Temporary Interfaith Parsha Fun Thread

I like the idea for a thread on the tabernacle. If you or bandit make it, I'll stick it.

Hi dauer - welcome back, I like the parsha the way we have it now with a broader section to respond to and you are right there is always next year to pickup anything we missed or didn't respond to .... what do you think of bandit's idea to do thread on the tabernacle in the wilderness here as thought it was a parsha,but one that doesn't close at the end of the week .... the rest of the parsha would just keep going as we are doing it now, so basically we would have two threads open while we work on the tabernacle at our own pace .... the tabernacle and the regular parsha ....

Exactly... like extracurricular & at our own pace & through the year, so there will be two threads going in the Parsha.:)

bandit - you are really funny and I love your sense of humor (liked the piece on lunamoth) .... I think I'm beginning to understand why you so frequently post a question about the order of service and things at different sites .... and all of this will tie into the dialogue about the tabernacle in the wilderness .... I will also introduce some pieces on the description and meaning of altars connected with native american and hawaiian rituals and in some cases the way a home is built .... they will be related to the tabernacle in the wilderness .... remember I posted before that the top of the mountain in old hawaii was called "wao akua" which translates as "forest of the gods" .... the place that is hard to access by man .... aloha nui, poh

i have a real passion for the Tabernacle in the Wilderness.
 
dauer - this weeks parsha is Shmot (Exodus 1:1-6:1)are you going to start a new thread or should we continue with this one "temporary interfairth parsha fun thread" ????

I was reading the introduction to Exodus in my copy by Robert Alter and he mentions that the narative is organized around three defined spaces: Egypt, the place of bondage; the wilderness, a liminal space where freedom will be realized and new obligations incured, where a tense struggle between leader and people will play out as part of the initiatory experience of nationhood; and the promised destination of the Exodus from Egypt, the land that remains beyond the horizon of this book. Egypt is associated with water .... the wilderness is associated with a dry parched land, and the new Israelite nation will the be land flowing with milk and honey (the utopian space that will be beyond reach for fourty years)

I was also reading the Zohar on Exodus .... which has a piece on Moses and the Blazing Bush (Exodus 3:1-2) "Rabbi Judah said "Moses was not like other prophets. We have learned: One who comes close to fire is burned. Yet Moses came close to fire and was not burned .... Rabbi Abba said "We should explore the nature of Moses in the light of wisdom. What is it written: 'She named him Moses, saying "It means: I drew him out of the water" (Exodus 2:10). One who has been drawn out of water has no fear of fire. And it has been taught in the name of Rabbi Judah: 'From the plae Moses was hewn, no other human was hewn.' "Moses was arrayed in all ten spheres" .... 'The Angel of YHVH appeared to him in a flame of fire .... he gazed: the bush is blazing in fire' showing that Israel is enslaved, but 'the bush is not consumed"... he hawai'i au, poh

this last one we did (fun thread on Joesph) seemed to be longer. like it was for two weeks & i think that is what kind of tossed me off because when i would log into the site it was still on the same parsha. then when i went to it today it was on the new parsha.:)

do some of them last for two weeks?
