THE BIG IDEA

Happy Adar! This week we officially entered the month of joy! Woohooo! A friendly reminder that this is the most favorable time of the year for accessing the deep cosmic laughter that comes with revelation.  To kick off the laughfest, let’s collectively imagine the Creator of the Universe’s dwelling in our midst. Literally. This week we read about the requirements of the Mishkan (Tabernacle) which is so wild a concept it might make your burst out in joy. Also cosmically funny to think about the contrast between divine precision and our own interior design challenges. 

Oh yeah… another funny thing… this Shabbat try thinking about the voluntary donation that was made to build this special tent. Think of what you might have wanted to give…. it is understood that each element and material corresponds to the human body and is a metaphor for the divine dwelling inside you. And if that doesn’t fill you with joy and laughter…
