5775 — Teruma: Beauty and Holiness

Posted by Mike Feuer on February 17, 2015
Topics: Pardes from Jerusalem, Shemot (Exodus), Terumah

Parshat Teruma provides an intense description of the mishkan. Why is there such detail when the mishkan was never meant to be reconstructed? Rabbi Mike Feuer discusses this and looks deeper into what we can learn from the relationship between beauty and holiness.
