Description: Why were the women the most enthusiastic donors to the Mishkan? And why were they rewarded with the holiday of Rosh Chodesh?In this shiur, delivered in TVA, Rav Burh explores the deeper spiritual difference between the Golden Calf and the Mishkan, between despair that demands immediate certainty and faith that can live through hiddenness. Through the symbolism of mirrors, the moon, and the power of renewal, we uncover the unique strength of those who can believe in redemption even when the light has nearly disappeared.
