Vay'yakhel

Bill Cloud

The twenty-second reading from the Torah is called Vay'yakhel (ויקהל), which means "and he assembled." In this parsha, Moses invites the entire nation to participate in the building of the mishkan by bringing the items needed to build it. This portion highlights the willingness of the people to participate and the wisdom of the artificers responsible for taking what God had said and making it a physical reality.
