In Terumah we are introduced to the Mishkan (Tabernacle), the construction of which was directed by God. This House of God would go on to become the center of Jewish life, first as a temporary sanctuary, and later as a permanent temple in Jerusalem, for 1,500 years. To this day, even after an absence of two thousand years, Jews pray for it to be rebuilt in all its glory. But what does the Mishkan represent? What is the symbolism of its construction and contents? How are we meant to relate to this structure and the various vessels it housed? In this shiur Rabbi Dunner continues to offer a range of ideas, gleaned from classic commentaries.

In 2011 Rabbi Dunner relocated to the US and became the senior Rabbi at Beverly Hills Synagogue.
