This week's Parsha seems a bit repetitive, but we learn about those who actually made the Tabernacle, according to Hashem's plan. B'nai Yisrael has been forgiven since building the Golden Calf (which Michael thinks was more like a "Summer Art Project") and now they must step up to build a beautiful place where Hashem may dwell among them. Let's dive in!

Ki Tisa and The Golden Calf
We're back from Purim with Parshat Ki Tisa, this being Michael's very favorite (IYKYK). While Moses is with God for 40 days and 40 nights, the Israelites get worried he's not coming back, so they build a Golden Calf. God is pissed, but forgives them.We are in Boston this weekend for a family Bar Mitzvah. Mazal Tov, Theo Klots!Please enjoy this offering!

Happy Purim! In this special bonus episode, you'll hear our thoughts on Megillat Esther, the scroll that we read each year on Purim. It's nice to have a holiday with a heroine, using her feminine wiles to save our people.Have a joyous, festive Purim, even in these troubling times!

Terumah and Jewish Mexico
Briyah is in Queens and Michael is in Mexico. Sounds about right! Mexico is full of pyramids and magnificent colors.This week's Parsha is Terumah, in which Hashem tells Moses to gather donated materials from the Israelites so that they may build a Mishkan, a dwelling place for Hashem. At first, it seems this parsha is a bit boring because of all the details instruction. But actually it is filled with beauty and gemstones. Hashem adores us so much and knows we need this for ourselves so that we may learn to give from our entire beings.Thank you, Hashem! And thank you for listening to our Podcast.Shabbat Shalom
