Parashat Vayakhel 5782: Repairing Even the Worst Ruptures
Description: Even after warning against all forms of constructive creativity in the Ten Commandments, the Torah explicitly warns now against using fire on Shabbat. Legal ramifications aside, the prohibition against fire cautions us about the tendency of our hottest emotion – anger – to burn through our most precious relationships.
How do the seemingly repetitive verses and the joint project of building of the Mishkan / tabernacle provide a structure and a framework for anticipating without panic, and repairing the inevitable ruptures in our lives, our families, and our communities?
