RABBI'S MESSAGE

In Parshas Pekudei Moshe offers an accounting of the donations brought by the Jewish people for the building of the Mishkan.  Our Rabbis teach us that Moshe Rabbeinu felt  sad that he, personally, had not contributed to the Mishkan.  It was not that Moshe did not want to contribute, rather, Hashem told him that he had a different role in the construction. Moshe was to give Betzalel detailed instructions so that the Mishkan was built precisely as Hashem wished. The Maayana Shel Torah expands on this idea and explains that Hashem told Moshe that his job was to speak, and not to give.  We can learn an important lesson from this idea that is applicable to our lives.  There is a role and a place for each of us among the vast Jewish people.  Although our roles may differ and expectations that Hashem has for us may not be the same, nevertheless it is Hashem’s wish that  all of us feel our value as part of the Klal, the entire nation. Good Shabbos!
