Question about staves for Shluchan
Dear Rabbi Gordon, Do the staves for shluchan also have to be placed in all the time?
Shalom

Cherubim
Shalom Rabbi Gordon.
Thank you very much again for these teachings. They have brought me closer and stricter to Torah study than I have ever been before in my life.
I have two questions that have me concerned regarding this Chumash portion:
1. How did Moshe know what Cherubim looks like to make them?
2. How is the creation of these Cherubim not in conflict with the Commandment of not having or making carved images of anything in the heavens?
Thank you and many blessings to you and your family.
