A D'var Torah by Rabbi Sacks on Vayakhel-Pekudei in the age of the coronavirus pandemic
Dear Friends,
This Shabbat, many synagogues will be empty as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
In this D'var Torah, broadcast earlier today on Facebook and Instagram from my home in London, I explored what we can learn about the current state of the world from this week's double parsha of Vayakhel-Pekudei.
I hope you don't mind us sharing this with you, in addition to this week’s Covenant & Conversation.
Wishing you and your family a safe, healthy and meaningful Shabbat.
Shabbat shalom,
Rabbi Sacks
