The Rebbe says:

1. In this week’s Torah portion the Torah recounts how every single Jew- men, women, and children- donated all kinds of materials for the construction of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle) to their hearts content.

2. The Rebbe now contrasts the donations given in this week’s Torah portion with the Ma’cha’tzis Ha’sheh’kel (half of a coin called a “Shekel”) that the Jewish people gave to the Mishkan earlier in last week’s Torah portion:

SOCHI, Russia — This week, the southern Russian resort city of Sochi hosted a meeting between the region's Chief Rabbi and Chabad Lubavitch emissary Arie Edelkopf and Semyon Veinshtok, the Head of the State Corporation for the 2014 Winter Olympics.

To set the context of the Jewish community's role in this major event, Chief Rabbi Edelkopf provided the top official with some background on Jewish life in the region. Today, the local Jewish community is comprised of an estimated 3,000 Jews. While not very large, the local Synagogue hosts prayers and various adult learning opportunities. But the community also provides outreach to Jewish visitors to this Black Sea destination, inviting them to communal gatherings and holidays and making kosher food available to them.
