(for Vayakhel - Pikudei)
i
God tells Moses to command the people
to donate materials
and craft the parts
that will make up God’s Tent,
God’s home.
*
When the people finish this work—
when they have given their materials
when the expert craftsmen have crafted
when the masterful women have woven cloth—
God says to Moses:
you, now,
take these parts
that the people have made
and assemble them into My Tent,
My home.
ii
A leader is one
who finds the amazing things
that each of the people offer
that each of the people can make
with the gifts they own
with the talents they have within them.
He knows how,
when these parts come together,
when these people come together
they can become something incredibly holy:
they can become a home for God.
Shabbat Shalom, Abe
