The Parsha in Chesed – Shvi’i Shel Pesach
Rav Aryeh Levin, the famed Tzadik of Yerushalyim, like many other great men, was reputed to carry only small coins with him. This practice was not only due to a modest lifestyle. Rav Aryeh was frequently approached by those asking for alms. Rav Aryeh did not want to pull out a larger denomination and ask for change, lest the petitioner think for even a second that he was going to receive a larger donation. For Rav Aryeh it was preferable to walk around with the burden of many small coins than to potentially disappoint another person for even a second.
When the Jewish People were about to build their first synagogue the sanctuary in the desert the architects were told by God to design a sculpture to sit above the holy ark. “Two cherubim, two angel-like figures shall be chiseled on each end of the cover. And the cherubim shall have their wings spread upwards toward heaven with their faces turned toward one another.” (Exodus 25:18-20)
Here, in just two sentences, we have a blueprint for the purpose of the desert Sanctuary built by Moses, in Parashah Vayakhel, long ago and the shul built by the Jew today.
And the cherubim shall have their wings spread upwards as if flying toward the heavens. The function of a synagogue is primarily to lift us heavenward, to lift us out of the everyday earthliness and to lead us to higher ideals. We enter the synagogue to soar and take flight.
