An analysis of two key verses in this week's Parsha - Terumah:
1. "Take for Me" = For My Sake
2. "Make for Me" = For My Sake
A close look at Rashi's commentary on these verses gives us insight into two stages in the process of building the tabernacle.
1. "Take for Me": Designate your possessions to the building of a House for Hashem.
2. "Make for Me": Elevate the materials, transforming them into holiness.
The inspiring lesson takeaway, calling us to incorporate both stages, of Designate and Elevate, in the building of our own 'House for Hashem'.
