You MUST Be Happy (Parshat Teruma) | Land of Israel Fellowship

👉Join our live weekly fellowship — connect, pray, and learn with us from the hills of Judea. 🔗 https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ Hosted by Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel, this episode focuses on Parshat Terumah and the deeper meaning of building a sanctuary for God’s Presence. As war clouds gather over Israel and uncertainty fills the air, Ari shares a powerful personal story — from a pre-dawn blackout that felt like the beginning of war to a Shabbat storm that unexpectedly brought dozens of future IDF soldiers into one small home. The realization? The storm didn’t ruin the joy — it created it. In Terumah, God doesn’t say, “Build Me a place for sacrifices.” He says, “Make for Me a sanctuary and I will dwell among them.” The Mishkan was about relationship, not ritual — about hosting Divine Presence in the middle of instability. As we enter the month of Adar, we explore why the sages teach that we must increase in joy — not because life is easy, but because joy is the spiritual vessel that builds redemption. Fear closes the heart. Joy opens space for God to dwell within us. Listen in for Torah, faith, and strength for the times we’re living in.
