Keeping the Sanctuary a Holy Space

Balancing Sanctity, Inclusiveness, Frustration, Children, and Disruption

THE SANCTUARY: The holiest place in the Temple is the Sanctuary. In biblical times, it was referred to as the "Mishkan," the place where God's presence ("Shechina") stayed in the midst of the Israelites. (In Hebrew, the words Mishkan and Shechina have the same root, indicating that God is in the Sanctuary.) While God is everywhere, we retreat to the Mishkan or Sanctuary when we wish to be with God and with others in prayer.
