This parsha tells us how Moshe's appeal for donations to the Mishkan went viral on youtube and facebook, raising enormous funds for the building. After some controversy surrounding the transparency of the accounts, Moshe reluctantly asked for donations to stop - but fortunately he'd raised enough to get 3 layers of roof covering and plenty of goat hair. Success!
