Parashat HaShavua Parashat Shekalim - Everyone is Accountable for a Relationship With God

In this shiur, we will look at the Parasha and Haftara for Shekalim, and offer contemporary perspective on the ideas therein.
We will look at the haftara's connections with the Parasha but delve into the haftara to shed light on a lesson for contemporary life about implementing a system with checks and balances, with an appropriate balance between trust and accountability. We also find messages about the need for the People of Israel to rise above passivity - every individual must be active and involved in order to develop a relationship with God
