True unity transcends our differences, we become whole and complete. The significance of the “Half shekel” donation. By creating Adam alone, God teaches us that every individual is like a whole world. But this is only half the story. When the Torah requires a donation from every single Jew to connect us all as one to the work of the Holy Temple, it tells each to bring precisely a half-Shekel. Why not something whole and perfect? Torah is teaching us a lesson: Only when we join together with our fellow Jew do we become whole and holy. No matter how different the other may be, in customs, in experience, or in temperament - bonds of love must still join us.
Love can unite even opposites in a bond that is true and lasts forever. It gives us the power to be united as “the people of Mordechai,” neither bending nor bowing.
