, “Where is Daddy?” and her answer, “He will be home soon,” and me pressing, “When?” and she responding “I don’t know. ”But around the time I turned five, something changed. In the beginning of 1958, my father was released from the hospital, and we went to live in Gateshead. That is where life returned to normal, I went to school and all was well. Years went by and, eventually, when my father was in his late sixties, he developed cancer and started fading away; he entered a hospice and died. During the week of Shiva — the seven-day mourning period for the dead — my late younger brother Simcha told me and my other brothers a story. He said, “I can’t hold myself back any longer. I have to share with you what happened while Daddy was in hospice. I couldn’t tell you before because the person who told me this wanted to keep it a secret. ”Simcha then went on to relate that during his last days, my father had a visitor, Reb Yisrael Rudzinski, who had gone with him through the camps during World War Two. Reb Yisrael was a Bobover Chasid, a tailor by profession, and he was among my father’s closest friends, the survivors who shared every family celebration with us. When he came to visit my father for what turned out to be their final meeting, my brother left the two of them to speak together in private. Reb Yisrael was a special person, a very deep and caring person, and coming out of my father’s room, he saw that my brother looked depressed. So, in trying to give my brother courage for what lay ahead, he told him this story. “Do you know your father was not well when he was young?” Reb Yisrael asked my brother. My brother said he knew about it but it happened before he was born. Reb Yisrael continued, “When your father was very sick, I once visited your mother and your grandparents. And they showed me a letter which they had just received from the hospital following a doctors’ conference about your father. This letter said that the doctors felt the need to operate on him, but there was a chance that, as a result of their interventions, he could fall into a vegetative state. ”My grandparents asked Reb Yisrael for his opinion. “Who am I to answer such a question?” he replied, suggesting that this was a matter for a top leader in the Jewish world. And he offered to send a letter on their behalf to every major rabbinic figure at the time. He ended up sending out twenty-three letters, explaining the situation and asking if they should go ahead with the operation or not. He sent out so many letters because he was not sure who might reply. After the war, there was so much sadness and so many questions of loss and heartache that the rabbis were constantly having to deal with. But he did receive one reply. The only one who responded was the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Rebbe wrote that his heart pained him to hear about such suffering, but that he felt unable to answer the question. However, he wanted to put forward a suggestion he had heard from his father-in-law, the Previous Rebbe, that a person who studies Chitas daily will see salvation. What is Chitas? It is an acronym for Chumash (the Five Books of Moses) Tehillim (the Book of Psalms) and Ta n y a(the seminal work by the Alter Rebbe, the founder of the Chabad movement). The Rebbe was recommending that my father begin studying portions of these holy books every day according to a set schedule. Since the Rebbe was the only one who responded, Reb Yisrael decided to call him directly. After much effort — as in those days long-distance calls were not so easy — he got through to the Rebbe’s office and asked the secretary to please tell the Rebbe that his advice could not be followed because my father was simply too ill to study Chitas. “If so,” the answer came back, “let a family member do it on his behalf.” “But he lost his whole family in the war,” Reb Yisrael said. “He has no one.” “If that’s the case, the Rebbe recommends that a friend do it,” he was told. Although he was not a Lubavitcher, Reb Yisrael followed the directive of the Lubavitcher Rebbe and became that friend who studied Chitas for my father. This is what he told my brother. After six weeks, my father showed marked improvement, and the doctors began to speak about releasing him from the hospital. And after another six weeks, they did release him. When that happened, my father followed the advice of Rabbi Moshe Schwab of the Gateshead Talmudical College , who told him to change his place of residence as per the dictum, “Meshaneh makom meshaneh mazel— A change of place can change one’s fortune.” This is why we moved to Gateshead when I was five. From that point on, until he reached old age, my father was fine – he held down a job, provided for our family and was actively involved in the local Jewish community. In that momentous conversation, Reb Yisrael told my brother another astonishing thing — “I have not stopped reciting Chitas for the past forty years. And I certainly intend to continue.” I found this story to be very powerful because it goes to show that we don’t know through which spiritual channel we are being sustained. And it also made me think about all that the Rebbe did for us all and still is doing for us today. I hope this story goes on to inspire everybody who reads it. ______________
