Introduction

Parashat Pekudei 5782: The Eyes Have it – The Divine as Israel’s Tour Guide

Description: As we bring the Book of Shemot – Exodus – to a close in this week’s Parasha, Parashat Pekudei, we conclude the final chapter with a description of the functions of the cloud and fire as the Israelites wander in the Wilderness. Are these two apparitions the only providers of guidance to the Children of Israel? Explore with Rabbi Dr. Howard Markose the question of who or what can serve as the guide of the trekking Israelites.
