Vayakel and Parah - 2025

Chevre, this week’s parsha is Vayakel (ויקהל) and it’s Parshat Parah. The parsha starts off with Shabbat. This is a reminder that even for the work of the Mishkan (The Tabernacle), Shabbat overrides the construction. Therefore, all the more so, anything we may be building in our days. The parsha then goes through the construction where it’s reiterated what was already described in the last few parshiot. This is to tell us that the building went exactly to plan.
