Parsha:

Behaalotecha 

Description

In light of the timelessness of the trumpets, like all the other vessels used first in the Mishkan and, when appropriate, then used in the Beit HaMikdash, it is striking that the Talmud (Menachot 28a-b) states that Moshe was commanded not to pass on the trumpets to the next generation. Rather, he was instructed to ensure that Yehoshua and the generations that followed would craft their own. Each generation was to make their own trumpets. Why is this so?
