The double Torah portion of “Vayakhel-Pekudei” (Exodus 35:1-40:30) describes the construction of the Tabernacle, the portable “Temple” that the Jews took with them as they wandered the desert.
No matter how important constructing the House of God might be, we are told that there is something that takes priority even over that: the Sabbath! There is absolutely no project, no matter how great or noble, that supersedes Shabbat.
Join Rabbi Enkin for an in-depth explanation about the laws of Shabbat. What type of “work” are we allowed to do and what is forbidden? When may – or must – Shabbat be “violated”?
This webinar explores how Shabbat is observed in the Israeli army and emergency rescue units – and how life and death matters are dealt with on Shabbat.
You will also learn how to maximize the beauty and meaning of the Shabbat experience!
