Ari Goldwag - Terumah - Excitement vs Joy

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold Wegg recorded with a gems never-ending assistance in room up admission Israel 5778 2018 this week's partial partial Struma and we have long descriptions in our parsha in next week's parsha in the partials that follow of the construction of the michigan the different details of all of the parts of the Mishkan and i'd like to speak this week generally about the Mishkan and i'd like to share with you something that actually has to do with our time period that we're entering now which is Aadhaar which is the time of Purim and and Pesach and I want to connect the two concepts but before I do I want to remind you but my crowdfunding for my new CD please go to our Eagle DICOM slash new album and my music is an expression of the same thing that I'm doing here with the partial podcast it's an expression of trying to connect Hashem try to help others connect to a Shemin music is very powerful in doing that and the podcasts that we do here each week of course do have a certain effect they have a powerful effect a concentrated effect but the power of the music is much broader and has a broader appeal so help me out go there join in the music Ari Gold ENCOM / new album no this week's part should we talk about the Mishkan the the first question I want to pose is the first challenge I'd like to challenge you with is the concept of the Mishkan as opposed to the concept of the bass HaMikdash the Mishkan we know travel with the Jewish people through either time in the wilderness and the Mishkan had multiple locations when they got into the Land of Israel sometimes it was in Shiloh it was in other places it moved around that was the Mishkan the best hammock gosh the temple was in one place one location King David found a location which is Jerusalem Micheline Hara bias the Temple Mount that was the location of the of the base of English there were two but they make - there were two temples one which was built by King Solomon about 2,800 years ago approximately and one which was built by the Jews when they returned from Babylonian exile each one stood for about 400 years okay but they stood in one location based on my gosh Michigan I want to understand what is the difference where's the depth of the difference between the Michigan and the base I'm English also important to know and this is going to be actually very much connected to adder and Nissan but the foundation of the concept we're going to speak about later has to do with Michigan was in a portion for foreign sheila was in a portion of f ryeom and it bordered on the portion the the Kurdish on conduction the holy of holies is in the portion of Benjamin up in Yemen base some English was in the portion of Yehuda the temple was in the portion of Judah bordering also on the portion of Bingaman of Benjamin okay so we need to understand the depth of that idea and we need to understand how that relates to either a Nissan the two different holidays okay this question and I'm about to share with you is raised by my son moshe douve he asked a great question and we discussed it at length and i think that i have a really sweet deep answer to the question when it comes to other so this is today it's Rosh Chodesh either it's the beginning of the month in about 14 days from today we have poram we have the holiday of Purim we celebrate the victory of the Jews over the Maliki people Haman who is the antagonist of the story of the Megillah he was vanquished he was from a Moloch the Jewish people were able to through their prayers and through their fasting to turn around a decree which was negative the Jews rejoice every single year of for the great miracle of Purim the Jews were saved mission each - we say mission Nicholas Adam our aim is simply from the time that either comes in we rejoice we rejoice it's a different kind of rejoicing than what we have in Nissan Nissan the month of Pesach right we have in the middle of either we have poem in the middle of Nisan we have Pesach right we have Passover so it's very interesting mission if another member amirseun when it comes to other so we we are adding on adding on joy it's a special time of extra joy all the kids in Israel as they go to God as they go to their to their kindergartens and the nursery schools etc they're all dressed up in their costumes Purim is a time of extra joy either as a ton of extra joy it's a joy of redemption it's a joy of God saving us Nissan is also a time of saving us so this is the question of my son posed to me Nissan a sham took us out of Egypt he took us out of being slaves to Pharaoh took us out of that difficult back-breaking labor so many difficulties that we had there the Jews were the babies were thrown in the water killed why is it that we don't have that same level of rejoicing when it comes to Nissan when it comes to pace off the Passover why is it that when it comes to Purim it's a different kind of rejoicing now the simple the simple aspect of it is that when it comes to poram when it comes to form so we our lives were threatened the entire Jewish people were threatened with destruction with extinction and we were saved when it comes to the story of Pesach of Passover so we weren't threatened with extinction we were slaves that's really bad that's really tough and it's really you know not cool but the fact that hashem saved us there didn't have the same depth of joy because we were saved from we weren't gonna die okay that's that's the simple understanding of the difference and why there's extra joy the the fact that we faced off with extinction with death important so the fact that I shall save this from that is a much greater joy you know obviously we can't we can't have anything we can have a spirituality we can't have anything if we're dead right a person can still be a slave and still perhaps have a relationship with Hashem still alive he's got a chance right okay that's the simple understanding but I'd like a deeper depth I want to understand on a deeper level what is the idea and it relates to the concept of the Mishkan and the base humming dish I will soon see how before we do I would like to share you am a Jewish very interesting Madras the which may be familiar to some that has to do with the construction of the Michigan and where the materials for that construction came from where did it come from where did they get all these things some of the stuff they got from perhaps the fact that I got rich and they had taken all these different all the different wealth from the Egyptians but the message tells us that some of it was indeed from that but some of it was from a different place this isit runa the measure says this is the trauma arrive to view me or to the you me says be shakyas vanish a yak of a venal teapot a minimum very interesting if to view me sends us back back in time to the times of jacob jacob is about to pass on from the world at the end of safer braces at the end of the book of Genesis Jacob is about to pass on from the world and he's giving blessings to all of his sons but they're also all connected to what's gonna happen in the future time the awkward Salman times of gula times a Redemption he's talking to them about their times of redemption and he says to them Karla bond of calls out his son Samuel ahem Ian chuckles four who are sadly Meredith Nathan last ace Michigan you should know that in the future Hashem is going to ask your children after the Exodus and after it redeems your children he's going to ask them to create a tabernacle a Myshkin a sanctuary a you you called trachoma wanna be at home you need to know that you need to have all of the needs for that sanctuary prepared in your hands you have to make preparations now because there are going to be things that they will not be able to get when they're given that commandment to make the Michigan the tabernacle Yaakov Avenue forest saw with his rock a dish was with his divine inspiration with his prophecy that the Jews were going to be in the wilderness and then will be things that they cannot get in the wilderness Shinae Marv how do we know this is true oh yeah and like Kimmy Malcolm he says and God will be with you God shall be with you he tada that's quick to show y'all a Covino chi-lin her clothes were clean but off what is what did Jacob mean when he said we'll be with you what Hashem was not with the Jewish people when Jacob was alive why was he implying that there was gonna be something in the future that's going to take place that Hashem will be with them as opposed to now and like - I'll ahem this is what he said to them ha sido la ilaha illa li mikdash hashem is going to say to you in the future there will be a time when he will be with you in a different way than now and what is a different way as to do with the sanctuary he's going to tell you make me a sanctuary make me a Mick - you're a dome astronauts to be safe with him and he's going to come down and he's going to bring his divine presence to be amongst you she Nemerov also they make Josh wish I hunted a second as the verse says when you make this in English when you make this sanctuary when you make the Mishkan so Hashem brings his FINA to be amongst you his divine presence you can sense that God is with you ok so therefore Yaakov was telling them that they need to prepare certain things already from that time that they wouldn't have later VHT me I'm sure skin watts when the Doberman show Haku interestingly the measure says there are those who prepared for themselves and they had those materials that were necessary for the building of the Mishkan and I had it with them still they had carried it from generation to generation for a few hundred years about two hundred and ten years or perhaps a little bit less they had carried it with him for about two hundred years and they still had those materials because they had been set aside in times of Jacob which means chuckles ooh but there were those who also forgot who lost that tradition Shiva mine Sheva also a Myshkin when Moses came and it was time to make the sanctuary eh save you my heart's Mun hmm shall I let me my show how you have Munaf be other there were those who brought that which they had themselves they had obtained currently they brought the gold and the silver that they had gotten now when they left Egypt but there were those who still had those materials that were given over from generation to generation as a family heirloom with the knowledge that there would be a mission in the future very interesting she came to honor the verse says in regards to certain materials colletion EMSA et toi Kahless argaman whoever had with him whoever had with him the blue dye and the purple dyed wool okay these were things that in order to dye these things you had to have materials that were not available in the wilderness it was a special fish that was used or according to some it was a snail the murex trunculus snail that was used in order to create the dyes and to create the tailless in their government but it was something that they they couldn't obtain in the wilderness and therefore they had it from before and they now were able to use it and give it over but it was something that was nimza eaten as the verse says it was already there with that person but I'm Aaron you see also Kailash your name said it is a sheet him and whoever had with him the cedar wood the special or acacia wood the wood which was going to be used for the construction of the Mishkan okay so there were those who had this heirloom given over all the way from the times of Jacob and they still had it in their hands and so they gave that which they already had there were those who had to create and use that which they had now they had obtained now and they'd CSF points out that there was a difference that there was a difference between someone who would give I mean this is my understanding update so said but there was a difference between those who would give now based on what they obtained now and someone who would give it from what they had in the past I mean think about it you know if you have a firm family heirloom that's waiting to be used for a certain purpose and you know that that's coming that time is coming so that kind of giving is a different kind of giving and someone who perhaps has to get excited and be inspired to he has money he didn't know what that's this gold and the silver was going to be used for that requires a different level of inspiration perhaps a greater level of inspiration to to be willing to give up his silver in his gold for the tabernacle for the Mishkan that that's a greater that's a greater greater difficulty or challenge perhaps so there were two types of people those who gave from that which they had already and that was a certain kind of giving it was already Mohan bhaiyya damn it was already prepared to be given at this time and there were those who gave because they were excited to give and they had some some money that they had recently obtained but they now gave from okay so those are the two types of giving now I want you to hold on to that thought we're going to come back to that and we're gonna see that those two different types of giving have very much to do with the two different types where the of the Mishkan and the base i make - and also has to do very much with the two different times of of poram and Peyser of this time this excited time of poem and the the more perhaps we could say calm time of Pesach and if you think about it you can already start to see there's a parallel you can already start to see poor mrs. time of excitement of oh no we're going to die oh no thank you God you saved us there's this excitement which perhaps because a parallels the excitement of someone who's being masaru's being inspired to give it the money that he has today that's supposed to pay so think about the exodus the exodus was something which was foretold the Jewish people had a mass or a tradition that they would be released from their exile 400 years before our Medina had received a prophecy that he that his children would end up in a stranger's in a strange land they would ultimately be redeemed so it was expected it was something that was Mohonk far it was already ready it was already prepared just like the the acacia wood and the tailless in their gum and the blue dyed wool the purple dog will those items were prepared and ready from before so when it actually happened it was a when when the time came for the redemption of Passover when time came to use and to donate those items which they had his family heirlooms it was a different type of experience it was a more oh the time that it's exciting it's beautiful it's amazing but the time that we've all been waiting for has arrived it's it's more of a a doesn't have as much of an excitement yes it's exciting we've waited so long for this but it's this is what we expected versus oh my god how is it how we're all supposed to die are you saying oh god it saved us that's a different kind of excitement it's a different kind of joy and I want to say I want to share with you that that is the foundation of the difference between poram and pacer and the two different types of giving of the within the Mishkan but it's also the difference between the Mishkan itself the movement the mission is moving around it's here it's there it's in different places there's this movement supposed to them the base HaMikdash the temple which was in Jerusalem it was just it was static there was no movement it was just quiet and I want to point out that it's not a coincidence that the Mishkan ended up in a portion of of Yosef of a frame yo safe and mushiya when you're safe it's very this is a very deep concept but it's very powerful has to do with movement has to do with excitement it has to do with and if you think about it Yosef is the guy Yosef is the guy who's beautiful he's very handsome everyone who sees him gets excited he has these brilliant explanations of dreams and everyone's like wow this guy's amazing he just blows your mind okay that's that's yo safe that's the way the mashiac min Yosef also he comes into the world he his actions the things that he does have to do with moving things moving you know it also do with working with in nature and and creating awesome things within nature mm Ella King David Mashiach Ben David the Messiah who comes from David his whole thing is quite is is the miraculous but the and it's awesome miracles but it's it's just like oh this is what we've all been waiting for this is what we've all been waiting for mushiya no safe builds the Land of Israel he builds Jerusalem but he does not yet bring the beasts HaMikdash does not yet bring the temple machined of it here job is to build the temple his job is to bring the soul so to speak into the already built Land of Israel so I mean if you talk about current events are you talk about what's going on in the world today our God I love as I've mentioned numerous times the great sages spoke about this with 100 want Simon spoke about this the great sages of 100 years ago 70 years ago spoke about the fact that they were in the excess of the machine and we still are in the footsteps of the Messiah but there's a building that's going on the Mishima no safety type of building 6 I vow there's Wars and there's fighting and there's excitement we're building unbelievable moat motion and movement and and back and forth that's my Shipman Yosef process that we're experiencing machete endeavor comes everything comes down everything settles everything settles and it parallels Shevin Yosef is the aspect of the six days of the week Yosef corresponds to the number six the six days of the week where there's action emotion action movement she have been dogged david corresponds to Shabbos the seventh aspect we just receive all that we've worked for in the six days we enjoy on Shabbos Misha Torah Erev Shabbos yeah the Shabbos whoever works hard we're running around on air Shabbos on Friday I just came back just now from the Mercado you know I bought the Collins and I bought the liver and I bought the salt that we needed for the cooking at Sarah there's movement there's running around like my wife is cooking right Shabbos we just enjoy we just receive ma shumou Hank VAR what's already been prepared it's already been prepared Yosef is the aspect of movement Dov it a shipment of it is the aspect of quiet mullis's quiet we just receive what's already been prepared and that corresponds parallels euro safe corresponds to Michigan Michigan is movement it's moving around corresponds to the aspect of those who were giving of what they received now of what they had now movement pay some English corresponds to Chavez receiving ma shumou confer those who are giving who have all the way that that which that heirloom which was giving down all the way from the times of Yaakov and that's also the difference the same parallels the difference between poem and paisa poem it's a it's a surprise we don't know that we're we didn't expect that we were we're good citizens of Persia and 127 provinces why we're so surprised there's such excitement it's it's oh my gosh we're about to be killed what have we done wrong crying Betty Miss Bates at Wayfarer you tumbler Robin everyone is fasting and eulogizing and doing shuva repenting that's Yosef I know it's Mordecai and Esther come from the tribe of Benjamin Binyamina no safe work very much connected that's pacer poor I'm sorry that's porn Pesach corresponds to the this aspect the seventh aspect of Shabbos and it's beautiful because if you come from tishoo a tishoo a clash from kiss like David schwa either either is the sixth month counting from Tishrei and Nissan is the seventh month so Pesach is in the seventh it has that calmness right we eat the matzah which has no leavening it's just flat let's just calm it doesn't have too much taste well my chef comes by the way one of the descriptions in Tanakh and mushiya is they ask the final you know the redemption not the misshapen Yossi process but the mushy has been done it when he comes there's no taste there's no more but here there's no more excitement right it says about the fruits this is a Gomorrah in suka it says that the time is a period shava the etrog the fruit which is not talking about the the bitter fruit which is since I was actually talking about as explained by them unfortunately talking about that thick part there's like a thick thing like it has a NAPA mela like a thick skin that's the fruit it has no taste there's no taste in the times of the Messiah everything is just we do it because it's right it's good and there's no yes or Hara anymore there's no excitement times of Ashiya everything is just everyone's just trying to serve God there's no fighting there's no atheism there's no agnosticism there's no fighting there's no excitement but chef comes chef Mondavi comes it's just quiet Shabbos there's a chill until that time there's excitement fights back and forth who's right who's right about God is that this one is it this group fighting back and forth excitement pouring his excitement Pesach he is quiet Pesach is receiving a self is a nice on the seventh month the seventh month from Tishrei Shabbos aspect of receiving watch a movement farm I want to bless you did I ask you to bless me and I want to remind you wait before I do the blessing I remind you to go to my website re/code ENCOM / new album and there you can join with me in the excitement and then eventually receive lots of cool things that's to do with music join in the music I wanna bless you and bless me back a Shem should help us that we should be able to recognize these two aspects because we all experience them and some we should see help us see how these two things in our lives are in our lives our lives are cyclic we have six days of the week when we have Shabbos some should help us to see that to recognize that to utilize that to enjoy the times of excitement poram types of simcha and also enjoy the receiving of the seventh aspect of Shabbos and of Pisa and of base HaMikdash may be built speedily and in our days thank you so much for listening and wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of listeners like you for more podcasts like this please visit
