A note from the staff of Kabbalah Online in Tzefat
The name of this week's reading: "Teruma" refers to the donations of materials for building the Sanctuary. Today the word is used, like "tzedaka," to refer to all giving to worthy Jewish causes. The final article, the story, offers an intriguing insight into this mitzva.
In addition to the 3 articles on this week's Torah Reading (#5-7), after reading the lead article on gender, consider the cherubim that sat atop the Holy Ark of the Covenant (!) Dedication
to Mordechai & Shoshana Siev
on the occasion of their 4th wedding anniversary on Tues. night-Wed., 28 Shevat (2015: Feb.17) May they enjoy many happy healthy years together. |
