Exodus Unveiled # 7 Raiders of The Lost Ark.  Overview & Insights on Parshat Terumah with Rabbi Jonathan Feldman on Jewish Matters Podcast

What was the ark of the covenant and where is it today?  What did the original Menorah look like and how is different than the one we use on Chanukah?   After the giving of the Torah the Jewish people are directed to build a sanctuary, a portable center of worship, like a synagogue where the Jewish people would gather and bring offerings.  The directions for building this center of worship will span the five next parshiot, and today’s focuses on Menorah, the Ark and the implements.
