Rabbi Lauren Henderson and Dr. Amy Robertson begin the Tabernacle Texts this week with Terumah. What are these texts? What are they asking of us, and what are they offering? Rather than reading them as instructions, we bring them into the world of ritual, visualization, and meditative practices. If this text was written during exile as many scholars propose, it becomes a sort of love letter to a holy space they could not access. And as people who have not been able to gather in our sacred space for nearly a year now, we can relate.
