Terumah - For Hashem's Sake

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a chums never-ending assistance in Roma finishes around fifty seven eighty two thousand twenty this week's Marcia's parsha Struma and we have the beginning of the command of a collage for who of God to the Jewish people to create a Michigan sanctuary in which God would rest His divine presence the Jewish people would have an opportunity to come and serve God in a unique way in the Mishkan and as a result of their service of God as a result of creating this sanctuary God would dwell in their midst in the midst of the Jewish people also lemic - like to share with you a beautiful idea from reply Moo Levites see hostmonster and before I get into the meat of what he has to say just give you his introduction we're not gonna read inside but very powerful important to understand and that is that the parshas of the tabernacle of a sanctuary of the Mishkan are unique in the Taira there's an extensive description of the command to create the different parts of the Mishkan to create all the different aspects of the structure itself of the calum the vessels that were used inside of the Mishkan and then we have the actual creation of those things in the description of all of them and the turkey seems to go on and on we have this week's partial next week's parsha we have to purchase farther along that describe all these different aspects of the Mishkan and he points out that there's an amazing thing we find has I'll say in regards to the small you know it's just a few sukham that Eliezer speaks about the story of what happened when he came to find rifka and he describes a whole story the tire had just told us the story and then we hear Eliezer repeating the story and cuz I'll tell us that there are many things in the Torah that are what has all referred to as the teachings of the sons the teachings of the children that are taught to us in a letter they're not even actually said explicitly in the Torah but they're mentioned or they're they're inferred from an extra letter in the Torah from next reward in the Torah and we're able to infer many many different things that are not stated explicitly but when it came to the description the speech of the slave of avril lavigne of Abraham which was Eliezer the Torah goes through and shows us each and every word initial reaction because wants to teach us certain things about there are carrots the way the things are supposed to be the way that things are supposed to you know a person was interact with others etc when it comes to parsha of tumour parsha of tit sabha via quebec Uday's so we have these descriptions of the michigan which are extensive and doubled and the michigan was only for that time let's remember the Mishkan was only used well not just in the wilderness it was also used until the base some english the temple was to be built but once the base time English was there it stood for approximately 400 years second base something their second temple stood for another 400 years and we will have the Michigan again when the when Messiah comes as per huzzah or say just tell us that - come on suka more in other places but for all intents and purposes it seems very difficult to understand why the Taira repeatedly speaks about the Mishkan the sanctuary what is it there to teach us so room time tells us that it must be and I'll read this part inside McCamish ah Mishkin who my daughter shall kodesh work will give Yoho remain a moving shoe who never even a cicada marshal mallow the base have made the Mishkan the tabernacle was a place was a place where Shem appears in the world so to speak and the MK needs a moment in front of you do Commission Amash la mala he tells us that the Michigan itself was meant to be a replication in a certain sense of the way the upper worlds are created where I Shem himself as it were we don't know what this means obviously we have to be careful about hag Shama Hashem is not physical a sham has no physical presence but our perception of Shem our perception of the way he interacts with us so there's the way that he appears so to speak in the spiritual realms that is duplicated in the Mishkan and therefore we need to understand that when the tyre is giving us this entire description of all the details of the Mishkan it's for a reason in canaan autonomy protecting missional cold mush llamada we can understand what's going on above the a my Reid has purchased a Michigan capella so with that you know bit of information we start to have a little bit about understanding why the Torah tells us so much details so many details well vods ice vanish but you know Michigan citizen alum iris instead of course it tells us that there are deep secrets that are contained within all the different details of the Michigan akamutsu may ankle hi this is something that we don't understand COBOL I'm understand the Kabbalists acne socket of our common earthworm sister Sheila right some peterebecca sow we're gonna look at some interesting points that are the top our highs of our sages in regards to the base some English regards to the Michigan I'm sorry in regards the tabernacle and we begin with the idea of course the beginning of any concept in the tire the beginning any idea is always the most important foundational idea because the rush the head the beginning which was like a Russia Shana at the beginning of the year is the foundation for the entire year it's the seed so to the first point that we talked about in regards gracious barley came in the beginning of the tire as gracious there's so many different things to understand about the word braces about the letter bases of braces which we spoke about when we spoke about braces but over here as well the beginning of the Mishkan the beginning of the tabernacle vehicle issue what God says the Jewish people bring to me ly bring to me a donation okay well su ly mikdash POSIX says you shall make from me a temple a sanctuary okay what is the idea of equally true myrrh which is the foundation of the sanctuary bring for me take for me a a donation bringing bring a donation pshoo Cazale leash me now she brings it has I'll tell us an amazing thing an important thing foundational thing that we need to understand we bring it for me what is Li me lish me bring it from my sick God says don't do it with any ulterior motives do it because bring your donation for me pure with the pure intent mushiya called ever michigan assertion ashamed of a day every single thing in the Michigan the tabernacle needs to be done for the sake of God only for the sake of God the latest sorry but I feel in the cou the katana shell Pinilla adds miss the person should not when they bring that donation to the Michigan to the sanctuary it shouldn't have any ulterior motive shouldn't have any selfish reasons it's done and he brings a beautiful idea unbelievable idea from the building of the base hammock - see if he brings and follow this because it's really interesting very foundational but success in Malakand in first Kings chapter 5 verses 16 through 19 by you shall hear only more King Solomon sent a message to Hyrum was a certain king I tell you that this David avi you knew my father David King David kilala despised the shame Hashem lack of he wasn't able to build the temple for the name of Hashem is God if namaha massive avoid I taste somebody some toughies copies Raghava gamer verse tells us that King Solomon was sending a message to Hyrum so he said to him you know that my father wasn't able to build the temple because there were so many wars that were going on he was involved in wars Rohini I might live nice by socio-emotional akaike showed irrational Davi Davi lay more so Solomon says Solomon says to him I'm the one who God said would build the base image below temple as God said to my father being flashy retain toc-toc al-khasaka who even advice wish me your son I'm going to who's going to follow you is going to be sitting on the throne in your place after King David dies so he's the one who's going to build the base I'm ENGLISH the temple for my name Imperial Shara dr. doc explains Loretta Legolas Leia Tom k ik kalma Noi Kela how you're covered up if I'm really Z time on your so there are that tells us that she'll marmella in explaining to theorem why King David didn't build me some English but rather she some of his son is going to build me some English he explained it he said it because the war is but that that's not the real reason he said that because he wanted to protect the honor of David hemella but that wasn't really the reason the real reason was Hashem had decided that he wouldn't build today some English now what was the real reason in Southaven monoatomic showed us another theorem by Mohammed share survived like we had understand why do you say that and he goes from I can read the whole thing inside but he says you know there were Wars in time in King David yes domina Mela fought off all the enemies of the Jewish people held him at bay and then at a certain point or tells us that there was an end to the wars and there was peace and then King David was told that he's not gonna be able to build the base some English so it's clearly not because of the wars haha I'm gonna do our show i'm hilah double panel opinion I make gosh he says that what we see is that King David did have an opportunity to build a base some Englishmen yah sham can we were Burnaby Sean but he was prevented as the novice points out I thought we should show her the ruts and legality says the fear of nikamoda Ave become which part not me when welcome he's a Tom was just showing them in namaha why did he tell that to do with the Wars what's the idea so this is an amazing thing here this amazing thing Ella near Lima social climber Levitz it seems to me like this Kimmy I assure you the wo mice men on even higher she even heard of it as hammock gosh since he had Wars and there would be more Wars after the quiet he was gonna you know there would be offensive wars so but King David since he was involved with war he wasn't able to build a base in English why she can't wash leba tell us about how Lucas made some English King Solomon said when he dedicated the temple he said like this Piazza in ko ka cm column AHA ah la voy but their traditional thing is the Spanish and Arabic our Taba Weiser Shabani see Hashim Khan the Jewish people when they're gonna go out to war after the base some English after the temple is built so they're gonna pray they're gonna come to the base some English are gonna come to the temple and they're gonna pray have success in war behind explains encryption beloved shots feel abit base I make this mighty lovely stone circle Sevilla Mihama the the base summing this will have besides of course for the fact that it's going to be a place where the Jewish people are going to serve God bring their core bonus bring the sacrifices it started or bring atonement for themselves for any sense that they might have committed besides to that it's going also going to be a tremendous tool in war why because never the Jewish people go out to war all thing to do is to pray and pray to God that they should have success in their war and because of the base I'm ENGLISH because the power of their connection to God because of the war because of the base I make - there will be successful at war the CAF cassavan Russia I grew up saying the measures tells us that hummin he wrote a letter and he wrote as far as far as to shabanam of how many kilometer come in Hashem is life he's speaking about the the Jewish people if they're gonna build the temple build a base and make - what they do they come in and they do all kinds of magic Turkish I'm Jason you're in a hurry about him asylum when you come out of the temple because of their powerful magic that they do in the temple so they're able to destroy the entire world okay but ha maan understood something which of course was warped by his description of a talking about magic but the truth was that the Jewish people because of the base image because of the temple because of their prayers there because of their connection to God through the temple David had the ability to be more successful at war became a Sheriff David I'm an alum Weiss says the clash in love is an amazing thing since King David was going to be involved in war Harry hi Selita Elza been in Mesa mikdash de Lynette's Abu Mohammed King David he had a reason an ulterior motive to wanting to build the base summing this because he would thereby be able to be more successful at war amazing thing Follette high opinion leader Shiva shameless when he builds the base something that's just not going to be completely ashamed from I'm for the sake of heaven there will be some ulterior motive even if it's to the benefit of Jewish people but nevertheless it's not gonna be completely for the sake of God option it's I can show you swab of Mahatma Gandhi who cover shall I of course when the Jewish people win a war that's also an honor to heaven so to speak because it shows that God is on the side of the Jewish people God is on the side of those who do what's right God can make a relish ma but it still takes away from the purity of love shame shame I'm of it being done for the right reasons just safe safe hey my life I'm him bill ahem are you sure in the end who is it that won the war the Jewish people right the Jewish people are the ones who want to war that's what we see on the surface Polish mud certainly is Nucky Lagoon ray Caesar came true Levites when it comes to the being machine from Miami comes to doing things to the sake of heaven it needs to be completely pure there can't be any semblance of it being for a selfish motive come my puckish him shalosh militia leaders myarray apostle we find regards to sacrifices when it comes to regards to making an object holy for the sake of God has to be it can't be for the sake of God and also for the sake of oneself has to be pure has to be completely for the sake of God lish ma that's the idea of leche ma okay so this is explained sometimes for Levites why mm Elif was not able to build the base I make - it was because if he would build it it would not be done completely the same sure mine for the sake of heaven and so he's teaching us here an amazing thing that when it comes to the Sh'ma what is the idea of lachemann with this idea of doing something for the sake of heaven what does it mean coming in and bringing a need of a donation to the temple it has to be done completely change of mind for the sake of heaven it has to be I don't completely forgot it can't have any ulterior motives if there is an ulterior motive it takes away from the Binion on Michigan because the Michigan is about God appearing in the world about God placing his divine presence upon us and where does God appear God appears in the place where we get rid of ourselves to the extent that we get rid of our own egos and our own interests and our own selfish motives to that degree Hashem comes into our life and manifests in our lives and reveals himself in our lives that's the first point that we see here time tells us another point he says an amazing thing may Scalia shade vanilla but the first point is the Shema needs to be done for the sake of God become leech from I completely forgot second point is that there's an edema slave there's a giving up of oneself when a person brought a donation to the to the to the base I'm ENGLISH to the sanctuary to the Mishkan so the verse tells us there was an adidas Laver is giving up he says such an amazing thing here he brings down crime levels he named is varam short roomis Amishman Neiman eleven shame happening Mooloolaba safe there's a very interesting fact I could easily go unnoticed and that is when it enumerates the precious stones that were used on the iPhone on the breastplate of the coin girl on the other of the high priest so these precious stones which were given they are nowhere in at last but MSV know how you oh hey now you cursed VI server the truth is they were extremely expensive they were very they had a very high value could East America Duchenne ignoring the condition says on a metallic Amanda how love should die -
