Vayakhel (“Moses assembled the entire assembly”)

Exodus 35:1 – 38:20

Here are some of the holy vessels that were made for the Mishkan – the Tabernacle – which included the 7 pronged menorah hewn of one piece of gold symbolizing Torah wholeness and wisdom.  Righteous women brought their mirrors to be made into the “kiyor” – the Laver used for holy washing and purifications and here the water is transformed into the colors of the four worlds onto the hands of the priest.  The skin of the died red sheep skin was used to make the covering of the mishkan.
