Parsha Stories (Shemot-Tetzaveh)

Keep up with the weekly parsha with Rabbi Ravid Tilles! In this episode, God continues to share mitzvot about the Mishkan. We learn about more elements of the Mishkan and about the role that the Kohanim would play in the Mishkan including their special clothing. Once such special garb is the Hoshen Mishpat which seemingly offers the Kohen Gadol (High Priest) a chance to connect to God in magical, spiritual ways. There are multiple stories about the power of the Hoshen Mishpat in the story of the Israelites. All of these laws are given to Moshe while B'nai Yisrael is becoming increasingly impatient with Moshe's being on Har Sinai. Next week is when this impatience reaches a boiling point!
