Terumah: https://youtu.be/duwEZ40aU9w
God speaks to Moses, giving detailed instruction about building and  operating a tabernacle, a portable home (mikdash) for the Ark and the  Tablets. It is to be funded through gifts from the Israelites: “Let them make Me a sanctuary that I might dwell among them.” Specific requirements for the tabernacle and its furnishings include: type of wood, size, gold overlay, rings and poles, cherubim, utensils, a menorah of seven branches plus additional lighting, and more. Cloth coverings, screens, and curtains are also mandated. The requirements include details for the building of an outside altar, for additional items needed for performing sacrificial rites, and for construction of the courtyard itself.
Sam's Chesed Project

Acts of chesed (loving kindness) are an essential part of TJC’s B’nai Mitzvah experience. Typically during the 6th grade year, every student commits to 10 or more hours of hands-on community service. At the conclusion of the experience, students reflect on what they accomplished and learned in the Chesed Reporter. Since the Chesed Reporter is traditionally distributed in the sanctuary on Shabbat morning, we are now sharing it with the congregation in our Weekly Newsletter.
