Maharal Parshas Vayikrah 2026 with Rabbi Simcha Bunim Berger

Okay, good evening. I get shabas. Today was a day of rashi brings in parasi the eighth day eth day. What eighth day we're referring to? Let's go to rashi for a minute. Who? This is This happens to be a Garan Shabas. For the background of tonight's moral, let's read the Garan Shabas and try to get a little bit of an insight of what the kadusha of meaning is and what it kicks off in this month of Niss. Listen to the following. says it was the first day of the second year. The first day of the second year on that day there were 10 crowns. I'm reading the as an introduction to the marshine. It was the first day. What was special was it was a shine. The first day of creation reshum. It was the first day that brought a carbon reshun. It was the first day that a kayen went to work. Khanim beganov started on this day that year. Reshine la. If it was the first day of the inauguration of kahan was also their first day of service of avoid reshine the minashim fire from heaven which subsequently when there was a bikto there would be fire coming from heaven but this was the first time which represents a connection of heaven and earth. Instead of rain coming down, fire came down to consume the carbon. It was the first day and the first time that aid, a person could eat the holy food of the misbeh. It was the first day that the rested in this world was the first time that they had and from that time and on they couldn't just have bums anywhere and and the first day of the the Marsha says the number 10 which is a spiritual and haligan number can the 10 spherus. Each one of these represent another one of those spherus. And how does the tyra refer to this day? It's called yom hashi y hashmini. There is obviously a connection between this and that has right that was also for so the in shabiml where he discusses the Indian of talks about the mishk and this So in your there's going to be pieces but we're going to start with this piece where it says okay we'll start from here send here there's one for you right over there it has your name on it the Va of the Mishkin. When the Aisha told Clausro to build the Mishkin, we talked about this earlier in the winter. It took them six weeks from a from three days after Yum Kipper when they were given the instructions and they were told right away the next day, build a Mishkin. Everything was on hold during the summer. after they made the ael there was no mishkan being built. Whether it's like the sheita of the ramban that the mishkin was always supposed to be there. Whether it was the sheet of rashi that it only came after there was no mishk. But when hashem gave misha and claus gave claus a second chance and he came down with the kipper. Now the aish said make a mishk. It took them six weeks. Why for almost three months? Why did it wait three months till he actually told to build it? The the had parallel to the bria of the belt. You should know that the Mishkan had in it the same. It was a capsule. It was a miniature of the And that's why he says It was the abisher had like it says on the first day that's what was created on that day. It was appropriate to create the Mishkan on the day that the Aish said because the Mishkan itself was a mim to hold. Which R was the Mishkan holding? The Tyra mitzvah R. What's the name of the box? >> That's what that >> the or that was given after noon 50 days. >> The is the that after the that was given after noon that holds the tyra. So therefore, therefore, this is underlined. The creation of the Mishk was like the creation of the world. The as the Gimar in Russ says there are two opinions as to when the world was created. either was or right and what do you know about this loser was connected 10 but the mak I mean we said bas is recreating the world to show he owns it >> you're saying all of was the first day creation or >> but by tish you say it's like the sixth Right? Steve is asking good. So the terret says like this today was the creation. Right? Right. Today was the day that said right and he made manus. Before I get to that resolves the between Yeshua of whether the Tyra was create where the world was created in Niss says one is and one is in the Niss was the and was the >> So why do we >> because we have two beginnings. We have two beginnings. one like this. We This is also this is your beginning. And that means as saying was physically created on that day. Do you know what the capacity of man is? Kazal say we mentioned it many times. Rashi says in when he created Adam he needed to fix the Bria. What was wrong on day one? There was no day. No, it was it wasn't shayim and it wasn't. It was just light. There was no heaven and there was no separation. Right on day two he separated. Right. So day number two created shayim. Day number three. Day number three the earth was a a pula in the earth. Day number four was that's shay. Day number five was out of the water came there was fish and from the water came the birds. It was a bria from the by the time day six comes along says rashi there is an imbalance in creation there's been two days of shamayim that's sheni and rai two days of kamishi if he makes only orets the earth will have an imbalance of more days of earth if he make there'll be three to two shay and I mean it should be a equal balance the men is the goof from the and the from so he combined in the the balance of the That this day carries a tikun of the brio that parallels the it parallels meaning the mishk which is created onesh the same day that was created right it's that yash meaning so it's not the of the of voracious even though the maral says on the one hand it was a yish It was one of it was a of the week but it was also the sixth day of creation. Okay. So it had both of those. So there was of it wasn't the in other words the of of of which was six days earlier in the Bria that was that but this Mishkan was on a Sunday. Okay that was on a Sunday. So that day had that crown of bri says the of the world is when everything that has been in the ground for the winter now springs forth. It was around from to be now built. The beginning of light is the beginning of when the world is created. Do you know when light really starts to be creation created in the cycle of the world? When does light emerge? says the moral of fascinating. Why? Because he says there's two times in the world when we are exactly equal amount of day and night. One is in the fall and one is in the spring. If the world was created, if the first day of light was right, so that's when it was equal and the day became smaller. So you have to divide the world into four right each the in a circle the light is equal and then it goes down the days become shorter and there's less and less light and the nights become longer until you get to the shortest night of the year 3 months in a 12 month cycle if it's 5050 on hey l and it's 5050 When will it be the maximum and when will it be the minimum? Well, the maximum will be 3 months later in the summer, right? Because in a 12 month cycle, you're dividing the world into fours. So the sunlight is equal. So then you have you'll have the longest night of the year June 21st June 22nd which on that year the calendar is in our calendar that's so what's the shortest night of the year? The shortest night of the year would be three months after it becomes middle again which is three months after So is the shortest night and then the days start to become bigger. So more comes to the world. That's why on that night when the nest of kaneka happened it happened it was a bria of which parallels the bria of in this world and for 8 days that we connect that r was in the bria in other words there was an infusion in the bria of a he r of a higher r that was the r of the minra that came which was in sync to a the world of the light of the sun. Yashi yashi represents says the maral this man that goes above and beyond the seven days of the bria. The Bria goes up till a certain amount 7 days really you should start counting again cuz after shabas comes Sunday that's the bri of the world thanks to a higher reality which is that you can live your life on a higher da we have the of counting. So if you go back to the beginning of I'm going back to this first paragraph where it says so there was a light. It came from a p a a a pan that had a stamp on it from a person who could go someplace where no one else can go which is and where does he goes the kadoshim had something fascinating about it. What was interesting and fascinating about the kadesh kadashim, it was not limited to time and space. The urin that was in there had certain dimensions. They built the room in a way that the urin shouldn't fit and they put it in there anyway. Which means that the laws of physics, the laws of did not were not governed in the keshim in their it was a piece of heaven, right? We always explain we say the concept of you know what an embassy is an embassy is a a mim it's a place from a different country in a different country when you need a passport and you you can only make passports an American passport a Brit has to be you have to be in America to make an American passport. So how could the embassy make a passport? The terror says cuz their lumb this is when you come to our place you're in America. You cross the border. You're now in America. When you go into an embassy you're not in that. That's why they say if you if one country attacks an embassy it's an act of war because you're attacking that country cuz their mo that's the area of the was the embassy of in this world when you entered the you entered a place that was not bound by time and place it was a area that is not which it was a mo So that mo of like we said is the is the box that holds the which is called that was given in 50 days 50 is at like as it says in the so that of the god that had and came from a m of says the mar It's underlined is always guided by the number seven comes right Sheba is the days of the week and is one madrega higher. When a ye becomes aided, he only gets his personality, his name, his essence. When he gets his which is when he's born with a foreskin. The of the world creates a man that does not have the always a person who's means he has the power of separating himself. Right? That's the of a briso. That's the of like we say bris is gimatri 612. It's one mitzvah that slepts all 612 mitzvah with it. With this one mitzvah you became a yeided and with this mid you now have all 613 commandments. So the bris which equals 612. But when do you do it? You can't do it before the eighth day. It won't work. You might cut off the foreskin, but you didn't make a briso. And if you cut it off too early, you have to do a tough dam. It didn't work. So the mah and the mitas of a yei on that where a person was fused from heaven and earth. That's when that's the that's appropriate for me. And that's this man that's appropriate for and that's the day of the 10 crowns when this world like we start in the Gmorra Shabas which we began tonight this world fused together an is coming down to eat up the carbonaph begins Today it's the day of all of the all of the crowds connected every had a crown when the Mishkan was built. How is a person going to go toes? A place that's That's why he goes into that's why that's what's there and therefore when the rep today's day that we celebrated is the yashi it's the year that the day that the ba to an picks itself up. It happened then. Nope. Says the in two places in Arabic and in that the and the of the Mishk has never left us. The of the is like we said in our that when we get together as a minion when we learn the comes here we have we're in a we're learns and he davs and there's a group of Eden together that's doing that the is there you're in a mode you're in a you're in a massive of that's why the says that they themselves are going to be they're going to be called it's I believe good they're going to be called that's Right. It's bas because we infuse within us we bring upon us something which is that's of the what day did that happen? When did that happen? The same way on of an individual level we get a bris. So too when you one day every day by us take out a safer read the today every day nobody says anymore. Why not? Because the nian were bringing carbon st the Mishkan is still with us. The Mishk still has a hash in it never left the of the that there's a within us and we never lost that. It's even a source of celebration. That's the of the So today we kicked off another cycle that picked themselves up to be able to be where the can come down to this world and we could be. So you have to take advantage of the fusion that gives us like we said in our with special you get up in the morning I'm I'm going to say something say that you have to learn even from sometimes even anybody who ever went to a sporting event >> anybody ever went to sporting or saw how the fans always we're going to use take a let's make noise. Lance they they cheer on their team and it gives a gives energy and you gish and you d with it gives energy to all the people are in the when you go into let's make noise you make noise and with a passion the whole from them all gets gets woken up from not to say it in the whisper. >> That's what he said. That's right. We're talking about we're talking about that person. It's infectious. Other people pick up on that and they dab in the same way too. And they get into their it makes a difference. I learned that from them. When you come into Davin, you're not you're not just a spectator. You're not just sitting there at the and you're just watching. No, you get involved. You make noise. It gives energy and you could take from and bring it to the side of the and use what they use for their things we can use for our things. So to be mazic with the the still here and take advantage of the This cab burn.
