Vayakhel/Pekude
By:Rabbi Eliezer Zwickler

Our Rabbis teach us that Moshe was distressed that he was not able to contribute personally to the building of the Mishkan.  Hashem, however, said to Moshe that his contribution to the Mishkan was greater than any other contribution. What was his contribution? The Torah tells us that Moshe was told that he was to instruct the Jewish people as to how they were to contribute. This action of being the person who would relay Hashem's message was, within itself, Moshe's contribution.

I believe this is a very important lesson for all of us concerning community involvement.  We all have ways and items that we can donate to a worthy cause such as, for example, our shul.  For some of us it may be our money, for others it may be our time.  For some it may be our physical strength and for others it may be our intellect and wisdom.  All of these components are contributing factors in the success of any community institution and, in our case, to the success and health on many levels of our shul. This past Sunday we held a beautiful dinner highlighting and celebrating the commitment to our shul of many special people.  Let us all find a way in the future to ensure that we contribute to the health of our community and are the symbols of its strength through our contributions that we make on a regular basis.

-I would like to welcome our Scholar in Residence Rabbi Mordechai Becher. Rabbi Becher is renowned as a powerful and captivating speaker. We look forward to hearing him on Shabbos.

-Special welcome to Kim Zoller of Image Dynamics who is here for Shabbos and will be working with our shul leadership this coming Sunday.
