Vayakhel

This week, still in the building of the Mishkan, Moshe asks כֹּ֚ל נְדִ֣יב לִבּ֔וֹ, everyone who is generous of heart, to bring donations. The people bring gold, silver, and copper. Blue, purple, and crimson yarn, animal skins, oil, and wood. So many gifts that Moshe is told, “The people are bringing more than is needed!” Moshe tells them to stop bringing. The Sfat Emet explains, “This act of offering and uplifting brought forth all the giving and desire that lay hidden within their hearts.” Meaning, that though Israelites had an overflowing love and attachment to G!d, it had been covered by their mistake with the Golden Calf. When the people were asked to give from their hearts, the mitzvah acted as a lamp to illuminate and expose the love that was hidden from them, and the floodgates were open. In what way can we shine a light on the beautiful parts of us that may be currently covered and out of sight?
