## Resource

Parshas Vayakhel & Pekudei: The Altar Within As we conclude Sefer Shemos, the Mishkan is finally completed and the Divine Presence descends among the Jewish people. Yet within the Mishkan stands a mystery. Unlike the other sacred vessels, the two altars cannot become ritually impure. Why are they different? Drawing on the Gemara and the Lubavitcher Rebbe, this episode reveals a powerful insight: the altar represents the deepest point within every Jew, a place that can never become spiritually impure. 🔥 The altar in the Mishkan teaches that the altar within us is always burning. 🎧 Listen now at ParshaPerspective.com
