This Shabbat we read the portion of Terumah, which begins the discussion concerning the construction of the Temple in the desert. Since the Torah is not simply a history book, and every portion has lessons for each of us at all times, we will look at some lessons from this week’s portion.

Exodus 13:17 - 17:16; Judges 4:4 - 5:31; Luke 6:1-16
This week’s portion contains many miracles and many tests of faith that the Jewish people endured. All of the miracles teach us to rely on Hashem and follow His directives. After the Jewish people left Egypt, Pharaoh and his army chased them, pinning them against the ocean. The Jewish people were thrown into a state of confusion. Amongst the people there were those who sought to return to Egypt.

Obstacles to Freedom
"You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites." (Shemot / Exodus 7:2-4)
