Parsha:

Ki Tisa 

Description

The apparent contradiction between the almost opulent Torah descriptions of the Mishkan (tabernacle) construction, its vessels, and the Kohen Gadol's clothing on the one hand, and the Mishnah in Pirkei Avos to eat bread with salt, drink just a measure of water and sleep on the earth. Wealthy and poor Chassidic Masters and their chassidim (followers). The royal aspect of every Jew. Haman's need for riches and glory. Why are a blemished Kohen or animal unfit for sacrifice or working in the Beis Hamikdash? The proper way of serving Hashem with wealth. Are we slaves to our wealth? The absolute faith of a Breslover Chassid.
