Ki Tisa | Exodus 30:11 – 34:35

Shabbat Shalom 

Let’s talk about Shabbat! Did you know that the building of the Tabernacle influenced the laws of Shabbat?  It’s true! There are 39 prohibited acts of work on the Sabbath and many of these laws came from the instructions to build the Tabernacle. God created for six days then rested on the seventh, setting an example that is followed even today.
