Master Architects Join Building Crew

The building of the Mishkan is well under way with a wave of excitement growing at a dizzying pace. Talented men and women, under the expert guidance of the chief architects Betzalel and Ahaliav, are shaping gold and silver, carving wood, and spinning wool.

Both Betzalel and Ahaliav were seen doing much of the building work themselves. When questioned by our TNS reporter, Berel Shmerl Shazakowitz, Betzalel replied, “What’s the question?! Isn’t it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?! To help build a dwelling place for HaShem, the King of kings, is below my dignity?! What’s wrong with rolling up my sleeves and helping out a little?! It’s an absolute honor and a privilege, isn’t it?”
