How does the Torah guide us to create sacred spaces in moments of transition and uncertainty?

Together, they delve into Yaakov’s encounter with the “Makom”—a sacred space where the displaced patriarch begins to find his grounding. Through this narrative, they examine themes of divine presence, the holiness of place, and how spiritual moments sustain us through challenges.
