Hi Rabbi Golldberg, In your shiur for this week's parsha, you seem to make a distinction between the pasuk in parshas תרומה which says ויקחו לי תרומה and this weeks parsha קחו מאתכם תרומה. If I understood correctly, the תרומה in parshas תרומה allowed goyim to donate, however in our parsha, it only included Jews because the תרומה was for a holy purpose. It seems to me like all the donations were for building the Mishkan and were holy, therefore they should have the same requirements. Why is ויקחו לי different from קחו מאתכם Thank you for your time, יונה שער

בוקר טוב In the comment by the Ramban, he questions where the Jewish people who had just come out of slavery get the skills to make the Mishkan? Doesn't the term חכמת לב mean that Hashem gave them the required knowledge. Just like Bezalel received all the knowledge regarding the Mishkan, people who were motivate to participate in the building got specific skills. Thank you for your time and I enjoy listening to your insightful ideas יונה שער
