In this choose-your-own-adventure exploration of Parashat Terumah, we will present you and your chevruta with a dazzling array of sources taken from the Torah, midrash, mystical texts, and modern scholarship on ancient Near Eastern iconography. The parasha describes the construction of the Tabernacle, including the Ark and its Cherubim. Our study will center around the basic question, "What exactly were these Cherubim?"
