A Wing and A Prayer – The Combination of Effort and Faith
By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax. FL
In the year 1910, the Czarist government convened a Rabbinical conference designed to interfere with Jewish religious affairs. In good despotic tradition, the participating Rabbis found themselves privy to a list of 102 Jewish communities where pogroms were likely to “Occur,” should the conference fail to yield the desired results.
The Rebbe says (part one):
1. The portion of Pekudei, as well as the previous portion of Vayakhel, discuss at length exactly how all the elements of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle) were made.
2. The Rebbe now questions this:
Three and four Torah portions earlier, in Parshas Terumah and Tetzaveh, the Torah told us that Hashem (G-d) told Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) exactly how to make the Mishkan. Now, again, in the portions of Vayakhel and Pekudei, the Torah tells us exactly how the Mishkan was actually and finally made in accordance with the previous instructions.
Surely, if we consider that the Torah’s general style of composition is to write everything in the shortest possible manner, and indeed many laws are learned out from one extra word or letter, we will be puzzled at the Torah’s repetition of every single detail of the Mishkan. Wouldn’t it have been more fitting for the Torah to simply state in this week’s Torah portion, “And the Jewish people constructed the Mishkan in accordance with all that Hashem had commanded Moshe Rabbeinu”? Why does the Torah belabor the point by going through every part of the Mishkan that the Jewish people in fact made, in the portions of Vayakhel and Pekudei?
