Editor's Note:
Dear readers,
G‑d orders a house. Not just any house; a very specific house.
Construction begins. Fifteen different materials are needed. The building crew gets to work melting, soldering, sculpting, carving, weaving and dyeing.
The house needs to be functional, but also collapsible, transportable and easy to put back together.
Sounds pretty complicated to me.
Factor in a vast dry desert, no Google, and the year 2448 (1313 BCE), and I'd classify the task as formidable at best.
But they did it. And it only took a few months of hard, diligent and inspired labor.
How did they pull it off? G‑d gave them the tools and wisdom they needed. He knew what He wanted from them, and they knew it too. It shouldn't have been possible, but it was.
Three thousand years later, we are not privy to direct commands from G‑d. But we have a pretty good idea what he wants of us: To make this world a better place through the lives we live.
Do we have the tools?
We sure do: Studying Torah and living the commandments.
And a pretty good access point to those tools is chabad.org [ http://link.Chabad.org/go.asp?li=3FA0371FC909AF50840A2DEBD91ACE4E&ui=F8C16ABBBCDB72AD0024EE2F647D78D2 ] . . .
