And they came, both men and women,
as many as were willing-hearted, and brought
nose-rings, and earrings, and signet rings, and girdles, all jewels of gold; even every man that brought an offering of gold unto the LORD.

Often, it is the success of a project that history records. When great kings of antiquity built monuments to celebrate victories or to worship a pagan god, we know nothing of the ordinary people who participated in the construction. In fact, it is likely that these temples and monuments were built by slaves who were forced to labor with great suffering to build a magnificent structure at the whim of their master. Not so the Tabernacle. It is a simple structure constructed of items easily found in ordinary households – fabrics and skins and jewelry. And Scripture stresses that it is built through donations, simple items brought by ordinary people, as their hearts and spirits moved them, to take part in the building of a structure that would serve as their center of worship, their vehicle to reach God. Learn more in The Israel Bible, containing the original Hebrew text and a classic English translation, alongside commentary to better illustrate the significance of the Land of Israel.

The Tabernacle and its vessels are rife with symbolism and lessons. The woven fabrics of the Tabernacle were so unique, that when similar fabrics are described in the Book of Esther as adorning King Ahasuerus’s palace, the Sages learned that the Temple treasures which were looted during the fall of the Judean Kingdom made their way to the Persian treasury.

Song artist Lazer Lloyd is known for combination of blues, folk, rock, and jazz. He eventually developed a unique style that incorporated all of these influences into his emotive blues all of which stem from his religious outlook on life. Inspired by his mentor Shlomo Carlebach, he moved to Israel where he expanded his musical career. This album mixes the Jewish soul and electric blues which stamps it as uniquely Lazer Lloyd.
