T'Rumah: Offerings
This Torah portion describes the instructions for building the Mishkan, or Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting, which will hold the tablets containing the Ten Commandments. The Tabernacle is a symbol for the Presence of G~d. It's mobility allows the Presence to accompany the Israelites as they wander through the desert.
The ancient Tabernacle was not a house of worship. It was forbidden to most of the Israelites. Only the High Priests were permitted to touch the Tabernacle.
