Terumah: Particles of Infinity

Good evening and welcome to Lashishi. Thank you for joining us. Rashi tells us at the beginning of the para that the crown around the oven protruded a little bit above it. Rashi says it was a little mashu higher a drop a particle higher. Rashi says and he goes to it. He says it again and Rashi begins the words of the he says it was higher than the in one part of right at the beginning of Rashi he says mashu and the continuation of rashi switches the word to kulshu. Was it a mashu or a kulu? These things are significant. Every letter in rashi makes a difference for sure. He switches the words from mashu to koshu. Was it a mashu? Was it a ku represents? What's the ku? What's a mash? My rabbi like this. He said deliberately uses both means you could have something which is nothing and you could have nothing which is something. The hu you could have something a cotton candy looks like it's very big and then you could compress it and make it smaller smaller smaller and you can pick a take cotton candy that you buy in amusement park for $9.99 and put it into schnaps cup a little DNA a little drop of a human DNA can tell you all the secrets of this person and and and his past and his ancestry everything scientists could see so much a little piece of DNA so you have things that look very big out of nothing and things that look very small everything the difference in culture And is it's a lot. It's really nothing. Mash is ma. It's not a lot. But it's it's it's much more than it looks like is everything. The word tells us said on his that he said he said I learned so much from but it was like a dog who sips from a pond like he lapsed from a like a lake. He didn't begin to the water is not empty. He's not going to clean out the pond with his drinking. He didn't even scratch the surface. That's the tire land. There's so much more than whatever you could have hoped to learn once tested on his learning. He tested somebody. He said it was nishkash not bad. Somebody said the kid didn't know. So he said how much the kid doesn't know in how much I don't know in we're the same. He's not that much worse off than me. That means the is much more vast than anything. And at the same time every word of is everything. Right? The the guy's brother says that every word of is connected to every other word of sometimes that see that ourselves. How you learn one thing and and 10 other things that you learn and suddenly become clear. It's like DNA is a mush for the magnitude for the immensity for the enormity of each word of tyra is a ku and isra is a mash the cover that we have to have for is the cover of a mashu and ashu that means I learned a lot of terra I didn't all I learned is it looks like a lot but it's really just it's it's it's au it looks like a lot but it's really not that much but it's also a mashu you have to know that every thing you did is so big every single word of tyra is so big so it means the power of every word of Tyra. It's it's a it's a mash. It looks like like maybe insignificant to other people, but you have to know how big it is. That's what Rash is telling us. The cover of that that that we're obligated to feel for each word of each is because contains within it of
