Parashat Vayakhel – Pekudei
As we enter the season of Passover, we’re reminded of God’s desire to dwell among His people. The tabernacle wasn’t just an ancient structure – it represents God’s heart to live intimately with us, both among us and within us. God required His people to participate in creating both space (the tabernacle) and time (the Sabbath) for His presence. Today, we’re called to be living temples, actively creating room for God’s dwelling presence in our lives, communities, and world through willing hearts and intentional offerings.
