The Power of Embodied Love (Parashat Vayakhel and Parashat Pekudei)

March 25, 2006 | By Rabbi Jill Hammer

Media Type(s): Torah Commentary

Textual Source: Ezekiel

Torah Portion: Pekudei, Vayakhel

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

The author argues that in this Torah portion, we find a different model for what it means to be a sacred community, one radically different than the model we see at Sinai, and one that tends toward acknowledging people as bodies as well as ideas.
