First we build a home, and then we fill it with furniture So why did Moses initially command Betzalel to make the furniture first?

In parshat Vayakhel, we read how everyone gave donations for the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels, garments, etc.

I find that life has gotten difficult. I wonder why G‑d has chosen to give me ALS.

The "spiritual awakening" that is the objective and culmination of our working the Steps has been described as heaven on earth.

We all have different levels of ability, opportunity and commitment. Every one of us has strengths and weaknesses. The foundation of the edifice, however, is built of constancy . . .
