26 DAYS LEFT TILL PURIM!!!
Al Pi HaRav Nissim Levy (morning Chok LYisrael shiur daily with breakfast, email me <ashoshany@gmail.com> for more info):
Our parasha this week, Parashat VaYakhel, brings back the mitzvat aseh of Trumah, the donation to the Kohanim (priests) of the Beit HaMikdash and all the materials and elements brought to the Mishkan. Three of the elements that were brought to the mishkan, out of the 15, were Gold, Silver and Copper. What can we learn from Zahav (Gold) Kesef (Silver) and Nechoshet (copper)? The question is really: What cant we not learn from these 3 things?!

Let's zoom into these words: What is one thing we can learn from this set?
Kriyat HaTorah, or all the times we need to open the Torah and read from it. How? 
Zahav consists of 3 letters, Zayin (7), Heh (5), and Bet (2). What are the 3 days of the week when we open the Torah? Shabat (7th day of the week), Thursday (5th), and Monday (2nd). What about Kesef? We have Chaf= Yom haKippurim (Kippur), Samech= Sukkot, and Phei= Pesach Purim. What about Nechoshet? Nun=Nerot (Channukah), Chet=Chodesh (Rosh, and Rosh HaShanah), Shin= Simchat Torah, Shmini Atzeret, Shavuot, Tav= Ta'anit.


That is amazing alone, now lets get even deeper into Zahav, Kesef, Nechoshet:
What else can we learn? The 3 different personalities when it comes to Giving Tzdaka.
The rashei tevot of each word symbolizes a saying about each different type of person who gives tzdaka:
Zahav = Zeh Hanoten Bari (The one who gives in a healthy manner, with simcha, quickly).
Kesef = KsheRoeh Sakana Poteach (The one who sees danger opens <his wallet>).
Nechoshet = Netinat Choleh She'omer Tnu (The one who is sick who says to give, meaning the one who is only about to leave this world or already has only gives then).

Wow. Is there anything else we can learn? Obviously there is.
Zahav, since in a pure state is red, symbolizes Midat HaDin of Hashem, the judgment element of Hashem. The word Zahav (as we mentioned before) consists of 3 letters, which in Gematriya decrease from 7 to 5 to 2. No one wants to decrease. The word Kesef is the opposite. Besides it symbolizing Midat HaRachamim, or mercy, of Hashem, it also increases in value from letter to letter (20 to 60 to 80). 
Do you believe that their is Shivim Panim LaTorah? I think so.
B'H we will open up our eyes to see that the Torah is THE source of truth and THE foundation that the world stands on. B'H we'll all have the zchut to taste the wisdom of the Torah HaKdosha :D.


Start off the week with a smile. SHAVUA TOV
