Parsha “Terumah” (Exodus/Shemot 25:1 – 27:19) is the first of a series of detailed sets of instruction that have to do with the BUILDING of the Mishkan, or Tabernacle, in the wilderness.

The Sabbath Day teaching explores the theme of this, and indeed subsequent paraschot, in more detail:

“Terumah: Compare and Constrast the Cycles and the Masters — Building vs Destroying”
The combined two-part teaching is here, via Hebrew Nation Radio.
