\"\"Our Torah reading for this week is about “making space” for God in our lives… We read God’s appeal: \u201cLet them make for me a sanctuary (i.e., mikdash<\/em>: \u05de\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1) that I may dwell in their midst\u201d (Exod. 25:8). \u00a0Each of us has an inner void, a place where only God belongs. \u00a0Substituting the values of this world \u2013 money, power, fame, entertainment, pleasure (or even just a sense of personal security) \u2013 never satisfies our deepest hunger and thirst for life. Indeed the Lord laments: \u201cMy people have committed a double wrong: they have rejected me, the fountain of life-giving water (\u05de\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8 \u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d7\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd), and they have dug cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water\u201d (Jer. 2:13). God is found by the thirsty soul; he is revealed wherever the heart permits him to speak. As Yeshua said: “If you had known the gift of God, and the one speaking to you, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water” (John 4:10). Ask Him today.<\/p>\n
