Finding God in the Mishkan



How are we supposed to find meaning in Parshat Terumah's detailed instructions for building the Mishkan (Tabernacle)? Where the Menorah stood, where each alter was placed... what difference does this this make in our ability to connect to God today?

In this video, Rabbi Fohrman shares an incredible observation about the structure of the Mishkan: eerily enough, it seems to parallel a face. Was the Miskhan designed as a way to 'see' God's face in this world? What is this face meant to symbolize? What can it teach us about God, who, of course, does not actually have a face — and about ourselves, creators who do.

Enjoyed this video? There's more to discover. Join Rabbi Fohrman as he continues to explore these ideas in this video for Parshat Tetzaveh.
