Highlights of parashat Terumah

Parashat Terumah (Shemot 25:1-27:19) records the instructions from G-d to Moshe to build the mishkan. 

We have nine discussions on the blog lobashamayim.blogspot.com about these instructions.

One discussion is on the reason for the mishkan/ ohel moed. 

A second discussion is on ability of the Jewish people in the desert to build the mishkan/ ohel moed. 

A third discussion is on the meaning of the terms mikdash, mishkan and ohel moed.

A fourth discussion is about the different areas or zones of the mishkan/ ohel moed, http://www.lobashamayim.blogspot.co.il/2011/01/shemot-2627-terumah-three-zones-of.html
