In this week’s parsha, Terumah, God gives the instructions to make the Tabernacle (Mishcan), a portable Temple that the Israelites would bring with them through the desert to worship God. God tells Moses to tell the Israelites to, if they wish, bring gifts of various valuable materials to make the Tabernacle, so that God can dwell among them. The parsha continues to list the instructions for things that would need to be made, including two gold cherubim, a seven-branched gold menorah, walls made of acacia wood, a blue, purple, and crimson curtain, an altar of acacia wood, and an enclosure of fine twisted linen.
