The Journey to Haran

This discourse was taught by the Rebbe in 1975 in the week of Sedra Terumah. Terumah means 'offering' and the Sedra is describing the construction of the Sanctuary, the prototype of the Temple. At the beginning of the Sedra the word 'Terumah' is used three times. The Rebbe explains these refer to three aspects of our services of the Divine: Torah study, prayer and Mitzvot. Through these we create our own personal Sanctuary, where the Divine Presence is revealed.
