| A Big Apple Purim in Fairfax — March 10

|
This week we entered the Jewish month of Adar. The Talmud establishes a rule that when the month of Adar begins we must increase our joy. This is because of the holiday of Purim that is celebrated in the middle of the month.
Purim, of course, is only one day, but its impact is felt throughout the entire month. In fact, the Talmud continues, after proclaiming this as the month of joy, that if a Jew ever has a court case or any other suspenseful event coming, whenever possible it should be scheduled for the month of Adar, which is considered a month of good fortune for the Jewish people.
So as the month of joy and good fortune begins, may we all truly have reason to celebrate and be eternally happy!
Shabbat shalom.

This course explores some of the most notable values and attitudes that the Jews have shared with the world. Once considered preposterous, many of these teachings are taken for granted today. The story of this transition is both instructive and fascinating. The course also considers how Judaism can continue to serve as a beacon of light and fountain of wisdom for all of humankind

Parshat Terumah
The people of Israel are called upon to contribute thirteen materials—gold, silver and copper; blue-, purple- and red-dyed wool; flax, goat hair, animal skins, wood, olive oil, spices and gems—out of which, G‑d says to Moses, “They shall make for Me a Sanctuary, and I shall dwell amidst them.”
On the summit of Mount Sinai, Moses is given detailed instructions on how to construct this dwelling for G‑d so that it could be readily dismantled, transported and reassembled as the people journeyed in the desert.
In the Sanctuary’s inner chamber, behind an artistically woven curtain, was the ark containing the tablets of testimony engraved with the Ten Commandments; on the ark’s cover stood two winged cherubim hammered out of pure gold. In the outer chamber stood the seven-branched menorah, and the table upon which the “ showbread” was arranged.
The Sanctuary’s three walls were fitted together from 48 upright wooden boards, each of which was overlaid with gold and held up by a pair of silver foundation sockets. The roof was formed of three layers of coverings: (a) tapestries of multicolored wool and linen; (b) a covering made of goat hair; (c) a covering of ram and tachash skins. Across the front of the Sanctuary was an embroidered screen held up by five posts.
Surrounding the Sanctuary and the copper-plated altar which fronted it was an enclosure of linen hangings, supported by 60 wooden posts with silver hooks and trimmings, and reinforced by copper stakes.
