ParshaPix

Modified from past years. 
Pelephone in upper left could be how G-d called to Moshe — but it wasn't. 
Cow, goat, sheep, and dove are all represented. 
As is the Mizbei'ach for the Korbanot - much larger than the Golden M. Filled with earth (according to some opinions) each time the People camped. Plated with copper. A.k.a. External Altar. 
The salt shaker is for salting all korbanot and for the custom that came from that mitzva - namely, salting our HaMotzi. 
The hand with pinky sticking up and thumb pointing out is the Kohen's K'MITZA. In his palm, within the curl of the three middle fingers is the quantity of the Mincha dough that was burned on the Mizbei'ach. 
The kidney in the lower left is referred to several times in the sedra. 
Flour and oil are the main ingredients of Minachot and the frying pan and oven are two methods of preparing the Mincha. 
Side point: When kohanim ate the various types of Minachot - crackers, matzot, wafers, cakes, etc. they could eat then with other foods. Humus, tuna fish salad, peanut butter, etc. One can imagine that the kohen's wife packs a lunch of all but meat and matzot. 

TTriddles
Yes, I know people are busy with Pesach prepara- tions, but you can take a TTriddle break and recharge your energy cells. Or drain them. Whatever.
Last week's (Vayaqhel-P’kudei - HaCho.) TTriddles:
[1] Now you know why knishes are a popular Jewish food
[2] The piece of jewelry that non-Jews traditionally have a tough time pronouncing
[3] Definitely coming together more that previously
[4] Rain? No, stay put
[5] Multiple mention of the morrow
I have in these envelopes the answers to last week’s TTriddles. The envelopes have been hidden in a mayonnaise (for kitniyot eaters only) jar...
[1] Targum Onkeles is a favorite source of TTriddle material. Vayaqhel, and (Moshe) gathered... ADAT, the community is rendered as KNISHTA. 
[2] Among the gold items mentioned in the collection of materials for the building of the Mishkan are several types of jewelry: CHACH, which Rashi says is a round gold band worn on the arm, NEZEM, TABA’AT, KUMAZ. It is the first of these items that would be a nightmare to the stereotypical non-Jew who has difficulty with Chanuka and Challa, as in Happy Hanuka and Halla bread. CHACH. It’s hard to say.
[3] Of course, on a straight question and answer, it is the Mishkan that is finally coming together after the sedras of instructions and command.. But that’s not TTriddly enough without noticing the connective VAVs that we find in Vayaqhel, but not in T’ruma. For example: SHEMEN... B’SAMIM... AVNEI... in T’ruma become V’SHEMEN... U’V’SAMIM... V’AVNEI... There are other cases too.
[4] Let’s say you see clouds in the sky. You might guess that rain is coming. If you saw a CLOUD over the Mishkan in the Midbar and asked, RAIN? You would be told, NO, STAY PUT, the Cloud’s presence means we remain camped. When the Cloud lifts, then we travel.
[5]In the hard copy of Torah Tidbits, this TTriddle said Quadruple mention. But there are actually at least five references to the day after last Shabbat, namely Rosh Chodesh Nissan. In Shmot 40:2 and again in 40:17, Rosh Chodesh Nissan is mentioned. The Maftir for HaChodesh sort of mentions it. Let’s count it. The opening pasuk of the Torah mentions it, and, of course we mentioned it in Rosh Chodesh Benching. Multiple mentions of the Morrow.
Solvers of note this week are the Miller brothers who temporarily bridged the 6000 miles that usually separates them with the visit of MM/Bklyn. The team of D&M M proved too formidable for our other Pesach-distracted solvers.

This week's TTriddles:
[1] CLEAVE BUT CLEAVE
[2] Both of a Hebrew anagram-pair are used in a minhag that comes from a mitzva in the sedra
[3] Self-anagram (Hebrew, in the sedra)
[4] Use the confused clan for a mitzva
[5] The difference between 142 and 345 is a little one
[6] The link to Baruch's poem
[7] These and their Targums are pulled out of a hat
