Shmini - Youthful Service

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with our goldwag recording with hashem's neverending assistance in ramashimashi israel 57 82 2022. this week parish is partially shimini the eighth day she means the eighth day of the hakamas hamishkan putting up the tabernacle the place where the jewish people would serve hashem our nakayan is called on the eighth day the first seven days moshe rabino acts as the kohen on the eighth day and from that day onward aaron and his sons are called to be the priests the one who will bring the kirbanis i get to read to you from the magis very interesting madrish which brings up to explain the idea of aaron not being called for the first seven days being called from the eighth day and onward and in doing so the medrash brings a plastic as is its way and this plastic is used to explain a few different concepts a few different ideas and when a matrix does this so generally speaking we can say that there are parallels between the different concepts when one possible when one verse is used and it is applied to a few different places we can see that those places are connected the measure says like this so he would open up the conversation about this pashmini and he would explain based on the verse the wisdom wisdom is what builds the house it's opposing michele in proverbs chapter nine verses one through four we're going to read we'll see as the major continues that there's a the pasuk the tsukim narayan michele in proverbs are describing the the preparations that are involved in a meal and then what happens when the people sit down at the meal and the fools who don't want to eat of the delicious food so it's called michele which means proverbs which means really michelin these are you know ideas concepts that have a lot of application you can understand them in a few different ways so what is this meal what is the wisdom that builds the home that fills the fills the home with food to be eaten what are the people who are not so smart and therefore they don't eat of that they don't partake of that food so for this the gemara the measures from sorry explains and it's important to know from the onset to the very review of the world the eighth day of the the hakama samishkan when the mishkan would stand permanently the first seven days it was it was put up it was taken down put up taken down put up taken down each day for seven days and on the eighth day was put up and it stayed up and aaron acclaim was the one who brought the car bonus his sons but it's connected somehow first day of nissan which is called the creation of the world as well we're about to hit this day it's coming up just a week so we're in the shivamilum already here this is where we're maybe starting on on sunday so there's a creation of the world that happens and there's a connection there's not a coincidence that michigan took place on the same day as the creation of the world which is the first of nisan we do speak about the creation of the world of course on rosh hashanah but the gemara discusses in rosh hashanah exactly when was the world created was it created in tishrei was it created in nissan in the month we're about to enter and there are those who explain that it was created in potential intestines we say this is the day of the of the pregnancy of the world the world was created in potential on tishrei and the world was brought into actualization just like we see that it's it's the springtime and everything comes to actualization we've had a whole winter of rains and now everything is growing and the fruits are coming forth etc so the world comes into fruition in nissan and the mishkan is completed also in nissan it's important to mention that the mission all of the parts our ghazal tell us all the pieces were completed by by one by hanukkah it just took a few months the command was on yom kippur the day after yom kippur mushroom came down gave the command of the mishkan it was it only took a short amount of time a month and a half to or approximately two and a half months if i'm well let's see from tishrei to freshman to kiss like two and a half months to put together all of the parts but they were put in storage until nissan because it has to happen in nissan why is that coming some mission can happen in nissan so one of the reasons is because of the fact that there's a parallel between the mishkan and the creation of the world and that's what we're going to speak about here for a moment it's something that we see also there's a gemara megillah that points out it says it says over here and it was on the eighth day there's a connection to vayi erev hashem was joyous i think we mentioned this maybe last week hashem is joyous at the akama like he was joyous when he created the world because there's a completion there's this there's a connection between the creation of the world and the creation of a place where man serves god because without that service of hashem without that connection to hashem so the world is just the desolate place without the the infusion of spirituality which which is part and parcel of our service of hashem in the mishkan and through the torah so without that so the world just doesn't have doesn't have any meaning it doesn't have any soul so we have all of these connections well let's see what the major does which speaks about the wisdom in the house and the preparations of for the meal all of this is speaking about the creation of the world with wisdom the house is built this is a reference talk of the spoken to god hashem behar says god founded the earth with wisdom it's another verse in mishlai earlier in islam back to our verse there are seven pillars there are seven pillars of the world that were hewn chevy memberships so in speaking about operations in reference to this verse what are the seven pillars of the world these are the seven days of creation as opposed to says by barclay it says that god created the world in six days he blessed the world on the seventh day he rested on the seventh day that was part of the creation so we have these pillars of the world this foundation of seven days that hashem spent to create the world then the pastor speaks about the fact that there's a shrita you know you're getting ready for a meal you have a house you have a table now you got to slaughter the animal in order to get ready uh in order for the meal to be prepared by the kim so what's the first step of preparing the meal so to speak preparing the stage setting the stage for man to be able to enter it's said let the earth bring forth all of the many products of the earth the grass the trees etc so then there's a pouring of wine right we get the meal ready there's the drinks we have the food we have the drinks god says let the water gather make way for the land this is all in creation so too the table was set what was the table being said so not only is there a command and potential for there to be uh produce coming from the earth for there to be grass that was going to grow but it's also occasional commands that it indeed grow and as our sages tell us it was waiting for adam harishan to come and to pray and when we when he would daven so the the grass and all the fruits would bring forth their produce [Music] the person whose house this is who's preparing this meal he sends out he sends out a message that the young people should come and they should come to the meal right we always call the kids kids come it's time for dinner invitation to adam and eve come partake of the meal that i've set out before you come partake of the world accomplish that which you are meant to accomplish so they are raised up on the so to speak the wings hashem carried them and he called them godly without there's a change in gears to hear exactly what the verse is which verse we're bringing let's go with hcasif because it makes more sense he says that the passage that we bring to show that hashem wanted them to be godly is the pasuk hashem says that you are like gods when you're coming to do the work of hashem adam and adam and eve when you step into the garden when you're going to pray that the fruits come forth when you're going to abdullah you're going to work the garden and you're going to protect the garden you're going to stand tall and keep the command of hashem about which fruit seeds to eat which not so then you will be godly will infuse the world with spirituality you'll bring god down into the world so after all of this praise after all this preparation what happens in the end meet pesias which fool shall turn away from this what happened what did adam and eve do adam and eve did not listen to god they did not act like they did not act in a godly manner they did not follow god's instructions rather they listened to the nakhosh who said that the kim who said that that trick that tricky statement that if you don't listen to god then you'll be like god which of course is the ultimate falsehood and the ultimate wily statement of the sahara the evil inclination but they listened to him they were they acted in a foolish way that's why and this is the end of that verse initially that's why they referred to as those who lack heart they're missing wisdom so we see that the last verse is a quote from gracious in genesis hashem curses adam and he says you are destined to dust you shall return so we see here we see here an amazing thing and that is that the jewish i'm sorry that that other and we'll see how this applies to the jewish people onto our own and to the mishkan an opportunity that's presented with the with the hakama mishkan with the the hakamas and michigan paralleling the creation of the world there's an opportunity in the creation of the world for man to succeed and to serve god and there's going to be a parallel opportunity as we'll see when it comes to the to the oran when it comes to aaron akain when it comes to the mishkan i'm sorry i keep mixing up words because i'm thinking about there's four sections here we're not going to read all of them we're going to read two of them but there's also a section which speaks about goegum which is the redemption of the jewish people the the final war before mashiach comes before the bishop temple is built so that's the next opportunity that mr hopefully soon will have this opportunity there's a step in and there's a there's a number seven there and there's a whole i'm not going to get into it there's just not enough time and it also has to do with the torah the matrix says and it gives a parallel that hashem creates the torah the torah itself is something which also has the number seven involved in it and it also has this opportunity this foundational you know based on english being built the terror itself is the opportunity mishkan as we're going to see inside and the creation all of these are the house that's built the house that's built that we have to grab the opportunity to serve hashem within that house will come the messiah will arrive we will have a leader a spiritual leader will lead us we'll lead the entire world but there will be a great challenge there will be a great challenge whenever we return to a state adam adam we return to a state of adam before the sin so there's a challenge to serve hashem in that state it's a state that's very hard to maintain other was only able to maintain it for a very short time a few hours the jewish people we went back to that state when we received the torah our sages tell us we're only able to maintain it until shavasana thomas just for 40 days we lost it we served the idol the the ego as of the golden calf so there's a return there's an opportunity but then there's a mishkan god wants to bring his presence into the world through the torah through the basa mikdash through the creation so there's an opportunity and there's a danger and we need to know that going in it's very important to know that but let's see what the measure says in regards to the oil millions in trying to understand what happened in illinois when aaron akane was appointed and anointed to be the priests explains that verse is speaking also about the the tabernacle this is the same verse in michele in proverbs though the house was built with wisdom with bonsai bases this is a reference to witsalo kim the government of the public tells us that hashem told maishrabenu that he filled bitsala with a spirit of god with a wisdom to be able to construct all the parts of the mission to create the mishkan just like the world was created with seven days so too there was a seven day creation up and down up and down before before aaron akaine would step into the mishkan so there was a preparation for aaron to be able to step into the mushroom and that was the seven days of the meal and the seven days that myself was indeed acting as the cohen for seven days your hands will be filled what's the idea that explains that there were seven days that arrow needed to watch moshe moshe who had a revelation from akul exactly how to do the car bonus exactly how the the sacrifices are to be brought all of the different aspects of the carbonus the sprinkling of the blood the shrita the sac the slaughtering bringing up the the parts of the animal onto the mizbayach parts of it are eaten etc so all of these aspects before aaron could actually stand up and do them he needed to learn it from moshe and he needs to become accustomed to it he needed to watch it in action so that when he would take over when he would be the one to do it there will be no mistakes positive said we saw there's a slaughtering that occurs in preparation for the meal this is a reference to the carbonus the sacrifices masrayna there's a pouring there's a wine libation elohan this is the wine libations that were brought upon there was also an ordering setting the table this is a reference to the to the special bread that was placed on the in michigan the children were then called so to speak this is a reference to moshe that he called to the to his brother now he said interesting we find an ontario in a few places that this is perhaps we could say one of them else elsewhere as well when it refers to the zucchini as na'arim refers to them as as the young ones the first of them is the young ones so it's a reference to aaron because there's a youthfulness there's a youthfulness just heard on a on an old uh recording not that old a few years old from marisha shivra repair so saying zuni should be well he told the story over that uh rabb avraham yaffen who was a son-in-law of the altar of navardik who was my russian she was grandfather-in-law so rabab ramyafan he was a reshishiva first in in in europe and in america and then she was basically then in her sister all but when he was in there to streams i'm sorry when he was in america and the basis she was there so maharashtra shiva noticed people noticed that rabbi ramyafan was taking special notice special care of two particular young people both of whom were very cool very with it and he was always talking to them talking to them and learning asking about them etcetera and people wondered like rabbi ramyath was very old at that time why is it that he's specifically connected to these young people and the statement that was made about robert miyafan was that these are the only people that are his age he was such a young person and when we talk about youth when we talk about somebody who's young in this context especially we're speaking about people kohanim is reason hey we know that the priests are those who are especially they have this these reasons they're quick they they are committed they they love the service of hashem that's what their focus is that's what they care about it was the livium the kohanim who ran mila shame eli come to me there's a zrizus these are the leaders of the jewish people the leaders of the jewish people are those who feel the responsibility we'll feel that obligation and feel that that call that pull to do that which is right to serve hashem and so we want to know how do we correct the problem how do we correct the problem of adam and kava the mistake that they made that they didn't serve hashem how do we correct the problem of the jewish people that they serve the idol the golden calf the mishkan is part of that aspect of the correction of the problem and where is the correction of the problem the measure is telling us this is how we fix creation this is how we do things right this is how we walk into the house of hashem hopefully soon there will be a basel how do we get into the base hamikdash how do we get into that world of mashiach the word of the messiah how do we get there how do we pass through the world of goku magog this armageddon that has to come in order for us to reach the other side to reach the service of hashemitsu torah what is in the torah it's all the instructions it's all of the haraot it's all of the the laws that hashem wants us to keep our connection to torah is what keeps us alive and what keeps us excited and what keeps the torah young judaism is not anachronistic it's not old it's so young it's so old it's so young it's so old and so young who is young that's what's going on here the not in the urim the terror has to be fresh to us like like the youth it has to be so exciting to us the torah has to be so exciting that our kids sense it for them the kids naturally get they relate to they they [Music] resonate with youth with excitement is entirely exciting to us is the awaited hashem exciting to us aaron doesn't want to start for the first seven days because he wants to make sure he's got it right he's so excited he wants to do it right he wants to make sure it's he's got it right before he starts there's youth there's there's that excitement and that's what we're after we want to know hashem builds a building he sets the table creates a creation and it's all for us it's all for us because we are the ones who want to keep the torah we are the ones who want to be excited about what the torah has to say we are the ones who realize it's so sweet to be a jew it's such an exciting opportunity to serve hashem it's like naorim we are like youth to the degree we can be like youth to the degree that the terror is sweet and fresh and we are young no matter how old we are we are young to that degree we let a kodeshwarhu into the house we become vehicles this was the call of adam and khaba which they failed at but we can succeed at it all we need to do is look at the torah find out what it is hashem wants from us all that we need to do is learn from an aaron akarian that youth to have that youth i want to bless you ask you to bless me hashem should help us that we should be able indeed to suffuse ourselves with excitement and youth and geshmaq and enjoy and be able to bring indeed hashem into this world into the home that he built to be able to sit at the table the delicious foods that he's provided for us to partake of those foods the torah the
