Vayakhel/Parah
In Ki Sisa, Shabbos is mentioned,
Only after the Mishkan’s details,
But Shabbos comes first in Vayakhel,
I’m wondering what this entails.
Chazal teach us several perspectives,
I’m sure I have not seen them all,
But looking at Kabbalos Shabbos,
Lecha Dodi sure runs with the ball.
Sof maaseh, b’machshavah techila,
Last created, but first in His thoughts,
So Shabbos is placed at the end of our week,
But it’s also the first thing God wrought.
The week is for building our mishkan,
With parentheses, beginning and end,
Which are Shabbos, the day of kedushah,
A gift from the mind of HaShem.
