Vayakhel 5785 - Divine Crowdfunding

Join us this week on Mussar HaTorah for our episode "Divine Crowdfunding: How an Ancient Fundraiser Changed Judaism Forever," where we explore history's first viral giving campaign that was so successful Moses had to ask people to stop donating! Drawing on Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' brilliant insights, we uncover how the building of the Mishkan revolutionized religious practice by democratizing holiness and inviting everyone—regardless of status or gender—to become partners in creating sacred space. Discover why this 3,000-year-old story of communal enthusiasm and creative partnership isn't just ancient history, but a blueprint for meaningful spiritual life today. Listen now to find how this extraordinary Biblical crowdfunding campaign offers wisdom for building our own sacred communities in a fractured world. This is a public episode.
