Ari Goldwag - Terumah - Shechinah Returning

you're listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorded with a chemise never-ending assistance in remote Bush Mission Israel 5777 2017 this week's Varsha is parsha Struma and we have the command of a Shem God speaks to Moshe to speak to the Jewish people to command them to build a Michigan to build a very special location or traveling location a temple where the Jewish people will be able to interface or to interact with Hashem with God and I'd like to share with you an idea which I saw in a safer over climb Friedlander say first if say hi but before we get into the DVAR Torah I actually want to share with you that in regards to my safe for my book so you heard about it here I've spoken about it I've been trying to raise the funds to put out the book I have raised a significant amount of money enough to get the thing started and the safer will actually be coming out in just a few weeks we are printing the safer right now it's being printed as we speak there is still a sizable amount of money that's needed in order to close the gap on the printing costs as well as the advertising costs and I wanted to make an offer that whoever listens to this podcast or whoever whoever else who's interested in joining so you can go on my website Ari Gold Wacom go on to the page which says Buy Now on the top of the page there's a donate button if you donate $50 towards my book towards the printing of the safer so I will send you a signed copy to your door and you'll receive it probably before the safer actually gets into stores and I just will mention that the amount that's needed to close the gap on the actual printing of the safer it is $1,500 I have most of the printing covered but there's still that amount and doing proper advertising print advertising letting people know that the the book exists etc also is a few thousand dollars and so I need to close that gap so I'd really appreciate whoever can help out now back to our regularly scheduled program speaking about the partial speaking about the Mishkan what is the concept of the mission beautiful idea McClane Friedlander brings down he brings a Madras the manager says it's in British raba Piyush Moscow Hashem like Emma's house began the raha yen it's speaking about after the hater bottom aeration after the sin of Adam hear the sounds of a Shem as they were walking in the garden and they hide Mr ba-ba-ba-ba Khanna virocana says my Holly think suit Khan doesn't say Mahalo late but rather elem it Holly that it's a reflexive form what does it indicate makup eights viola the idea is that after the sin of Adam her Ishim as a result of his sin Tichina the divine presence was rising was going up was leaving the presence of God would be felt less and less and less in the world as a result of the sins of man it Carina batatinha myself because originally God's presence was completely in the inner lower worlds in our realm it's not like today where it's very difficult to discern to feel God in the world but rather it was open open manifestation of a sham Kaman Shikata Adam original measure says once Adam arashan sins in stockage penal era kiyohara shown so god's divine presence went up to the first level of the heavens huh takane when Cain sent miss TACA TACA SHANY so that sin caused God to ascend further to the second heaven to the second level Dora no Gina in the generation of a notion Ashley she as a result of their sins God's divine presence went up to the third level Dora marble levy as a result of the generation of the flood it went into the fourth level there are flood alchemy she in the generation of the dispersion went out to the fifth day Miam the generation of saddam to the sixth level mitzrayim be my Avram - we and in the days of Abraham as a result of the sins of Egyptians God's divine presence went up to the seventh level so it went farther and farther away from mankind measures continues under Shabbat study came to a Lehane seven register individuals got up and they were able to bring the Divine Presence back into the world and these are they miss Kakaako Abraham Isaac and Jacob lady cajas I'm rum Moshe Levi Hass I'm Roman Moses I'm at Avraham I really live off Abraham got up as a result of his good deeds as a result of his success it is kindness the person we was he brought God's divine presence from the seventh level back down to the sixth am I used to have a rhythm involve LaHaye Isaac was able to get up and through his good deeds bring God's divine presence closer to the world from level six level five a MIDI occupy Rita man hey hey little it Yaakov Jacob was able to bring down through his good deeds God's presence back down from level 5 to level 4 Amnon levy vitamin huh reveal Alicia Levi was able to bring it down from level 4 is level 3 I'm like aha so I read them in Ashley Sheila shaniyah hast brought it down from level 3 to 2 I'm an imam I'm gone up I read them and I SHANY Rishon he brought it down from level 2 to level 1 I'm in my ship I read them in the Molalla motto and at that point Moses was able to come along through his good deeds and perhaps through the very giving of the Torah itself he was the one who was the vehicle for the final revelation of a sham back in the world for a return bringing the world back to the state of other my region caught him a can of Adam before the sin now at which point was it indeed true that Moshe brought the world back to the state or brought the Jewish people back to this state it was at har c9 Mount Sinai when the Jewish people receive the Torah now after the Jewish people sinned with a Haida ego with the sin of the golden calf as we'll see in a few partials from now the Jewish people lost that exalts his state they lost that level they were no longer in this state of utter Mauritian code Makeda was the first man before the sin but through the Mishkan through the building of the Mishkan through the tube of the jewish people through Moshe obey no asking for forgiveness on behalf of the Jewish people they were still able to return or to maintain some semblance of that state as the Jewish people received the forgiveness on Yom Kippur and most Ravena came down with Lukesh nearest with the second set of tablets which was indeed on Yom Kippur and they began to build Myshkin they learned the laws of the Michigan to build a mission on the day after Yom Kippur proclaimed Friedlander brings from the Rambam the idea of the Michigan idea the foundational concept of the Michigan it's a rom ban in schmoes cough hey pasa Calif chapter 25 verse one this certain Michigan who the foundational concept or the secret aspect of the Michigan is she aha covered a Shoshanna lies are seen I chicken ala Minister that the honor of God the divine presence which dwelled upon Mount Sinai during the revelation at Mount Sinai when the Jewish people receive the Torah that same presence will dwell upon the Mishkan in a somewhat hidden way commotion mr.zhang as the pustak says thereby you can collide a seminar see another verse refers to the fact that the honor of God dwelled upon Mount Sinai Luke said and we found a verse says in Deuteronomy chapter 5 verse 21 painter I know I show no key no Escovedo as godly it speaks about the fact that God showed us at Mount Sinai his great honor his greatness King custom Amishman uses the same wording in regards to the mission of the tabernacle Hashem melius Amishman the honor of God which is often a reference to the Shayna divine presence that honor filled up the tabernacle the history of a Michigan Schneiderman Florida Shem melius a Michigan and in reference to the Michigan it's mentioned twice that the honor of Hashem filled up the tabernacle can negate ask avoid a vast God like and it corresponds to these two aspects of the RAM bond of the honor of God and the greatness of God for higher by Myshkin Thamud Amos raha coverage nearly hammock rc9 through the vehicle of the Mishkan through the tabernacle that honor of God that divine presence which was revealed to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai was constantly with the Jewish people Vavoom Moshe Hara a Levada brush in need Marla Behar Sinai Moses received the very words the very divine revelation that he received at Mount Sinai gods were revealing the law telling him the instructions for the Jewish people which he got him on sonic would also come Michigan the Michigan was the source of that word commotion our Vermont antara just like it says in regards to the giving of the Torah this is a verse in Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 36 Menasha my mish me aha scholarly Asaka from the heavens God made his voice heard in order to guide you to direct you all right Sarah is shaiiaja Dolan on the earth he showed you his great fire Cosmo Myshkin save Rabanne says that in regards to the tabernacle it also says ye smash a comb and a barrel of Melaka Perez Moses would hear the voice of Hashem of God speaking to him from on top of the ark from the ark cover me bench near crew room from between the two cherubs by a very love and he would speak to him Vineet polyamory love it doubles the fact that Hashem spoke to him give much a moba Kabbalah to teach us that which we received a tradition sure I called bomb in ashram I'm Elmo shamanaka poorest Moses would hear the voice it would come down from heaven and then it would it would be sin it would sound as if it was coming from on top of the crew of him we show me divert him off from there God would speak to him he called deeper and Moshe Hyomin a shaman biome in Ishmael even a crew of him each time Moshe would hear God speak they would come down from heaven between the two cherubs Ghaderi who devar of schemata Motoko age in the same way as sham spoke to moshe or to the jewish people god's word was heard from midst of fire from amidst the fire so we see that there's a parallel between the michigan and the revelation at har Sinai so again we have two points here so far the first point is that the sins of man are they my reaching the first man etc through the generations cause this Takasaki no cause God's presence to be removed from the earth so to speak to be less seen and then through the righteous individuals through their good deeds the divine presence was brought back into the world until the point of Moshe Rabbeinu when Hashem Sheena returned completely to the world and then it manifested first at Mount Sinai at har Sinai and then it manifested completely and continued to remain with the Jewish people through the tab and echo through the Myshkin now very interestingly and beautifully time Freelander brings that there on bond in his introduction to safer schmoes to the book of Exodus he speaks about the concepts of the safer of braces of Genesis and the book of Exodus what are each of these books about so the first safer I'm going to read you inside usually my cost of Saveur braces shows safer I get 0 but he - animated series called night sir first the Torah completes the book of Genesis which speaks about the creation of the world and the creation of all of the aspects all that's all that's in the world will be McCrae Hall voice it speaks about the that which happened to the patriarchs Coulomb all of them Shane Cain Yasir Lazaro because in a certain sense on a conceptual level the actions and the the things that occurred to the patriarchs was a foundation for what would in the future occur to all of the Jewish people to all of their offspring Nishikawa crammed see you read the form Leroy's la dia caller austin la villa HAMP all that happened to the patriarchs happens to their children we have this idea of my son of a similar bonham that the actions of the forefathers of the patriarchs whatever happened to them those things that occurred with them so in the future time in their children in their offspring it's going to also be occurring it's going to be a reflection of what happened to them so let's say for brittish's that's the book of Genesis lays down the foundations the creative aspect the source the seed the beginning maharishi he dominates Sira and after we completed the foundations which is the formation the creation aspect his school safer after so the tour begins another book Benny on Hamas a bomb in our ahim which is a reflection of all that which is planted so to speak at the beginning here you have Genesis which is the foundation and then you have the hash LaHood the results of that foundation when I see accolades savor Baelish Mo's and the book of Exodus is specifically for this idea of Ailish most the Union hog ulceration and eggs of a fish mccoullough momento it's speaking about the idea of Exile the first exile which was explicitly decreed upon the Jewish people embrasures and the Google or the redemption from it so Exodus the book of Exodus is a complete description of the Gullah sand a gula of the exile and the redemption so where do we see the redemption of the Jewish people we didn't get in the book of Exodus we did not yet get to the Land of Israel in fact we don't get to Israel so after the entire five books of Moses it's only really at the beginning of yoshua of Joshua so where is the redemption v anyhow Gullah st. on initial on since the rom ban that when is the Exile complete when is it that we are redeemed at yahuveh member kareemah Dharma savasana Shuvo it's when they return to their place to the original level of the patriarchs because yacht's me miss Ryan and when they left Egypt I thought be sure yachtsman Base Nevada even though they were no longer slaves I Dinoco shrew girl and they were still considered in exile here ru Barrett's Lola Hammond abukuma main bar because they were in a land that wasn't theirs confused wandering in the wilderness because Shabo rc9 for us who have michigan says the Ramban when they came to Mount Sinai and then they made the tabernacle the shaba kodesh Berkeley he knows of a name and God brought his divine presence and placed it upon him as shovel a mouse of Awesome that was when they returned to the original state or the original level of the patriarchs so we see an amazing thing we see that the patriarchs were on the level that we see over here that we see and that after the Michigan which she doesn't say this explicitly here but this is the implication that the Michigan brought the Jewish people back to the original state of unemotional of Adam before the sin so if we're saying that this is the gula when they were turning to the place of the all votes that means that they're always also on a certain aspect they were able to bring the Shana back into the world because they in a certain sense had the level of other additional comic hate of anima for the sin they had hushirat' they had the Divine Presence dwelling upon them and how did they do it's very interesting because when I came to the mission when I came to the tabernacle so the Jewish people had to do certain actions they had to perform certain activities add to bring the car button said to bring the sacrifices they had to there were many different parts of the avoiding in the Michigan parts of the service of a Shem in the tabernacle but all of those sister came Friedlander were performed by the others themselves always heyn heyn Hamer cover the idea is that the patriarchs they themselves were the chariot or the the vehicle through which I coded for Hashem reveals himself in the world throughout through which Hashem his Shana's divine presence is revealed in the world and how did the avos do that isn't crime-free lender he says that they did that through every single action we read the story of Avram in saganaki we see Avram it's very clear as I said his kindness gets hook we see also his willingness to sacrifice himself to give himself up completely for God Yaakov Aveeno very interestingly how did he jacob manifest divine god's divine presence in the world it was within all that he did the Torah describes how he went to Lovins house and he was a shepherd and how he amassed this green amount of wealth it speaks at length about his amassing of wealth and the idea is that Yaakov Aveeno and truly all of the avos were able to infuse every aspect of their physicality with spirituality they were constantly focused on God they were constantly focused on doing the right thing on doing godly acts within the world so they brought God's presence into the world through their Atticus as we said through their righteousness through their goodness and in a parallel way the Jews returned to that level where they would be infusing the world with godliness when they receive the Torah the Torah itself instructions of the Torah indeed infused the world with godliness infused all of our actions are banal ilaha vero all that happens between myself and others all that happens between God and myself all that happens between myself and myself all these aspects are infused with godliness and as a continuation extension of that revelation of Mount Sinai is the Mishkan the tabernacle Russian continues to speak to Moshe and to the Jewish people and to instruct them and to guide them in their avoidance of sham in their service of God such that they return to the level of the patriarchs and in so doing the return to the place of an operation called my head of Adam before this soon where God was completely present and everyone was aware of his presence in the world so I was thinking and tried to bring this idea down and try to get something concrete out of it we can see that there's an amazing revelation and it's hi-c Knight's Mount Sion is the revelation of Mount Sinai the Jewish people had this awesome experience of God and a Shem directed them and gave them the laws her life the the conditions of what those of what that relationship with Hashem looks like and how to infuse the world with godliness as we said and there was something concrete that was necessary in order to continue that relationship in order for that to continue they had to have a mission to have a tabernacle which would be the focus of their service which would be the focus of the place where they would receive continued instruction continued guidance and I think that this is something which is true personally and nationally and also specifically to to what we spoke about in the very beginning which is my safer I'll get back to that but speaking about it in terms of us and what we can do what we can take home from this idea from this from this lesson over time Friedlander is that we get inspired and we hear words of Torah and we hear these ideas but how do we make them concrete how do we take that inspiration with us we have a year let's say that we listen to or we learn some words of Torah and where do we take that how do we create that Michigan for ourselves how do we we continue to draw that inspiration into our lives and the answer is through commitments through the commitments that we make through our commitments to Torah through the actions that we take the the place that it continues is in our Michigan it's in our base magicians in the place where we study it's in the place where we pray where we davon but the commitments that we make when we learn the Torah and it's not just a theory but its action its action what can I do today what class said what kind is gonna do today how can i infuse my life with godliness it's in that continuation it's in that commitment to the continuation where the godliness indeed is infused that's the mission of the tabernacle it's in the continuous learning it in making it real making it concrete and for me and I hope that you guys will join along with me for me these Sheeran that I've been saying for almost 10 years now these are in a certain sense they're beautiful they're ideas they're a revelation at Mount Sinai but where does it become concrete for me it's in a safer this one can hold in their hand they can bring them with them and they can take to the Shabbos table and be able to share this idea or any of the ideas in the safe all right any idea any tour idea with others that book so I'm asking you again to please join with me to help make this book concrete it already is concrete it's being printed but in order for it to have a cue in order for it to continue to be printed and for it to be seen by more people I need your help in order for that to be possible so I invite you again to go on my site to the page which says Buy Now and to donate $50 or whatever amount you're able to and if you do $50 or more I'll send you a signed copy of the safe fair and I want to bless you and please bless me back Hashem should help us that we should be able to hear that divine presence to hear the message to hear that revelation so to speak at Mount Sinai to be able to have that experience to be able to bring it into our Tabernacles into our Michigan into our but a Midrash the place where we study places where we pray should help us to make concrete real commitments that would help us hold on to that revelation to hold on to that infusion of spirituality so that it's not just a one-time event but then it continues throughout our lives and wherever we go thank you so much for listening of a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious donations of
