Terumah 5779 – Who Needs The Tabernacle?

Introduction

In this podcast we will explore the idea of the Tabernacle and what it means to create a place for God to dwell. Through three midrashic parables we will see that it is not only human beings who seek out a close relationship with God but God who actively seeks to dwell among His people.
