The Torah tells us something surprising: After all the experts had finished their work, they could not actually raise the components of the tabernacle. The Mishkan was too heavy and complex for ordinary human strength. Rashi explains that they brought the parts of the Mishkan to Moses, and he, in turn, asked Hashem how it could be erected. G-d answered him: \u201cYou show yourself as if you are raising it, and the Tabernacle will rise by itself.\u201d Why couldn\u2019t Moses erect the Mishkan by himself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashem does not expect us to achieve the impossible on our own. He expects the \u201cwork of our hands\u201d \u2013 our preparatory effort. As soon as we do the maximum that is incumbent upon us, the Creator does His own part. A limited person, of flesh and blood, cannot \u201cforce\u201d the infinite to dwell within finite matter. Only divine blessing and faith together with human act can transform the tabernacle to a vessel for the Divine light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a reminder that obedience to the Seven Commandments is a spiritual act that attracts infinite Divine light to physical life. The purpose of every person in the world is to create a dwelling place for Hashem. When a Noahide takes upon himself these commandments because the Creator commanded them, he brings his own human force and connects it with the power of Hashem. The story of the construction of the tabernacle serves as a roadmap for a Noahide as he builds his own \u201cpersonal tabernacle\u201d within his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire world is experiencing the crisis caused by the war and the global tensions. This should strengthen our faith in G-d, as the final elevation of the creation is just around the corner. The Creator is not limited whatsoever. By His infinite grace, the entire lower world was created, however, even now there is nothing besides Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>G-d promised in His Torah that He Himself would protect the Holy Land, the Land of Israel. Just as we see His promise fulfilled, so too will the promise given to the children of Noah be fulfilled. Observing the Seven Noahide Commandments is surely one of the things that can hasten the redemption and salvation to the entire world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Door Rabbijn Moshe Bernstein<\/strong><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Rashi on Exodus 39:33.
