Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein • Meshech Chochmah Parshas Vayakhel - Betzalel’s Wisdom | 3 manner of labor,”9 in our Parsha he is referred to as one who is qualified “‫ַלַ ֲעֲ ׂשֹו ֹת ְּבָּכָ ל ְמְ ֶלֶ אֶכֶ ת‬ ‫ – ַמַ ֲחֲ ָׁשֶׁבֶ ת‬to perform all manner of thought-out labor.”10 The added element of correct “thought” within the construction of the Mishkan became an essential requirement in light of the potential pitfalls that were revealed at the time of the Egel. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein 2024 / 5784 MESHECH CHOCHMAH Parshas Vayakhel Betzalel’s Wisdom ‫ַוַ ֹּיּאֶמֶ ר ֹמֹ ֶׁשׁ ה ֶאֶ ל ְּבּ ֵנֵי ִיִ ְׂשָׂרָ ֵאֵל ְראּו ָקָ ָרא ה' ְּבּ ֵׁשׁ ם ְּבּ ַצַ ְלְ ֵאֵל ֶּבּ ן אּוִרִ י ֶבֶ ן חּור ְלְ ַמַ ֵּטּ ה ְיְהּוָדָ ה‬ Moshe said to Bnei Yisrael, “See, Hashem has appointed by name, Betzalel son of Uri son of Chur, of the tribe of Yehudah” (35:30) A Standard – and Unusual – Introduction With these words, Moshe introduces the individual charged with overseeing the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels as well as the manufacture of the bigdei kehuna – the priestly garments. Chazal1 relate that when Bnei Yisrael stood at the banks of the Yam Suf and saw that they were being pursued by the Egyptians, it was representatives of the tribe of Yehudah who risked their lives and entered the sea even before it had split, thereby sanctifying Hashem’s name. Indeed, most telling in this regard is the observation of R’ Yosef Yaavetz,3 known as the Chassid Yaavetz, who states that in the times of the Inquisition, it was generally the unlearned Jews who remained steadfast in their faith, even to the point of sacrificing their lives, while it was the more scholarly and philosophically inclined who were prepared to rationalize and justify an abdication of their religious beliefs under pressure. Rabbi Immanuel Bernstein • Meshech Chochmah Parshas Vayakhel - Betzalel’s Wisdom | 2 ‫ַוַַּיַּעַ ׂש ְּבּ ַצַ ְלְ ֵאֵל ֶאֶ ת ָהָ ָאֹרֹן‬ Betzalel made the Aron Why is the Torah prepared to refer to Betzalel with the pronoun “he” with regards to every aspect of the Mishkan and its vessels except for the Aron? Being descended from Chur, the very person who stood up to those who sought to make the Egel, and sacrificed his life in the process
