In the midst of the Israelite encampment in the burning desert stood the Mishkan, the Tabernacle, the sacred place where God's Presence dwelled. It was a place of glory, of beauty, of unmatched sanctity, and the focal point of Israel's existence during their journeys in the desert after the Exodus. Now you can see how the Mishkan was built, its sacred vessels assembled, and the bigdei kehunah (the priestly vestments) woven and crafted.

With all of the same text and 3D color illustrations as the original version, the smaller and lighter new Compact Edition of the Kleinman Edition Mishkan is a great choice for educators, students, or anyone who doesn't have room for the full sized version.
