“Vayachel-P’kudei,” a double Torah reading and the final chapters of the Book of Exodus, features two rarely mentioned characters of the Torah: Bezalel and his artistic assistant Ohavia. These artists were picked by HaShem to be the architects of the spiritual center of the Israelites, including the Tabernacle, the Aron Kodesh, the Golden Menorah, all the ritual articles to be used in the Mishkan. The Midrash speaks of Bezalel’s spiritual connection to HaShem and his ability to interpret God’s desire into physical form.
Rabbi Galit Shirah conducts a weekday Ma’ariv service every Thursday for Sim Shalom, the online synagogue. Sim Shalom presents livestream services Monday-Thursday, with a different rabbi each day. To say Kaddish, pray for healing and to hear a spiritual message, go to SimShalom.com.
Zoom classes for beginning Hebrew and Pirke Avot will begin soon. For more information, contact the Rabbi at (562) 715-0888 or duets@icloud.com.
