Rabbi Charna Rosenholtz and Rabbi Shoshana Leis discuss the ancient Hebrew wisdom of Torah through a contemporary lens.
This week, the Rabbis discuss Parashat Vayakhel (https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.35.1?lang=bi&aliyot=0) through the lenses of becoming, creation, and imagination.
Exodus 35:30-32
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל רְא֛וּ קָרָ֥א יְהֹוָ֖ה בְּשֵׁ֑ם בְּצַלְאֵ֛ל בֶּן־אוּרִ֥י בֶן־ח֖וּר לְמַטֵּ֥ה יְהוּדָֽה׃
And Moses said to the Israelites: See, יהוה has singled out by name Bezalel, son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
וַיְמַלֵּ֥א אֹת֖וֹ ר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֑ים בְּחׇכְמָ֛ה בִּתְבוּנָ֥ה וּבְדַ֖עַת וּבְכׇל־מְלָאכָֽה׃
endowing him with a divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge in every kind of craft,
וְלַחְשֹׁ֖ב מַֽחֲשָׁבֹ֑ת לַעֲשֹׂ֛ת בַּזָּהָ֥ב וּבַכֶּ֖סֶף וּבַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃
and inspiring him to make designs for work in gold, silver, and copper,
וַיֹּ֣א
