Shavuah tov!

May this week be the narrowest it gets for redemption is at hand!

מעבדות לחירות
From oppression to freedom

The narrow place is dark and scary but the expansiveness full of light will come!

Parsha notes of years past for Parshat Vayakhel. My favorite line in this parsha is Exodus 35:26, which speaks of hearts spun up in wisdom. In a world that feels lacking in wisdom, may this Shabbat spin us toward a wisdom that can lead us to collective liberation. #shabbat #parshastudy #torahstudy
Digital art, black background, pink anatomical heart with a swirling yellow line around it and bluish purple petals outlined in the same pink bursting from behind it along with spray paint style pink behind all of it. The words “a heart spun up in wisdom” in orange surrounding the image. Art by Yaakov Akiva 5783/2023 Scanned handwritten notes from Torah study for Parshat Vayakhel from 5783 Some highlights: “G*d isn’t here to take everything from you.” - Liana I love this parsha (heavily underlined) “Whose heart spun them up in wisdom” - verse 26 (repeating in the Koren translation) “Spinning and weaving instead of melting. Doing it out of joy instead of fear.” - Mandie #tabernaclefandom The project model is healthy consent based trauma informed labor, including modeling of not laboring/giving beyond the need and not taking beyond the existing need. “Moses to G*d: the people are restless. G*d to Moses: let’s give them a project.” - Adlai Scanned handwritten notes from Torah study 5783, Parshat Vayakhel with Torah Studio. Highlights: “Let my people go” is incomplete, is followed by “that they may serve ME” – freedom sought in Torah isn’t individualism. - Rabbi Shai Held Exodus 35:1-36:7 Bezalel = in the shadow of God. Oholiab = my father’s tent “Everyone whose heart moved them” Moses teaches the rules of Shabbat + Bezalel and Oholiab - direction building the Mishkan Free will offering Stolen Moments Todd’s laugh is infectious Rabbi Akiva - What we make of divine creation is even more beautiful. Midrash Tanchuma Tazria 5:1
