Open Beit Midrash - October 24th-28th




This week in Open Beit Midrash, we watched videos about Parshat Trumah. We learned about how B’nei Yisrael donated jewelry to build G-d's Tabernacle, the Mishkan. We learned what parts were needed to build it. The Mishkan had to be portable, because the Jews had to move it as they traveled through the desert. We learned that we have the choice to use our precious jewelry to build something bad like the Golden Calf, or something holy like the Mishkan. We also looked at a 3D tour of the Beit Hamikdash.

These videos were an introduction to a course that will be offered in this second quarter of the year about the Batei HaMikdash (the two Holy Temples). One of the videos was a recreation of the First Beit HaMikdash on Minecreaft. Since some students are interested in working on their final project on Minecraft, it was important to show them what the potential of this tool can be. (note from HaMorah Bat Sheva)
