The Financial Crisis From a Torah Perspective

Shirat Devorah

"The Divine Presence was much more manifest in the Mishkan, in the SANCTUARY of Moyshe. The Others were destroyed. The Mishkan lasts: that powerfully indicates to U.S. that it's not about the amount of gold. It's not the wealth. It's not the vastness of the building that causes G-d to reside in the presence of the Jewish People. That can ultimately be destroyed, but G-d primarily decides who chooses to reside in the presence of G-d fearing people: to dwell amidst the people and a place of piety, of pious deeds, of spirituality and even more so, it emphasizes to us how the endurance and the stability of any home and any People and our world is contingent not upon the Material, but upon the spiritual element" {Rabbi Yitzchak Schochet}
