Our portion begins
With the Shabbat commandment
Then, building begins

Mishkan construction
Supervised by Betzalel
And Oholiab

They work for six days
But even building G-d’s place
They pause for Shabbat

For Shabbat – a song
It’s an infectious ditty
By the Maccabeats

If you’re on Facebook, you’ve almost certainly seen this. Watch it again – it’s worth it! Go ahead … your feet will start tapping as a smile comes to your face.

But the work must stop
Each week to observe Shabbat
It’s G-d’s day of rest
