Rosner’s Torah Talk: Parshat Pekudei with Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum

[additional-authors]
March 8, 2019

Our guest today is Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum of Hertzl-Ner Tamid synagogue, in Mercer Island Washington. Rabbi Rosenbaum has been HNT’s spiritual leader since 2002. With degrees from NYU (1972), Rutgers University (1974) and Jewish Theological Seminary (1980), Rabbi Rosenbaum has more than thirty-six years of rabbinical experience.

In Parshat Pekudei, the Mishkan is completed and all its components are brought to Moses, who erects it and anoints it with the holy anointing oil. Aaron and the priests are given their clothing for work in the Sanctuary. A cloud descends upon the Tent of Meeting, and God’s presence fills the Mishkan.
