Terumah (parsha)

Terumah or Trumah (תְּרוּמָה — Hebrew for "gift" or “offering,” the twelfth word and first distinctive word in the parashah) is the nineteenth weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the seventh in the book of Exodus. It constitutes Exodus 25:1–27:19. Jews in the Diaspora read it the nineteenth Sabbath after Simchat Torah, generally in February or early March.

The parashah tells of God’s instructions to make the Tabernacle and its furnishings.
