Every synagogue is known as a “miniature sanctuary” (mikdash me’at.) How does one show respect for a shul?

powerful

Dear Chabad multimedia,

Since I started Teshuva, I thought this Parasha Terumah was full of G-d's rules of how to make the Beit Hamikdash and Mishkan BUT with this practical class delivered by Rav Kaplan, I learned many PRACTICAL issues about our Shul, houses and daily behaviour. thanks. Chodesh Tov and Gut Shabbes

Your BEST practical parsha!

Rabbi, I try to listen AND download so that I can re-listen to your practical parsha each week. I go to a Chabad in Jericho, NY (rabbi Krivisky) and also to a shir with Rabbi Perl in Mineol, NY. Both provide me with insights into Torah, Kaballah, the Parsha.

This week, though, I was very perplexed with the parsha. Your shir opened up for me a new level of understanding and a deeper commitment into my becoming more observant, one, step, at a time! as stated by the Rebbe!

Thank you for the inspirational shirs until Moshiach answers all of our questions.

Practical Parshah - Terumah

Rabbi Mendel Kaplan is blessed with the magnificent gift of imparting his extensive and indepth knowledge and the Rebbe`s teachings in the most simple way. It is a pleasure to listen to his weekly parshah; together with my small family we seek out how and where we can apply G-d`s will to our daily lives. We are so fortunate to have the accessibility online. Thank you

Location of the Holiest of Holies

If the Holiest of Holies were at the Kotel, then wouldn't that mean all the Jews and friends and children of Jews who pray there are defiling the Holiest of Holies? Wouldn't they be violating the sanctity of the Temple THEMSELVES? Think about it in the sense of judgment: if the Holiest of Holies were under the giant-golden-pimple, then the crime is purely on the Muslims and Christians; however, if it is located at the Kotel, then the Jews are guilty too.
