Embracing our Differences - Terumah

Lately, I've been learning more about my coworkers and noticing how different we all are. It got me thinking: What's the point of connecting with people with different opinions or ways of doing things? Wouldn't it be easier if we all saw things the same way?

In this week's parsha, Terumah, we read about the Mishkan, a complex structure made of various different materials. At first, it might seem like a lot. However, the beauty of the Mishkan lies in its mix of different elements working together to create something special.

This idea can apply to our everyday lives, too. Just like the Mishkan, it embraces different styles and works together to make a beautiful creation. So, too, our relationships and workplaces become stronger through the differences. Instead of trying to make everyone the same, let's appreciate what makes each person unique. By valuing each other's strengths, we can grow together and transform the world!

Good Shabbos!

All the best!
