By Ruth Brin
To devotion God set no limits,
and to dedication of the spirit
God set no bounds.
But great quantities of tribute God did not demand,
and the people were restrained from bringing
too much gold for the Tabernacle.
Though the Temples of Solomon and Herod
were far more costly,
it is written that the Divine Presence was found
more constantly in the humbler structure.
To dedicate the spirit to God is more difficult
than to give money,
to devote the whole heart to God
is more difficult than bringing gifts.
Not because of the gold on the walls
does the light of the sanctuary shine forth,
but because of the spirit within.
Those who worship carry away with them
more than they bring
for they find there the light to illumine
their lives.
