All From Hashem

Anyone who has hesitated before giving knows the voice that says the money was hard to earn. Moshe gathers Bnei Yisrael to give to the Mishkan, and before he asks for anything he repeats the mitzvah of Shabbos, adding that for six days "work will be done," in the passive. Why Shabbos first, and why that wording? Rav Shlomo Ganzfried reads it as a message about where our income really comes from. A factory owner in Russia brushes off the Chofetz Chaim, and finds out what was at stake.
