The sefer Darash Mordechai by Rav Mordechai Druk brings a question from his own son: We know that Chazal spend a lot of time praising Moshe Rabbeinu for the fact that he spent his final hours in Mitzrayim locating and retrieving the bones of Yosef which he took with him. (Shemos 13:19) Chazal praise Moshe by noting that the rest of the Jewish people were occupying themselves with collecting “the booty of Egypt” while Moshe occupied himself with Mitzvos, quoting the pasuk “The wise in heart, will take Mitzvos…” (Mishlei 10:8) The son of the Darash Mordechai asked his father: “Why is there no praise given to the people who made it their business to gather up the Acacia wood that Yaakov brought down to Mitzrayim and schlep it out with them?” If we consider that the central beam (Beriach ha’Tichon) was approximately 64 feet long (32 Amos) then that was certainly a cumbersome task, to say the least. It is better to do a chessed by bringing pleasure to a widow, even if it means making the bracha on just one tree, rather than adding the dimension of the Zohar’s preference of making the Birkas Ilanos on two trees.” This is again an example that if a person can combine into his Man- God mitzvosa dimension of a Man-Man mitzvah, that is indeed preferable. He imbued him with a Godly spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge — and in every craft.” (35:31-32) The Torah testifies that Hashem granted Betzalel a “Godly spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge —and in every craft.”[1] Yet the Torah then says that Betzalel “thought thoughts,” which implies, writes Rav Moshe Shmuel 7 Shapira, that Betzalel still needed to use his own mind to create the Mishkan. Rav Moshe Shmuel Shapira answered that even with all the knowledge in the world, Betzalel still needed to use his own creativity in applying those talents in the most effective way.[2] Essentially, therefore, it was Betzalel’s creativity which contributed towards the building of the Mishkan — the place where Hashem would be most manifest in the world.[3] So too, each of us have been granted incredible and unique talents and tools to make Hashem’s presence more manifest in the world. In fact, Rav Chaim Shmuelevits would often repeat this message when he spoke before Neila on Yom Kippur,
