Tetzave/Vayakhel
Building the Soul
From the Haftorah Series

The Holy Temple was the physical manifestation of the collective soul of the Jewish people, so learning about its vessels and dimensions reveals spiritual dimensions within ourselves. Rabbi Wein delves into the deep meanings (overused phrase) behind the many tools and structures within the Temple, reminding us, as the prophet Ezekiel did, that spirituality, and not the outer trappings, is the most important thing.
