HaShem filled Betzalel with the precious wisdom of crafting the intricate vessels of the Mishkan. He was a master craftsman of gold and silver handiwork, precision engravings, and ornamental embroideries. Creative geniuses often choose not to share their wisdom and knowledge with others. Whereas, Betzalel graciously shared his wisdom with other people. He delighted in giving others the opportunity to participate in the great Mitzvah of building the Mishkan, the dwelling place of the Shechinah. Lesson: It is praiseworthy for us to share our wisdom, advice, and knowledge with our friends and loved ones. The more we enlighten others, the more HaShem will bless us, grants us happiness, and expand our wisdom. Visualization: Envision Betzalel receiving wisdom from HaShem and forming the exquisite vessels of the Mishkan. See Betzalel joyfully sharing his precious wisdom with others who wanted to join in the holy work of building the Mishkan. Be inspired to lovingly share your wisdom, assistance, and suggestions with everyone who could benefit from your goodness.
