The sublime beauty, limitless embrace and unifying power of the Tabernacle, and later the Holy Temple, are all contained within the first sacred vessel Israel was commanded to build: the Ark of the Covenant. Just 2.5 cubits long, 1.5 cubits wide, and 1.5 cubits high, made of acacia wood and gold, and constructed by the hands of man, the Ark nevertheless managed to straddle the expanse between our finite world and our endless source.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
When you prosper and when you suffer, when you intend to serve HaShem and when you consider sin.
If its arrows do not reach you in the ways mentioned, it will lie in wait for you in your seasons of prosperity and also when you suffer hardship.
When all is going according to your wishes, it will say to you:
“It is the result of your own effort, ingenuity and cleverness. You should therefore [continue to] exert yourself in your secular airs and labor hard at them, in order to maintain your present standard and even rise above it. Embrace these days happily and take pleasure in them, for n a very short while you will be called by name, and you will answer HaShem [and descend] into the darkness of the grave, where there is no action or movement, no pleasure or pain.”

“I am HaShem your G-d.” The first of the Ten Commandments instructs us to seek out G-d in our world. One such seeker was Yitro, a former idolater who overcame his doubts and recognized the one G-d, earning him the privilege of being forever associated with the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.
Yitro (Exodus 118:1-20:23)

The crossing of the Sea of Reeds on dry land celebrated by the children of Israel in the Song of the Sea, was not just a passage from slavery to freedom, it was a passage from the past to an ever approaching future. It was a revelation shared by all the children of Israel, a premonition and prophecy and proof of the future resurrection of the dead.

Biblical Faith – with Shmuel “Sam” Peak
“Beware of laziness and sloth, and rely on no one but yourself. For you have control of the good and the bad: you have the power to be active or passive. Exert yourself with all your strength, and labor with all your energy, and you will attain all you desire of worldly pleasures. Do all that you can to avoid the causes of misfortune, and you will escape them, as the Wise One said: ‘Thorne and snare are in the twisted path; he who guards himself will keep far from them’ (Mishlei 22:5); ‘A man folly wraps his way, yet his heart rages against HaShem’ (Mishlei 19:3); ‘This is your own doing’ (Malachi 1:9).”
And so [the evil inclination] changes its argument, at times [basing it] on compulsion and predetermination, at other times on justice and free will, as the occasion suites it to mislead and weaken you.

Time: Where does it come from? Where does it begin? Who determines time and what gift does time contain? “This month shall be to you the head of the months; to you it shall be the first of the months of the year.” Exodus 12:2 marks the beginning of time, as G-d gives the power of time to the children of Israel, and with it, the gift of freedom.
