In this sermon we talk about why, after Sinai, the Torah suddenly describes the building of the Mishkan in such detail. Why does God need a place among people at all? And why does the Golden Calf appear right next to this story?
It is a conversation about things that are actually very close to each of us: money, opportunities, faith, our ideas about God, and how easily we can sometimes confuse God’s gift with something that gradually takes up too much room in our lives.
