The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Hillel Shaps’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

paraa illuminated for paraa truma so paraa truma begins with the command to gather donations from the Jewish people for the building of the mishan the Tabernacle the mini portable Temple that they had in the desert and uh and there's a major question as to when this command took place this command to build the mishan because we command to build the mishan because we are coming off of the heels of Paras mtim which are basically the Revelation at sin Mish has many laws in it but it comes back at the end to talk about the events of the Revelation at Sinai next week will be par tavit going to continue with instructions regarding the preparing the kohanim for the priests for their role in the mishk and their clothing and their garments and their clothing and their garments and then we'll go to Paras Kisa and in Kisa we will have the sin of the golden calf which followed the giving of the Torah at Sinai um 40 40 Days Later approximately so so there we have the S of the golden calf and then we have two more Paras after Kisa in the book of shos and those are vako and PUD which come back to the building of the mishkan and deal the building of the mishkan and deal with the actual implementation of the commands that God gives in this this week's paraa and next week's paraa where Moshe then instructs the Jewish people and they actually bring their donations and they build everything and then we come to the end of the book of shamos so it's a very interesting order that we find the different pares here we have the Revelation at siai we have now the instruction to build the mishan in truma taba for how to do it God commanding Moshe then we have Kisa Kisa has many
