Pekudai



To donate for the Tabernacle, the Jews were driven,
For every detail, the command was given,
But why does it all have to be repeated?
Why couldn't the Torah just say that it was all completed?

Sometimes we have a great idea in mind,
But to actually do it, is hard we find,
We get distracted by "pizza pies and ice creams,"
And we don't always actualize our dreams.

We need to take the ideal,
And turn it into something real,
This is why it is necessary to repeat,
Every detail when it was complete.

Terumah and Tetzaveh, are the building plans,
In Vayakhel and Pekudai, we have to do it with our hands,
First we need to have the divine vision,
Then we create the physical version.

On this earth, we have one mission,
To bring Hashem's will into fruition,
The angels and souls are counting on me and you,
Because this is something only we can do.

Dear Uri, your sudden passing broke every heart,
To actually bring Moshiach, we will do our part,
From your example we will learn,
To be reunited with you, we yearn.
