Parshas Terumah: Reaching Out To God Who Is Reaching Out To Us

What is the main function of the Beis Hamikdash? The Rambam says that it is for us to bring Korbanos. The Ramban says that the Aron was the most important vessel in the Beis Hamikdash. What is the deeper meaning behind this Machlokes? In this shiur, Rav Burg teaches us how the Beis Hamikdash is the place where not only do we reach out God but God reaches out to us. Not having the Beis Hamikdash is so much more than losing a place of worship. We have lost the place where transcendence and immanence meets. How can we restore the Beis Hamikdash so that we can once again feel God's loving embrace?
