Many commentators wrestle with the connection between the
command to build the Tabernacle (Mishkan) and the preceding Sin of the Golden
Calf. In his essay on Parashat Teruma, Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo explains
the nature of the Sin of the Golden Calf, which leads us to understand the
Mishkan and its place in Judaism. This, in turn, gives us a fresh understanding
on prayer and man’s place as he approaches God in prayer.
