AVROHOM YAAKOV
One of the main problems that face our society is the lack of devotion to task. For almost everyone at job or work, it is just a job. Little or no commitment. Success or failure is only determined by the paycheque. Come 5pm and all responsibility ends.
“And Bezalel made [the Ark].” (37:1)
Rashi explains that “Because he gave himself over to the work more whole-heartedly than the other wise men it is called after his name (his name alone is associated with the act) (Midrash Tanchuma, Vayakhel 10).”
The Torah is providing us with answer to success at anything we do, be it work, family or life.
Betzalel gave himself over.
He made a commitment to the task, not to the pay, not to climbing the corporate ladder, not to seeking credit for the job. He committed to getting the job done.
And that is why Betzalel is forever known by his efforts with the Mishkan.
Are you fully committed to your job, family, religion or whatever you hold dear?
