The Five Yisroels

The Way of Emunah | June 27, 2025

The Five “Yisroels”:

The word “Yisroel” is written five times in this verse. Sefer Toldos Yitzchok writes that this is a way of honoring and showing love for the nation. He compares this to a father who says his son’s name over and over. For example, when his son comes home from school, he might say, “Moishele, you’re home! Moishele, eat something. Moishele, drink something.”

The word “Mishkan” is also written five times, representing the Five Books of the Torah, through which the world is sustained.
