purim torah in jest - PTIJ - Heart transplants



Shemos 25:2 states:



וְיִקְחוּ־לִ֖י תְּרוּמָ֑ה מֵאֵ֤ת כׇּל־אִישׁ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִדְּבֶ֣נּוּ לִבּ֔וֹ תִּקְח֖וּ אֶת־תְּרוּמָתִֽי׃


And they should take for me a donation from any man who wishes to donate his heart, they should take his donation.




This is carried out in Shemos 35:22:



כל נדיב לב הביאו


Each man who donated his heart brought it



How could the Torah be Matir a heart transplant if Rav Moshe says it is Assur? (See this article.)






Answer



The passuk in Yechezkel says that HKB"H will take your heart of stone and replace it with a heart of bassar, showing us that when one does tshuva HKB"H does the heart transplant for him, without any maisa biyaddayim on his part, making it muttar. So too, the mishkan was tshuva for the eigal, so it was muttar.
