THE RABBI'S DESK

The Thanksgiving Table: The Necessity of Conversations

After the fall of the  Second Temple, the Rabbis did something spiritually audacious and pragmatic, they taught that some of the Divine presence which filled the Temple (Beit HaMikdash) entered into the homes of every Jew - particularly around the dining room table. They would term this the “Mikdash Me’at” or the “Small Temple/Sanctuary.” (Note: The synagogue and study hall were also referred to a mikdash me’at as well) This was a revolutionary and powerful idea because it meant that no matter where Jews would gather to break bread together, celebrate holidays together, and make time to be in conversation together, there was the presence of God’s holiness in that place.
