Parshas Terumah Tetzaveh Ki Sisa Introduction

Parshas Terumah, Tetzaveh, Ki Sisa

Introduction

The Mishkan (Tabernacle) was the temporary forerunner of the Beis HaMikdash, and most of its laws also—even primarily—apply to the Mikdash. In the portions of Terumah, Tetzaveh, and the beginning of Ki Sisa, the Torah describes the construction of the Mishkan, its vessels, the priestly garments, and its other requirements in great detail. Studying the details of the Mishkan and Mikdash prepares us for, and hastens, the actualization of the final Redemption and the construction of the Third Beis HaMikdash. To advance this goal, the Rebbe urges us to study these three Parshas in-depth and with great focus.
