Ki Tisa | Inspiration: Day by Day

Ki Tisa | Inspiration: Day by Day, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom The Parashiot of the Mishkan direct us how to construct a dwelling place for Hashem. This ideal is introduced at the outset of the commands as its goal: "They shall fashion a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them" (25:8) - but is also reiterated, with greater clarity, at the conclusion of the core commands, with the directive to offer a "constant Olah", twice daily - which will not only ensure God's presence among the people, but that they will also understand that is the reason that He took them out of Egypt - to dwell among them. We explore the balance between the excitement and inspiration of the original donation with the commitment to daily worship. The shiur is given in loving memory of Steve Lazar z"l. יהי זכרו ברוך Source sheet >>
