In this week’s Torah portion, Terumah, God instructs Moses to build a tabernacle so that God may dwell among the people. What a beautiful reminder to all of us that we should build our own sacred place. It inspired me to create this blog. I hope to share simple ways to create meaningful moments (and memories) with your family. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see or share.
