The Services in the Temple were funded by way of the half coin donations given every year to the temple treasury. Why was the command to specifically donate a half coin? Additionally everything in the temple had to be complete. The vessels, garments offerings & even the priests themselves had to be whole & unblemished & yet the funds paying for the services needed to be specifically non complete - half, why? This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm. There is much overhead to maintain this service so please help us continue our goal of helping Jewish lecturers become podcasters and support us with a donation: https://thechesedfund.com/jewishpodcasts/donate
