Parshah in a Nutshell: Vayak'hel-PekudeiGot no more than five minutes? The Parshah in a Nutshell is an ultra-short, one-page synopsis of the weekly Torah reading, peppered with links to related stories, essays and articles. |
Text of Parshah with Rashi: Vayak'hel-PekudeiA modern English translation of the full text of the Parshah with the classic commentary by Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki, 1040-1105), universally regarded as the most basic tool for understanding the meaning of the text for schoolchild and scholar alike. |
Parshah in Depth: Vayak'hel-PekudeiExplore the Parshah together with a hundred generations of scholars and mystics, from Moses to today. Includes a detailed summary and overview, and dozens of selected excerpts from the Midrash, Talmud, the Commentaries and the Chassidic Masters. |
