The diversity of creation

The following is a beautiful text about how the diverse materials of the Tabernacle (the movable temple the Israelites travelled in the desert with) reflects the diversity God createsin the hope that all the diversity will live harmoniously:

“Society will be built even as the tabernacle in the wilderness, following a heavenly pattern in which red, yellow, black and white fibres blended harmoniously. These are the colours of the races of men, and all of them together constituted the celestial design which the Holy One revealed to Moses as a model for His dwelling on earth”
(JL Baron, Sermon, Feb 9. 1934, based on Pesikta Kahana ch. 1, ed. Buber 1925, 4a)
