Parashat Teruma 5783: What are the Cherubim?

This week's Torah portion begins the instructions for constructing the tabernacle and its vessels and furnishings. G-d commands Israel to build a Sanctuary, in order for Him to dwell among them. The first vessel to be built is the Ark of the Covenant, featuring the two cherubim, which G-d designates as the special meeting place where His voice will be heard. What are the cherubim, and why did G-d choose to rest His presence there?

The Torah portion of Teruma (Exodus 25 : 1 - 27 : 19) is read on Shabbat, Adar 4, 5783 - February 25, 2023
