The exquisite detail of the building of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) as described in parashat Vayakhel is a testimony to the end of time of the pure, generous and giving heart of Israel, all of whom united in the purpose and privilege of making a place for G-d on our earth, a Sanctuary, so that He may dwell among us.

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane…” no, it’s just the Kohen Gadol, ordinary mortal but super-hero, nonetheless, serving G-d in the Holy Temple. With the powers vested in his priestly vestments, the integrity which fills his heart and his unfettered love for his brethren and for all humanity, the kohen serving beside the altar in the Holy Temple is the embodiment of every virtue and act of courage portrayed by modern fictional super heroes.

Parashat Terumah records the moment in which G-d officially invites man to welcome His Presence into our world. “Build for Me a sanctuary.” Are we up for it? Do we have it in our hearts to give just a little of ourselves for so much in return? Do it for Me, G-d says, “and I will dwell among them.” Dare we answer no? Dare we answer yes?

We can liberate ourselves by recognizing that G-d is all there is and that all the world belongs to Him. The lofty ideals and transcendent experience of the Sinai revelation need to be translated into action and transformed into a “G-d conscious consciousness” that informs and animates our every thought and deed.

The encounter at Sinai between man and G-d, the giving and receiving of Torah, the welcoming of Israel into G-d’s world and the welcoming of G-d into our world, this is what G-d had in mind, this is what He intended and this is why He created the world all those many years ago. From this moment on Israel has a mission: To share G-d’s Torah and the knowledge of His Oneness with all the world.

Post-parting of the Sea of Reeds depression nags the children of Israel, as they question whether G-d is still with them, just days after the greatest miracle in history leaves them giddy with prophecy. The cure, they learn, is not in the reliving of past heights, but in embracing the day, with all its bitter-sweet reality.
