for parshat Vayakhel - Pikudei
i
They snatched their wive’s gold
and Aaron melted it
and they worshipped the golden calf
that came of this.
*
That is what we know.
ii
We know the cloth
and the wood
and the metals
and the dimensions
and the crastmanship
that go into the Tent of God.
The Torah tells us
over and over.
iii
An idol is useless
so what it is made of
is rendered useless,
and the building of it
is a useless act.
None of it
bears mention.
*
If you put the materials of the earth
and the materials you own
and the materials you create
and your skills of making
to God’s work,
all of it
is worth talking about
because all of it
becomes holy.

Shabbat Shalom,

There are details to the Golden Calf that I have left out, but I think my point is valid nonetheless.
