#TorahTuesday #Pekudei As each article of the Mishkan was assembled and put in place, each action was affirmed by the statement, כַּֽאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָֹה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה. Every move was commanded. https://www.facebook.com/OUPressBooks/posts/2584394548242066 …pic.twitter.com/5WdRfFfpwG

#ShabbatShalom #Vayakhel Why does Moshe abruptly insert the subject of #Shabbat, apparently out of context, specifically at this historic moment of launching the construction of the Mishkan? https://oupress.org/excerpts/vayakhel-understanding-shabbat/ …pic.twitter.com/jqS4KhrbHI

#TorahTuesday #Tetzaveh This parashah marks a major turning point in Moses’ life. The parashah which does not contain Moses’ name coincides with the seventh of Adar because in a sense this parashah marked the beginning of Moses’ death. https://www.facebook.com/OUPressBooks/posts/2548563211825200 …pic.twitter.com/k2pmPTfA6C

#ShabbatShalom #Teruma Chutzpah - A Religious Analyis The measurements of the aron, the holiest part of the Mikdash, are partial numbers – to teach us to never consider ourselves complete but only half-done. https://oupress.org/excerpts/teruma-chutzpah-analysis/ …pic.twitter.com/FAexnXWjSh

#TorahTuesday #Mishpatim Parashas Mishpatim was introduced at this particular point in the Torah, after the giving of the Ten Commandments, to demonstrate that these civil laws are, in fact, religious laws. https://www.facebook.com/OUPressBooks/posts/2526207830727405 …pic.twitter.com/yirZOCRwXd

#ShabbatSHalom #Yitro #Yisro Yitro’s rejoicing came upon learning that it is possible for a man to have every excuse for being arrogant, and yet to find that he is incredibly selfless and compassionate. https://oupress.org/excerpts/yitro-thrill-lifetime/ …pic.twitter.com/mEIqY6G8I0

#ShabbatShalom #Vaeira Why does God suddenly digress, in the midst of His reassurances to Moshe, to discuss the quality of divine revelation to the patriarchs? Why would this information be of significance to Moshe at this critical moment? https://oupress.org/excerpts/vaeira-glimpses/ …pic.twitter.com/9TPQdLfe7l
