“They shall make for Me a Tabernacle, and I shall dwell within them”.
This week’s Sedra concentrates on the Mishkan (the portable Tabernacle containing the Ark and the tablets with the 10 Commandments). The Sedra lays down in fine detail the design of the Mishkan, including all the materials, the design of the 7 branched Menorah, and the Ark with the 2 gold Cherubs on top (from between which Moses and Aaron would hear God’s voice, and where the diving presence - Shechina - was said to rest).
