The second half of Sefer Shemot revolves around the building of the Tabernacle. Why, though, does Hashem want a house? Assuming that He is an incorporeal being and cannot be contained within a physical framework, and that he has no need of food or drink, of what utility is the Mishkan and sacrificial service? This Torahcast, brought to you by ALHATORAH.ORG, featuring Neima Novetsky, explores these questions and more. For primary sources and analysis, see: http://alhatorah.org/Purpose_of_the_Mishkan.
