Parsha with the Chief: Pekudei – The Power of Action

Judaism is a system grounded not only in vision and ideas, but in action. As we study Parshat Pekudei, we return once again to the Mishkan—the portable sanctuary that stood at the heart of Jewish life in the desert. The Torah dedicates extensive space not only to its design, but to its actual construction. Why such repetition? Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein draws on the timeless wisdom of Pirkei Avot to uncover a profound truth: in Judaism, it is not enough to think or speak—we must act. The repetition is not excess; it is emphasis. A reminder that great plans only matter when they are brought to life. This parsha shiur is a deep dive into the values of integrity, follow-through, and spiritual action. Learn why the Torah emphasises deed over thought, and how this message from Parshat Pekudei can transform your daily life. Join the Chief for a powerful reflection on how the Mishkan teaches us to live with purpose, discipline, and follow-through.   #Parsha #Pekudei #ChiefRabbi #Torah #PirkeiAvot #JewishWisdom #Mishkan #Judaism #JewishLearning #SinaiIndaba #JewishLeadership #ActionAndWisdom
