I have chosen it because it is short (just four chapters), it is about migrant women (and therefore very timely), and it is just the kind of story that can raise a lot of discussions (this will become obvious as we proceed). The article is divided into three parts. The first part presents a brief outline of the Book of Ruth. The second part explains some customs and ideas found in the story that may appear strange to the reader.

II-10 Vayakhel From the Heart The Mishkan making is resumed after the Golden Calf Event, often interpreted as a form of atonement for the sin of idolatry. It opens with an exhortation for keeping the Shabbat, admonishing the Israelites to do the work in six days, but on the seventh day, rest. Regardless of how elaborate or monumental a project, limitations need to be set before beginning. Work in life is never completed, therefore God warns us to make space and time sacred for His Presence. Belalzel and Oholiab are the master craftsman ioverseeing the projects. Detailed activities of the women are related, emphasizing the importance of each person and individual gifts within the community. No gift is too small for the eyes of the beloved.
