Bezalel is one of the most fascinating figures in the Torah. Despite being only 13 years old, he was entrusted with the immense responsibility of constructing the Mishkan and its sacred vessels. His wisdom, connection to divine inspiration,
and spiritual legacy offer profound lessons. We have given a number of classes
on Bezalel over the years and they are available in podcasts. I have an
affinity towards Bezalel due mainly to my father’s admiration of him and how my dad and for generations before him were craftsmen of holy objects. You can hear more about that in the previous classes posted.   

 This class will explore Bezalel’s unique role through some key themes: his wisdom, and I would like to specifically explore the power of the Aleph Bet on a level joining the spiritual and the physical, his connection to Hur and the concept of Ibbur and reincarnation or the Ruach of Chur entering him at the age of 13, his approach to constructing the Mishkan which seemed to differ from Moshe’s instructions where we will review an approach from Above to Below, vs Building up Below to Above, And perhaps the personal lessons we can learn from Besalel
