Episode: Vayakhel/Pekudei - Why Moshe Shut Down the Mishkan Fundraiser
Description: In this shmooze, delivered at the final Mevaseret Mishmar of the Zman, Rav Burg explores the deeper psychology and spirituality behind that moment. Sometimes endless giving is not abundance, it is the lingering voice of scarcity. The Mishkan was meant to heal the rupture of the Eigel, to remind the Jewish people of a profound truth: בנים אתם לה׳ אלקיכם — you are children of Hashem, no matter what.
