	Mishkan Shalom Committees
		The mission of the Communications Committee is to develop and maintain open and effective channels of communications within Mishkan Shalom, its leaders, committees and members and between Mishkan and the wider community.
		A number of projects have spun off from the committee such as Hineni — a voluntary Mishkan member support network that offers short-term, concrete caring in the form of meals, visits, transportation and errands for members and their families experiencing difficulties in times of illness.
		The purpose of the Spiritual Life Committee is to attend to and nourish the spirit and practices of the Mishkan Shalom community.

	Mishkan - The Jewish Spirituality Center, Buenos Aires, Argentina

	Tabernacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tabernacle is known in Hebrew as the Mishkan (משכן "Place of [Divine] dwelling").
		Mishkan is related to the Hebrew word to "dwell", "rest", or "to live in", referring to the "[In-dwelling] Presence of God", the Shekhina (or Shechina) (based on the same Hebrew root word as Mishkan), that dwelled or rested within this divinely ordained mysterious structure.
		Thus the idea is that God wants this structure built so that it may be a "dwelling", so to speak, for his presence within the Children of Israel following the Exodus.

	template.htm
		The command to build the Mishkan was given after Bnei Yisrael expressed their readiness to hear God's word ("we shall do and we shall hear"), and within the Mishkan there is a continuous "giving of the Torah" as it took place at Mount Sinai.
		The curtains of the Mishkan, which are on a lower level of sanctity than the vessels, are made of cotton or flax, and here again no animal life is taken for their construction.
		In its description of how the Mishkan is carried by the family of Gershon, the text stipulates that they must carry the curtains of the Mishkan and the Ohel Mo'ed, "its covering and the tachash cover that is upon it" (Bamidbar 4:25).

	A Reconstructionist Dvar Torah for Terumah
		The first states that the Mishkan is given by God to the people because after the encounter at Sinai they are holy and prepared to accept the instructions and to receive the gift of a divine dwelling place in their midst.
		In this interpretation the gold used for the Mishkan "atones for the gold of the calf." This interpretation is often read simply as meaning that, after the Golden Calf, God realized that the people needed a physical representation of the Divine presence, and so God designed the Mishkan.
		By placing the directions for the building of the Mishkan after the Golden Calf it becomes part of the conclusion of the Shemot narrative in which the Mishkan is actually constructed.

		In the mishkan, wheat was grown for the Lechem HaPanim, the showbread.
		The sheared wool needed for the Mishkan was washed in a river.
		During consruction of the Mishkan, those who fished for chilazon, a small fishlike creature whoe blood was used for techeilet [the blue dye used for the curtains of the Mishkan], would both tie and untie their nets, since it was sometimes necessary to remove ropes from one net and attach them to another.

	Home Improvement
		Four of the Torah's 54 portions are dedicated almost exclusively to the Mishkan, the traveling sanctuary built to house the Divine presence in the desert.
		We are being taught that the purpose of the Mishkan, and the dwelling of the Divine presence in the midst of the Jewish people, was to create an atmosphere that would enable the Jewish people to "journey" in their quest to fulfill the Divine purpose of creation.
		Just as with the Mishkan, where the signal to forge ahead was the ascent and departure of the heavenly cloud; similarly, the concealment of heavenly light and the darkness of the exile should also be treated as a signal.

	[No title]
		After each component of the mishkan is put into place on the first of Nissan (see 40:1-33), this entire process reaches its dramatic climax: "When Moshe had finished his work, the anan (cloud) covered the ohel mo'ed and God's kavod ('glory') filled the mishkan" (40:34).
		This pasuk describes the dwelling of the Shchina on the mishkan in the exact same terms used to depict the dwelling of the Shchina on Har Sinai: "When Moshe ascended the har [Mount Sinai, to receive the first luchot], the anan covered the har, and kvod Hashem (God's glory) dwelled upon Har Sinai..." (24:15- 16).
		Clearly, the Torah intentionally parallels, thereby associating, the descent of the Shchina onto Har Sinai with the dwelling of the Shchina on the mishkan.

		Hashem now moves on to the outer part of the Mishkan, commanding Moshe to construct the larger of the two altars that were to be built.
		LEV, and the mishkan, the Torah emphasizes the spiritual and religious importance of the physical mishkan.
		Those that made the mishkan were expected to be able to distinguish between a holy form of worship and a profane one.

		The key to the Temple’s (or Mishkan’s, i.e, tabernacle’s) secrets is in the (floor) plan and layout of its furnishings.
		The Mishkan was the precursor of the Temple.
		These same three were also in the Mishkan (tabernacle), Exodus 25:3, 31:4; 35:5.

	"The Times of the "Mishkan" in "Eretz Yisrael"' - Tisha B'Av - OU.ORG
		The “Mishkan” was at Gilgal for fourteen years; seven during the period of conquest of the Land, and seven during the period of division of the Land among the Tribes of Israel.
		The “Mishkan” remained in Shiloh from the time of Yehoshua, all through the Period of the “Shoftim,” the “Judges,” the fifteen of whom led the Jewish People for a period of approximately 400 years, according to traditional sources and approximately 200 years, according to modern scholars.
		The “Mishkan” was rebuilt at Nov, until that city of Priests was destroyed by Do’eg HaAdomi.

	The Mishkan As Metaphor: On the Transformation of Urban Space by Bonnie Roche
		The significance of the Mishkan’s presence is so strong in Exodus, that there is an interpretation that, the People of Israel were not carrying the parts of the Mishkan, but the Mishkan was “carrying” the people.
		The Mishkan was a metaphor for moving from motion to stillness, from measured time to timelessness, from the six days of the week to the Sabbath.
		The “Mishkan Project” is specific to New York, but it is an idea that is universally relevant to all great cities, each with their unique geographies, social and cultural diversities.

		Each individual among the Israelites adds his or her (specifically “or her”–though women are barely mentioned at sinai, they perform the task of donating to the mishkan equally with men, and also do the spinning of thread for the mishkan on their own) unique talents and gifts to the project.
		When the mishkan finally stands and the Divine Presence appears within it, there is awe and wonder, but each person among the Hebrews has committed his or her own hands to the vehicle that brings the Divine to earth.
		At the center of the mishkan is an empty space, representing an unseen and infinite deity.

	The Anatomy of a Dwelling \| Chabad.org > Parsha > Terumah
		The Midrash and the Biblical commentaries, and particularly the Kabbalist and the Chassidic expounders of Torah, elaborate on this theme, describing the Mishkan as a model of man, of the physical universe, and of creation as a whole.
		Maimonides describes the universe as consisting of three strata: unrefined matter (the earth and all terrestrial creatures), refined matter (the stars and heavenly bodies), and wholly spiritual beings (entities that are "forms alone, without matter, such as the angels which are not physical bodies but various forms").
		In the Mishkan, these three domains are represented by: 1) the courtyard; 2) the outer chamber of the Sanctuary (the "Holy"); and 3) the "Holy of Holies" -- the inner chamber behind the "Veil" or Parochet (see diagram).

		This journey is very much a function of the Mishkan, since it is the movement of this building which determines the moment that the people are to break camp.
		All this demonstrates that part of the function of the Mishkan was to signal the beginning of journeying and camping.
		Here, the connection to the Mishkan is expressed in terms of the Mishkan's ability to maintain proper modes of living outside of the edifice, within the camp as a whole.

	IIB INTERNET ISLAMIC BRIGADES - Drawing Near to God Through the Mishkan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		"Mishkan" comes from the Hebrew root Shachan, which means "to dwell" or "to abide." We get other Hebrew words from this same root, like "neighbor" and "neighborhood." In spite of the Fall of Man, and our resulting alienation from the Holy God, He still wanted to dwell among us!
		The Mishkan was designed to enable God to manifest His Dwelling Presence on Earth.
		But both the Mishkan and its various items were designed to point to and be fulfilled in a greater way through the Messiah.

	Shevatim, 12 Tribes of Israel
		East of the Mishkan - Moshe, Aharon and Aharon's sons shall camp in the east, near the entrance of the Mishkan.
		Moshe, and Aharon with his sons, deserve to be placed there as a reward for the spiritual light which they disseminate with their Torah and mitzvot.
		North of the Mishkan - The Benei Merari camped on the northern side of the Mishkan, at a distance of one thousand amos.

	21ki-tisa
		The command to build the Mishkan was uttered as one long speech by God to Moshe, with its beginning at the start of parashat Teruma (25:1) and its festive conclusion (echoing the introduction) towards the end of parashat Tetzaveh, after the section on the daily burnt offerings (end of chapter 29, verses 43-46).
		It follows immediately after the two previous appendices because it is still one of the vessels of the Mishkan (its place is in the courtyard, like the sacrificial altar), and therefore this section corresponds to the commands concerning the other vessels, which appear later on in parashat Teruma.
		More than anywhere else, this function of the Mishkan finds expression in the ark and the covering upon it, which are "the principal artifacts of the Mishkan" (Ramban); "for the sake of the ark… it was necessary to construct a Mishkan" (Rashbam).

		The Mishkan would not have had to been built and the entire history of the relationship between the Jews and the other nations would have been positive and loving, rather than hateful and tragic.
		The Mishkan, and then the Bais Hamikdash, became the means for the nation to deal with their fundamentally flawed faith and repair their relationship with G-d.
		The Mishkan housed the Mizbeach, which was the most direct way for the people and the individual to express their desire to be close to G-d.

	The Mishkan
		The Tabernacle in the Desert is referred to as the Mishkan in the Hebrew Bible.
		(Ex.24:12) Along with the Law, Divine Specifications were also given for the construction of the Mishkan, the portable fabric sanctuary/temple designed to house the Ark of the Covenant that contained the two stone tablets of the law and to provide a sacred space for performing the rituals necessary for the worship of God.
		Instructions proceed outward from the interior vessels necessary to perform the ritual worship (the Ark, the table, the lamp) to the physical structure including the boards of acacia wood, the beams, the partition separating the Holy of Holies from the sanctuary and the the outer enclosure.

		The second opinion holds that it is singled out as an exception to the general laws of Shabbat in that the penalty for breaking that law is less severe that for the breach of any other category of 'melacha'.
		That implies that the men were secondary to the women in their enthusiasm to donate their valuables as raw materials for the Mishkan.
		There, the vessels for the Mishkan were detailed before the construction of the Mishkan itself.

	Daf Parashat Hashavua
		Elsewhere, dealing with the importance of the work of constructing the Mishkan, and with those who carried it out the Rabbi's said: "The Almighty did not make His Presence rest upon Israel until they performed the work, for it is written "and let them make a sanctuary for Me and I will dwell among them".
		It would appear that the service in the Mishkan, when carried out properly, is an expression of the subservience of the People of Israel to God and of their connection to Him.
		The worship of God in the Mishkan and its central role in both their spiritual lives and actual activity is proof of their devotion to G-d and the acceptance of His Kingship.

	Targum Press - Excerpt from Explorations
		There are numerous components to the Mishkan, but its central part was clearly the Aron, the Ark. On top of the Aron a pair of gold Keruvim were placed.
		It is interesting to note that in the Mishkan the Keruvim protect the Aron, which contains the Torah, and in Eden the Keruvim protected the path leading to the Tree of Life, symbolizing Torah.
		How appropriate that in the Mishkan and later in the Temple itself, in the Holy of Holies, there was a symbol of man at his apex — before his sin, in a state of total innocence before God.

	Shabbat Parshat Terumah 5765 - OU Torah Insights Project
		The PAROCHET divides the Mishkan into two areas: one third (ten cubits by ten cubits) is the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Testimony resides; the other two thirds (ten cubits by twenty cubits) is the Holy, the place of the Table, the Menorah and the Golden Incense Altar.
		The MASACH separates the Mishkan from the surrounding courtyard, where the Copper Sacrificial Altar was located.
		It seems that the PAROCHET is designed to split one thing into parts, namely the Mishkan into the Holy and the Holy of Holies, whereas the purpose of the MASACH is to cut off the Mishkan from the area around it.
