Parashat Terumah
The Role Of Ritual
In focusing on ritual laws, Parashat Terumah teaches us that by reliving heroic historic moments we can introduce the transcendent into our daily lives.
Using Our Contributions To Create The Sacred
In order to help build sacred space, the act of giving must be accompanied by a heart that reaches out to others.
Give And Take
The fundraising campaign to build the Mishkan (Tabernacle) teaches us that in true Tzedakah, the giver benefits as much as the taker.
A Sanctuary Within
The construction and sacrificial activities of the Sanctuary, which are now expressed in prayer, give us the opportunity to encounter the divine.
The Menorah: Let Your Light Shine
The menorah teaches that each of us has a unique gift to contribute to the world.
