What's Already There – Parshat Vayakhel/Pikudei 5786

from Ancient Lessons for a Modern Life with Adam Teitelbaum · host Adam Teitelbaum

Parshat Vayakhel opens with a remarkable invitation. Moses gathers the entire community and says: let all among you who are skilled come and make all that the Lord has commanded. All who are skilled. The doors are open. Everyone with something to contribute is welcome.And then, just a few lines later, something shifts. Moshe announces that God has specifically called out one person by name: Betzalel, son of Uri, and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom, insight, and craft, in every kind of skilled work needed to build the Mishkan.One person. Out of hundreds of thousands.I've been sitting with what that must have felt like for everyone else.
