The Sidrah is concerned with the construction of the Sanctuary in the desert, Israel’s first home of worship. This Sanctuary was to be a portable one, in the form of a tent, so that it could be set up and taken apart by the Israelites in their wanderings towards the Promised Land. It was in the shape of a rectangle 150 feet by 75 feet. In the western part of this enclosed area was set the Tabernacle. The rest of the space was fenced off by fine linen hung from pillars set in bronze bases. In the open court, towards the front of the Tabernacle, was the altar on which were placed the burnt offerings. Between the altar and the Tabernacle stood the bronze laver in which was the water for the Kohanim to wash their hands and feet before bringing the sacrifices.

The materials for the Sanctuary were contributed as gifts by the people. The Sidrah points out that the Israelites gave for the Sanctuary of their own free will.

Haftara Summary The Haftarah is from the Book of Kings. It tells of the building of the first Temple in Jerusalem by King

Solomon in the tenth century b.c.e. Thirty thousand men of Israel were involved in the building of Solomon’s Temple. So large a number of laborers were involved because, in addition to the building work done in Jerusalem, the lumber had to be cut down in the forests of Lebanon. The cedar and cypress trees, felled in the Lebanon mountain country, had to be brought down, then, to the coast. Next, they were transported on rafts by sea to the port of Jaffa. Finally, from Jaffa began the transport overland again, up to Jerusalem. Altogether, it was a long process which may have taken as long as twenty years.
