Feelings DO Matter

SHEKOLIM Feelings DO Matter Why did Moshe get confused when he heard about silver? What was not clear about the commandment of giving half a shekel, that Moshe needed explanations and demonstrations from above about what was being talked about? Why did Hashem show him in response "a coin of fire" and say "this they shall give - like this they shall give"? Why a coin of fire and not a regular metal coin? Who gives coins in fire? Moshe did not understand how silver atones for the soul? How does matter repair the spirit?
