Erev Shabbos Parshat Vayakhel
Diamonds and Settings:
Torah Portions Through the Eyes of Our Scholars
Volume 5

This seminal piece, authored by Rabbi Mecklenberg, and brilliantly expounded on By Rabbi Wein helps make the distinction between what we call “work” on Shabbat and what the actual prohibition is as stated in the Torah. This distinction, based on the exact wording used, brings about keen insights into what is prohibited and what is permitted. Learning these textual differentiations will create a clear and precise understanding to the laws contained within.
