Why does the Torah tell us of Betzalel's family origins? What is the significance of the 'intellect, wisdom and knowledge' with which he was endowed? Why was it important that the mishkan (santuary) be built with these aspects? How does it parallel the creation of the world? Why does the Torah stress that Hashem was the source of these powers of Betzalel? How does the mishkan serve to atone for the sin of the Golden Calf? What was the difference between the way the Jews brought their gold for the calf, as opposed to how they brought their gold for the mishkan? Find out in this week's parsha podcast.

this week's parsha is partials vehicle
MP coude and this time of year when we
speak about the Mishkan
so often we will discuss and talk about
bit Sol Sol was the one who was the
artist who designed many of the parts
many of the aspects many of the vessels
of the Mishkan and I'd like to share
with you the Madras we're gonna look at
it I believe it's a same measures that
we spoke about in previous years but
we're gonna perhaps see it in a
different light or come at it from a
different angle I want to remind you
once again about my crowdfunding which
Barra Hashem is nearing $20,000 over 140
backers and I encourage you to get
involved
Ari Gold Wacom / new album I can't do it
without you so our goal is $55,000 which
is a high goal and I can only get there
with your help so please go to article
like.com / new album the Meldrick in
speaking about bit solo so tells us
Halawa has me9 lay all of the praise the
Torah gives us numerous praises
Babbitt's all he was filled with wisdom
chochmah binah das for aspects of wisdom
he had an amazing talent to create the
different parts of the Mishkan where did
this come from where did this praise
come from so the measure tells us first
of all my Shiva yahuda it came from his
from his tribe from his family Khan's
Oklahoma is a Swiss whose Miriam it came
from Miriam Miriam was it was his
great-grandmother I believe or his
grandmother my asslam she never asked
Lambo team the verse tells us that
Shiphrah and puah who who are hazael
identify as your cravat and Miriam so
from the fact that they saved the Jewish
children so they merited to have houses
what are the houses mayor you have
bought team basic una
samatha the measure tells us it's a
reference to the house of priesthood the
house of kingship you have it not lucky
who know Malthus so your head
she took the priesthood and the kingship
are in Congo oh my shrah mela her two
sons aaron was the high priest his
children became the priests for all time
and Moses was the King Nemerov a
habitual Mela etc Emir not Lahoma Miriam
what was the house that she received for
her good deed so the house that she
received was wisdom shemitah boots alo
that her grandson or her great grandson
was bits obviously menno dove it
eventually from it's a low came King
David hi I'm Ella who was a king so she
also had this aspect of kingship she
never rotated like a that she a
frat was another net which is another
name for Miriam so she had her core was
her son it's all been already been
so her great-grandma his great-grandma
it's Allah's great grandmother was
Miriam will see Badawi Benicia FRA see
also King David is referred to as
somebody who was an F Rotti person
someone from a frat shabam me Miriam
Schneck race a frost she he came from
Miriam who was also referred to as F for
us or efrat Ashley should wear my logo
neighborhood Island okay so one moment
so we see that bit sallow so he came
from the stock of Miriam Miriam was
somebody who recognized the importance
of Jewish continuity of respecting God
respecting God's command not to kill and
thereby she and your kravid married it
to have great children grandchildren
great-grandchildren
who were amazing human beings the
hokhmah but solemn he had that wisdom it
came from Miriam even King David his
kingship came from Miriam okay mich
leash Eduardo neighbor ha olam with
these strings
three things okay we talked about hoc
mabini and das
these are three different aspects of of
thought of wisdom Hamas a certain type
of wisdom bina is a different type of
wisdom want us to do it just general
intellect want us to do it intuition and
dance has to do with applied wisdom so
these three aspects were that which
through them was made the world China
Russia mahathma your cell or as the
verse says in proverbs chapter 3 verse
19 God with wisdom created the
foundation of the earth
Kaneesha my name is swoon I prepared the
heavens with intuition and then there's
another verse over there verse 20 but I
tie too high my significant with his das
with his applied wisdom the depths were
broken open so we see that the world is
created with these three aspects with
which that Sal is praised for which he's
praised the besharam hello nassau
Myshkin we have these three things
creating the Mishkan very interesting as
we read the match we need to understand
we need to notice that we're speaking
about these three aspects first in
creation and then speaking about these
three aspects next in regards to the
creation of the Mishkan when the
measures places the same aspect in
regards to two different topics or
seeming different topics it is equating
those two topics so from here we see the
measure she is showing us that the
creation of the world parallels the
creation of the Mishkan schneller Amalia
is a real killer Kim hak Mabus wound up
with us in regards of a salver says that
God filled him up with the Spirit of God
with wisdom with understanding and with
applied wisdom with applied knowledge
okay random by the way what is that they
have applied knowledge that means that
it's it's one thing to have an
intellectual understanding of things but
to see how it actually applies to have
an intimate understanding where das
always has to do with intimate something
knowing something intimately right like
the tire uses the word das in regards to
marital relations between ottoman cava
Adam and his wife
because there's an intimacy that occurs
that there's a back-and-forth
there's a relationship that's being
formed in an intimate way that's called
das das is where you understand
something intimately that's why I refer
to it as applied wisdom because it's not
just knowing things intellectually it's
it's actually having hands-on experience
of that knowledge so these three things
you have the thought Hockman the beam
are kind of the thoughts you know the
dots is where it comes down into action
where it comes down into being applied
that's true in the creation of the world
and it's true in the creation of the
Mishkan
that was the understanding that Petzl
had such the worm halle-loo nimnim a
humming douche there's another place
where we see a creation just like an
Amishman
just like an original creation and that
is in the building of the temple Shamar
is the versus venetie
Amano who might a Naphtali we got my
buddy Molly's a hakama best at fooling
us had us in referring to the one who
would build the pet the temple building
me something - he was also filled with
Mabini and dass so as we're reading
this we need to understand what is the
connection was the idea that the base
home English and the Michigan are
connected or parallel create the
creation of the world and we see that
hokhmah bina and dass we're not speaking
about cancer here we spoken about cancer
before Cassie refers to something which
is above the intellect which is higher
then it's just supernatural here we have
the thoughts and the applied wisdom
where we're taking something which is
much higher than us and we're bringing
it down and we are creating something
with that knowledge it becomes applied
okay Shawn creates the world the world
is real it's something that we now exist
within to be some English also has this
aspect we need to understand what is the
idea here
what is what's going on here what's the
what's the essence of what we're saying
if gain the measures tells us that not
only is this true in regard to the
mission in regards to the temple when a
sham in the future Yamanaka the sparkle
of noisy lots of lovely and if you shoot
a man a sham is going to build the third
base I mean gosh the final temple Hashem
himself is going to build it with our
money
no it shall be built with these three
aspects remember as the verses and
proverbs chapter 24 verse 3 bahamani
barnett bias the verse is referring to
the bias the house which is going to be
built it's not going to be built by a
human being it's going to be built on
its own so to speak by God which we also
need to understand Donna I believe is
related with this idea that the the
third base some English is going to be
built by God himself so here two uses
word karma the wisdom movie swooner
understanding yes going on it will be
established save and in the next verse
it says but that's Kaduri me model and
with applied wisdom the rooms shall be
filled the rooms of the temple okay so
we have this idea we need to understand
what's going on here and I'd like to
read a bit further the major issue
there's a few more interesting and
important pieces here and let's see the
next piece I'm actually going to skip a
section which speaks about Yahshua and
it speaks about other individuals who
had this also they're important but I
don't have enough time to read
everything so I'd like to skip back or
skip forward really and come back to
with Solow the Baraka car washing
machine another thing another aspect of
what's going on here and here we see
here we begin to see the essence of what
we're saying car washing machine you see
that Hashem has called in the name of
it's all our dough Davina and I see
Bourassa carwash Zavitz al the verse
says in Isaiah chapter 54 verse 16 I
behold I have created a craftsman the
verse is saying Shem is saying God is
speaking and saying I have created the
ability for this artisan it's a
reference to bits al but Saul was the
artisan who created the Mishkan the fish
the ish peckham and here's also
something very essential first of all we
see that bits Allah is infused with
godliness
it's Hashem who called out in who gave
him this talent so it's a Shem at the
essence of what he's doing is really a
shown working through him
second point in this next section of the
mentorship that Claudius rubbish the
Jewish people sin with fire she never
actually came about
I say legalize there they threw the gold
into the fire and out came the golden
calf Bob it's a theory via San Marco
okay so but Sal is coming with the with
the construction of the Michigan he's
coming to cure the problem to cure the
wound that was created when the Jewish
people sinned with with the hata eagle
with the sin of the golden calf so but
who is it is it him is it somebody else
is that Cooper who working through him
like we said mashallah tell me the show
Rafi this is analogous is the measure to
the student of a doctor shinno sandra
Tia Alma Kaka's he was he was an intern
and what did he do he put a bandage on a
particular wound venice wrap was and the
wound was healed while you Mikasa niceiy
and everyone was saying wow what an
amazing young doctor Robert Laham Robley
cazuli Schliemann Atif
so the master the doctor who was he was
apprenticed with said don't give praise
to my student give praise to me I was
the one who taught him cockney yokel
aramid sal become a service who knows I
was as I mentioned every was saying in a
similar way
Wow but sal with his awesome wisdom was
able to create the Mishkan oracle -
Burcu God says anyhoo shibaura Steve I'm
the one who created him with him
additive and I taught him she never any
Annika Barassi koresh behold I know one
who creates the artisan if you look on
my Shahrukh Arash am ashaming that's why
Moses when speaking about wood Sal says
see behold
Hashem is called in the name of it Sal
who is the one who designated with Sal
who's the one gave him the ability to
give him wisdom the artisanship
it's a Kaddish for who it's God himself
the power comes from God and I would
venture to say I'm just thinking as I'm
reading it seems clear from the measure
that when when they sinned
thus in part of the sin was that they
separated themselves from God they saw
something when they looked as them a
fortune speak about
they saw by the key circo voador why the
throne of God's glory when they had the
revelation at Mount Sinai they saw that
there were angels and as the number
describes in Ezekiel so the the phantom
have four different sides to their faces
one of the sides is an ox
so they saw that ox and when they saw
the eagle the calf came out so they
started to worship the calf as something
separate from God not as an angel as a
messenger of God as a powerful beast
which serves mankind and is a Messenger
of God so to speak but rather as
something separate they saw him as
something they saw the Ox is something
separately so the eagle is something
they said al-hafiz wrong they separate
us the fundamental mistake of idolatry
is separating from God and saying that
there's something besides for God and
then those that serve God or those who
are the vehicles of God have their own
power so when it came to bits Allah and
people started to make a similar mistake
in a cell but Salah has power but Salah
has wisdom he has the artistry I
should've said ho ho watch out this is
where you must recognize and remember
and this is part of the Kappa the
atonement of the Mishkan Khepera
of the Haida Eagle the atonement for the
sin of the golden calf is recognition
that where does it come from where does
the power come from where does the
artisanship come from where is the
beauty come from it comes from God it's
rooted in God that's where it comes from
okay so this is it's a return when we
spoke about this idea in the past but
this is a return it bringing back to
whom is the source of the power the
source of the power is Hashem it's
Allah's power that he has is God's power
hokhmah beam of adass the wisdom the
understanding the applied reason that we
see it's rooted in God it's rooted in
something above something much higher
Devereux out there
one more point in the metric very
beautiful point and very fundamental
point which connects to what we're
saying rule carwash I'm ashamed itself
the verse says see that God has called
out in the name of it's all high though
the sieve the meadows
something which is puzzling arapaima she
was alive even Adama this is what it
means in the verse 1 it says I shall
cure their waywardness I will love them
for nothing I will love them
unconditionally God says verse in Isaiah
chapter 14 verse 5 max Elam Allah what
is the verse tellus over here above have
you been a stone a devilish M the Jewish
people when it came to the building of
the Michigan so the Jewish people
brought a tremendous amount of donations
for the construction on the Michigan
they brought their silver and their gold
etc yahaha Rho a vaca crew chromium
itself then the verse tells us that God
has called her in the name of it's all L
acacia also a eagle
all right who who doing it is it an
adobe is there on behalf of them who's
bringing who's who's the ones were many
people that were involved in the
construction was it but Salah was it all
of the people like a shot away go
America - whoohoo dementia when they
made the Golden Cap God said to Moses
vitani holy son said I want to destroy
them I wanna be there since she asked us
Amishman
so Hashem said check them out I want you
okay so you tell me not to destroy them
you're asking on their behalf that they
be saved
let's let's see what happens when it
comes to making the Michigan Maxie voice
a cow Cola what does it say in the in
regards to the the thing that they did
wrong when I came to the my side eagle
serving idolatry para Cooney's me Azov
my veganism and they brought all of the
the earrings and the nose rings etc they
brought these things sha tsui Amishman
asana Davao and originally what happened
very interesting the magic points out
that originally when it came to bringing
all the gold in the silver I'm sorry the
gold for the Maya a goal for the golden
calf
so ayran instructed them to bring the
gold and they listened to the
instruction when it came to the mystery
own kitchen also a Michigan also Santa
Dava they did it on their own the
brother of their own accord muxu :
they review aquanetta bas bahu Mo's the
Nizam of kata vanna's ominous rattle hem
an amazing thing originally the sin of
the golden calf was done with these very
earrings nose rings etc these are the
very things which they came in the
appeased God would they show that they
had repented the original thing had been
done because they were commanded to
bring the gold here they're bringing the
gold of their own accord that's a much
deeper level and was also done very you
know like think about what is the idea
of it being done of their own accord why
why did they do it of course it was an
opportunity but they did it of their own
accord it was an endeavor and the dava
means that it was something that they
did from you know with beneficence with
with open giving not because they were
forced to not because they were even
asked to rakesh service idea Shia I
remember come on
lemme at em the Hosea tells us what God
says in response to this that in place
of the statement that you are no longer
my nation that God says when you're not
doing my will you are no longer my
nation
yeah I'm Errol ahem been a yokai you
will be referred to as the sons of the
Living God
what's the idea here what's going on
here my mention of necklace for Lucas
after he's sure I said to vocally
micarta Kamisha Bubba Sean's happens
ashore we find that if someone steals an
ox
so he has to be four to five times the
value of that ox as a payment if he's
done certain things with it if you sold
it if he slaughtered it
I rebuke Aisha Hoffman isn't of us I'll
give Akuma's so the Jewish people had
stolen the ox so to speak
they had detached that which they saw up
in the heavens they had taken as this is
am unfortunate speak about as I said
before they had taken the Ox from the
heavens that they saw as part of one of
the angels they brought it down they
disconnected it from God and they
worshiped it they slaughtered it they
cut it off now what do they have to do
they came and they they paid back for
that to feed back five times instead of
just the nizam him the original one time
of bringing those knows
rings the earrings whatever the verse
tells us that big did it five times
there are five different types of nose
rings five different types of earrings
five different types of a gilliam now
there's a few points here one is we see
that they're doing chuhwa they're
repenting they are doing it of their own
accord and also such thing what is the
idea of these nose rings what is the
idea of these earrings what is the depth
of the fact that that's what they were
bringing that's the what was the idea
and I think that there's a beautiful
thing a depth a beautiful deep idea
that's being brought here the the nose
ring the earring is round it's round and
or you can have like you could have
something which is not round right but
an aggie love something which is round
but it's also pointed out here that it's
round when you stick it in the hole
right there it's the the piece that goes
into the hole is also round that's how
it sticks into the ear 1s idea of
roundness or what does idea of a circle
what is idea of an ideal which is a
round earring the idea is that it's a
circle it returns there's no beginning
point no end point it's it's a circle is
round and in in a certain sense what's
happening here is there's a return to
source that's what I see here we said
there's a return to sources a chuva
there's a repentance they're doing it of
their own accord means that there's
something inside of them motivating them
to to give it on their own it's not
coming because they're asked to there's
no outside motivation right return to
source means and that's the roundness
that's the circles returns of sources
returning to what I am at by at my
essence that's what chuhwa is it's
repentance is the the Manish is teaching
us that that we are going back to source
here we are going back to the original
state of things we're going back to the
place we were before when I should
originally created the world the Mishkan
has returned to the way it was before
Adam sinned the Mishkan is a place of
return before the Jewish people sin with
haida ago and even the way that it's
created is how it's not good Sal it's
not him doing it there's no separation
from source it all goes back to the
source it all goes back to Hashem
filling him with Rua hakama
Nevada's and that's how it was with the
temple to be some English which was a
place where we returned to the original
place original source it's on the moat
it's on the it's on the Hara bias the
very place where where other my region
was created very place where all of
reality was drawn from from the venecia
it's the very same wisdom which is
connected to source now kodesh Berkeley
to God which gives us the final temple
which gives us the base image Ashley she
how is it built by God himself through
hokhmah B Nevada the very same aspects
which represent us a manifestation in
this world of something which goes back
to the source that could have spoken to
God himself and how is it represented
it's represented by there was a mistake
that was made when they said that my
source is the is the shore is the eagle
is the golden calf that they brought
there they brought there in his own
their ideal him to create that golden
calf and said that's the source and
that's where it stops
that's called clicks it's been anteus
that's where we disconnect from the root
the Nadav a-- that they brought the the
pure clean from their own accord
attached a source from who they s the
essence of who they are that is the
thing that's that that's atoning for it
and it's done five times the power of
goodness is so much greater than the
power of sin the power of attaching to
source when it comes in when we
recognize that everything is from a Shem
it's so much greater so much deeper than
anything that we can accomplish when we
detach from my shams I want to bless you
and ask you to bless me a Shem should
help us to recognize in our lives that
he is the source of all of our talents
all of our ideas of all of our success
everything that goes on in our lives
that we that we have to Hashem should
offer us to recognize it and appreciate
it and recognize what the source is
National should help us when we've
detached from that to reconnect to that
and to do it in a way which is just the
essence of who we are that nodosa that
that giving with all of our heart some
should help
to always return to him to recognize
that everything that we have ultimately
is his and is his inspiration in our
lives
