This Week’s Torah Portion: T’rumah – תְּרוּמָה (Exodus 25:1−27:19)
“…make a Temple for me, and I will dwell among them”
The great endeavor of having God dwell among us begins as we are building a Temple for God.
That has worked with the ebbs and flow for our people for thousands of years. The synagogues and the temples always being the centers of Jewish live and tradition and community.
Is that still the case?
What can we do to make it better?
