Home2Torah Fundamental Foundation of the Torah Rabbi Poston Trumah

[Music] welcome everybody now we're going to be dealing with Varsha trauma which is found in Exodus chapter 25 verse 2 we all know that trauma is mentioned three times in the first two three verses here and we have a custom based on remembering what was done in the temple the temple times we had to offer it was a gift the word true pi as a gift we had to offer every year at this time of the year today's Rosh Chodesh Aadhaar we just had our shots coming where the announcement was basically made that other is coming and we read partial Chicago to remind us that this month we're collecting the half shekel towards the communal offerings when I mean communal offerings I mean the daily offerings the incense the moose off the additional offerings on Shabbat the holidays what happens is if every June gives half a shekel by the 1st of Nisan that's the new financial year so then every Corbyn every offering that is brought up on a communal offering I mean if I had to bring my own sin offering or Thanksgiving offering that's from my pocket but this these offerings are bought the communal offerings are brought from this Kupa from the collection that was made during this month so how's it done so remember Erika's house is bigger than just Jerusalem but it has to come to Jerusalem too but to be put into the bank account of the temple so what did we do we set up these tables first we made the announcements on Rosh Chodesh every shul every community mission municipality had a tax collector it's a tax and he would set up a booth or table and people would register and put in their half shekel half chef's was about eleven dollars but it's based on the pond solar so it so goes up and down so they give the money and anybody didn't give the money comes to head the second half of the month the day after pouring then the tax collectors go knocking on doors this is very important for us to know this because we're going to be discussing this for the next hour to half at least and they could force you right it's a Ted tax that was forced now the first time we gave this Trueba there were three half seconds I should say that we as a custom gives three half checkers and we give it on the fest of Esther which is the day before pork now in this chapter and Trueba there were two half shekels and the third was not a evaluated on any financial level so the two half shekels were obligatory and I should I forgot to bring okay the first of these three offerings the first of the two shekels was used for the domain for the sockets that the the planks the planks of the wood the planks of wood had two feet in other words was carved in and these sockets had two holes but don't be mistaken those those planks with the two holes didn't go directly into that socket only one of the feet went into one of the sockets and then the next plank had one of the two feet go to that so then you built this wall that surrounded the the courtyard of the tabernacle and the tabernacle itself was basically a tent we had these coverings but what was holding the coverings up were these planks so basically these sockets were heavy silver and they served as a foundation for the plants to be very off point number two the second half shekel was used for the communal offerings and the third offered the third Trula which was not based on the half shekel system was a free will offering to give whatever you wanted of these thirteen specific items or materials that are listed in verse three four five and six and seven okay those verses so obviously if you gave some wool is different than linen and different than gold and different than a diamond in different types of precious gems it's whatever you want but the second was always evaluated on the value of of the silver and everybody gave exactly the same whether you were rich or poor those first two were equal didn't matter was eleven dollars forever is and the third one was from your wealth you know you had a net surplus of one of these items and you wanted to donate more you were certainly able to okay so the first question of the clear card brings up is based on the fact that we do know that three true mouths are mentioned in our partial so you several questions the first question is Lama yah hey stay true mostly show nose Ellison is Rob why are the first to somehow relate it to God and the third one is related to the giver now let me explain the first one says take me and offer this God speaking the equally so God is somehow related to the offering and the second one is typically at true mighty take my true mom so somehow God is equated not equated somehow in the equation and related to this true because he's putting his name on it's his in both of these fashions the third time it's mentioned it says you shall take the trauma from them so it's theirs it's the giver okay now we're going to go through five really and I think they're complicated questions if you don't know the text and real simple if you do so as you now can look at the text so read the text together and I show sure right a chef spoke to Moses saying speak to the children of Israel and let them take for me up worship we're gonna ask a question so why is this words from every man whose heart motivates him in between portion one portion two but anyway portion two is you shall take my portion and then the third this is the portion you shall take from them so you notice in the first two it's Lee it's T but it's God speaking it's mine my portion and the third one I'll take your portion okay that's the first question that fathers in remember I'm gonna say this red one is listening to the first time the questions are there to make us think there's an anomaly there's something unusual you tell the story why are you repeating it if it's been repeated there's some nuance to something new there's this there's such a heavy story here that is remember God spoke the world came into being every letter every nuance there's there's it's like infinite it's infinite it's the motive that yeah infinite wisdom okay number two the second question now if you notice there's like a word called the portion call that now right and then there's a pronoun so you have I'm sorry you have like the idea that this why did the first two portions thank language of taking before the language of portion okay so taking that's the verb right you shall take and then there's what you're taking so in the first two true mode that are mentioned it's the the concept of taking comes before the word or the noun so the verb comes before the noun in the first two portions right you say take for me a portion and the second is you take my portion but in the third in the third one it says this is the portion that you shall take so why what's going on okay this is not bothering you yet but I'm telling you by the time you finish these five questions you're not gonna sleep tonight if you don't get to hear all the answers number three as I mentioned those words from every person whose heart inspires into generosity it's only the third one that is actually a free will gift the first two rabid Ettore so why does why do those words from every man whose heart motivates an in-between true the number one and true the number two it should be connected to the third meaning it could be right before right after the third Trula but it should be related to the third trailer but it's interrupted by its it's in between the number one number two so this really brings on the I just wanna read when I wrote here how can the phrase from every person whose heart inspires into generosity may ethically shochet give the venue libo be inserted between the first two portions which was an obligated head tax which is a couplet that coming upon every Israeli man who paid these taxes whose counted that doesn't really mean who's counting in God's eyes who whose counsel to pay the taxes whose counted to go out to work the males between the age of 20 and 60 those are the ones who contributed those are the ones who out to war okay I just wanted to feel that you guys in with that but anyway this the first true portions are not at all dependent on the generous heart of the giver it's only the third portion which mentions all of those thirteen ingredients or materials that are used okay no but slavery in Hebrew I should have nothing to read any of these in Hebrew because it's gonna take too long number three why is the third portion why in the third portion the language of taking mentioned at all if once we already decide that the third portion is the free will give right it's been decided by God but we understand the third portion was a free will gift then how is the word keep of taking possible it should be giving okay which in first a force taking whereas a generous offering comes voluntary which is not forced okay now here's a little bit tricky and this is deep dual zone of a language for those to take hold on I have taken offline or need to take a whole platter the first portion mentions the word they get clue we're at whereas the second to have a language of to okay what's the difference sounds like we're dead picking here God created the language he's the great greatest grammarian of repetition and with he knows the language he created it so the word Tico is you take we already saw in number two and three its you take but in the first one its we say let them take a portion take my portion let's down so in Hebrew is called missed are and no chaos so merriment ask your missed are is the third person he's not present really he's you're talking about him what death but two and three is you so call that second person do you know a better word for mister and milk Africa as opposed to second person in third person misters third person and no calf is set his first and second person there okay but that's but that's what's going on here okay now another introduction and we have a lot of introductions here you're not allowed to count juice you know that you come to a minion you mean 10 Jews how do you do it if you can't count Jews how do you know if you have tagged mind-boggling right so we count chairs you counts you have a verse with 10 words and you count each word and look at the people so you know this guy is that word that guys that way there's all kinds of tricks you count hats you counts it says you catch air so I mentioned so there's a this is the most authorities home once not allowed count Israelites rather they count the coins that are donated in order to save them from the evil eye so just read that in Hebrews you know I'm not making it up yangshin McLaughlin's baton Farsi a toda ta serene Sloane in new you surrounded Google at Google that's the word for a tire for a wheel is a gaga right for reincarnation is Gil go because it's recycled Google it means the skull so that's gonna called a head tax to skull tax hmm so we don't count Jews by their heads Ella skully menu we count the coins they give so everyone's going to give exactly half shekel we count it up divide it into we know I mean yeah all right thanks good times effective anyway so I know it sounds better in other words you collect and check out you know this twenty Jews okay now what does it mean to save you from the iron her off I heard a brilliant store insight from Rabbi Gladstein I listen to him regularly now what is our song okay there's gonna be really hard to explain but I'll do the best I can God is the infinite being aren't we a portion of God aren't we a part of God if we're a part of God that means it's divisible can't be divisible God is indivisible you can't divide God when you count something you're dividing it you say oh there's three parts ten parts fifty whatever it is well by not counting Jews and we know that the soul is I'm gonna say a part of God although that's not the right word but there's no other way to describe it it's an individual part of God we're recognizing that that's the reality that the soul is part of God who is individual you cannot divide him up yesterday would it be like if he filled this room with water it would touch every single thing in this room yet it would not be taken apart or divided or particular okay but I know that it would cease your this I'm just saying if Schembri down that down this is a my a minor right mindset there it sounds great okay ma'am not it's not it doesn't really help us understand this project I had that is so maybe you just missed the word developed as I was playing off that sure of ID developed it further but the a barman else says no were actually allowed to count Jews but they're a two duhkha the coin has to be given nevertheless and he uses the word sadaqa as charity but it acts as how Cofer nefesh I'll just read his words well I bought a barber Nels I think out there is that he says you can't count yama-chan it new live Gogel it's mamas you actually count you buy Scully but the company money is knit new Derrick to Bukka it's given as charity Oh code them a minion uh-huh it doesn't matter whether it was before the counting or after the counting the clay fair nefesh as an atonement atonement for the Soul and we're gonna see a verse the proofs he's right but that doesn't mean he's right about counting or not that's a whole separate issue I just want to go back to this idea of in other words how does it save you from the evil eye the evil eye cannot affect Hashem there's no way he's unaffected he's not changing so what happens is even in Jewish law I mean we just started learning Jewish law but in pushing mishpat in civil matters if somebody else looked into someone else a partner it can cause damage you look at someone's books and some of the letters you can cause damage I think in quantum fitted physics they say as long as there's no observation which obviously makes sense you can't measure anything but they talk about you can't change anything without the observation what so it observes it actually changes the the results which is absolutely crazy so we have been laws like bilham wanted to curse us he had a blessing us he talked about how modest we were that the tents were not facing each other openings of each of the tents had the door the doorway was not facing another another doorway and here in Israel and I'm probably sure in many municipalities you can't just build buildings wherever you want and have the way facing other building has to be a certain distance and then maybe it's jagged or you know the word is but it's not direct a window to another window because there is a thing matters for privacy but hezekiah damage caused by someone else looking into the privacy of whatever it is okay okay so there's an evil eye whatever that means that could affect the outcome and we talked about evil eye the thing that makes the most sense to me has to do with jealousy right work negative feelings so people send off vibrations so gonna has either an anger problem or jealousy problem or something somebody's got something going on with you with another person he's he's sending vibes and the eye has a lot of power this is something I also found that about recently that we think of the eye is only a receiver oh it's just it just takes in leg do you know that it also produces like your rear brains a 12-volt battery and your eyes now how did I discover this when I started working with we infrared nighttime casts you know how they work the infrared nighttime camera can only pick up an image because it's emitting an infrared ray is very low voltage you can barely pick it up if you're looking at but it's sending it out and it's picking up whatever image you have based on what that I works is very much the same way it goes both ways it's not only a receiver you'll also so therefore someone with negative intent or negative vibes and actually affect the physical the other physical substance all pretty young okay you gave it I get that feeling that's on my stairs oh when you don't know they were done they've done their surveys like that research you just know someone's looking at your back yeah you just know and how because if there is a zone there's ways there's ways enter consensus but it's not it's because it's actually there but interesting me and absolutely apartment now mentions that it's called Cofer nefesh and maybe just at this point just to drive that point home I think maybe just look in we will have to wait we'll get to it it's in number six in the English swishy Exodus 30 verse 15 the rich shall give no more and the poor shall gives no less than half a shekel ha uh sure a year yard man without download Yummy's me makutsi the shekel to do what the tape at Truman session to give thee with which to give the offering to the Lord what is the next words like a pair our mouth shall take them to serve as an atonement for your souls now when we count Jews we know that many plagues have come in the toe rhythm to knock and so that that's one that's one idea but we'll look at that Rashi later because that's gonna be very enlightening ok so let's go back now we're on the second Hebrew page and we're now going to start I think we're still laying the foundation the word for free offering okay we saw in the text that said they have that gate and diamond it said cocoliche I said get vendor weebo you'd better leave oh right you'd better leave oh how do you say the word free will offering so let's say you want to volunteer your admit not dead nun is part of the roots neva is a free will offering okay this word is not spelled with another get the van der liebe so he starts off by telling us this is a good place to explain that work in two very distinct different fashions you can look at it as an int of uh a really a free will offering and Rashi says if you look on the source sheet number three so it says the word you've developed can be explained two ways number one simple explanation and you can see Rashi new Java that's help spelled nun Khalidov of hey that guy sorry nun dollar bet a as an expression of goodwill okay does anybody know French at the Karen knows French Karen okay listen to this Rashi knew old French many times we need Rashi and he's translating for us he tells us what it is about French he says you know what the word madaba means an old french present present which means again a gift saying what if you didn't learn anything tonight you learned one new old French word I don't know if they still use that word I know that Americans English okay so that's one way so everything we're learning about a free will offering is a gift great everything is like smooth but guess what it doesn't end there it can also mean the complete opposite whoa how can that be the complete opposite he says they can't because the very fact that the word yet Deven it was not spelled with a nun and we also have another general rule there's certain letters that are interchangeable hmm so the bats without a dot has a soft sound what does it sound like avi right of that as we call the vet is a vet and the vet and above the bet without the dot the vet and the valve are interchangeable so it would spell out without that none a word called of that and the man he's not so willing meaning painful you ever give and it was painful to give okay nobody wants to admit it okay this is this is a tax in okay so remember we asked why is the these words the freewill offering in between number one number two shouldn't it be number three three visits freewill offering see says we know by the first two everyone agrees to total totally obligated on everybody and even if he didn't want to give he was forced to give now we have these things called tax collectors the gabbai the goodbye Eve are that the sextons of the ten of the tempo of the bacon s and a shul somebody has to run at the administrators and therefore not only the sweeping the floors and taking the garbage out but then also take collecting the taxes and they could take it take it hear the word right first now we understand why the word taking comes before the word Trula in the first two cases because they were obligated I'll be the authority taxes and they were able to be taken and guess what they were only given the they were allocated the ovulation yarmulke bilingual three men about Clark uh double withdrawn that's like the motivation for the giving because there were tax collectors and therefore it's the tax collection themselves that are really the cost for the giving so it's to keep up it's the taking that brings about the giving but when it came to the third which is a total freewill offering and it wasn't obligated at all so even if someone didn't want to give nobody can force them that's why the word giving comes before the word taking whether the true love the gift comes before taking but we still ask me why just taking there all it still doesn't make sense I mean it makes sense so father you got to put it first but what do you need it at all therefore so you can see something absolutely brilliant I mean I just think it blown away by this stuff yes once you put your seat belt on for a second and after I finish the next five lines I want you to tell me if you're still thinking the same my line of thought and then you could fill the black suit to explain what it was you were thinking he says that after somebody it's a three month offering he decides in his mind what he wants to give and he makes a pledge totally out of his own free will once he makes a pledge and verbalizes that pledge the tax collectors can force him to pay up what he already pledged and they can do it persuasively with their voices war with the strong arm of the law and that's what it means what it says though touch through my meetha meetha this is the Trula that you take from them after they already made the pledge then you take it from them with the strong arm because between the time they made the pledge until the time the pledges do they had what we call regret we have buyers regret you can have a pledge regret correct yeah okay you have pledged regret but if you made a pledge and then all of a sudden the stock market started taking down you're not sure you're able to fulfill your pledge so that's why our sorry I don't know what else could have happened but maybe your wife you got home and your wife said what yeah what what did you do I needed a new dress we have one of the tuition is going up next year the kids all need new clothes they got dental who knows whatever it were you thinking what were you thinking okay guys this is just the beginning we're just scratching the surface here man I wanted to hear what you had to say so it's not know in mind that you were thinking but I think you were onto something nevertheless I had I had three kids in the army I don't think any any of them looked at his violence here except for my son that came back from America to serve a K so they honored him unbelievable he was think they could believe that he came back you know when he was 18 he went to he's also American citizen he went to it for a year to America made a lot of money and he came back to serve in the army and I think they were saluting him I mean they were they couldn't believe they were so happy that there's back in America but it's okay they came back just to say wonderful so it should be okay so now we understand what it says speak to the children of Israel and if they should give to me the trimmer right and you're supposed to take from them the children so this is I'm gonna just read it in English and we've understand clearly let them take my portion so who's them the tax collectors let them take my portion it's the tax as you meet to a point okay so we appoint these cat tax collectors who are supposed to take the gifts the true level but what is a prerequisite for this tax collector this is like this is I mean what's going on in America I think anywhere in the world this is the way God wants us to act what does he say that before this guy could go collect taxes from anybody else he's got to pay first he's got to pay up because there's this whole idea that if you're not clean if you're not ornamented right you're you made yourself beautiful you can't make anybody else beautiful if you're clean how can you make anybody else clean right my idea is to pay out of here this who robbed me there was a situation here in Israel very recently where the certain city I wanted to shut down all the stores on Shabbat and then they had hired Jewish people to inspect on Shabbat and half a handout fines for two tickets for being an open on Shabbat this is exactly what you're talking about and so so this is very important and I'll just read in Hebrew so you get the idea so the Coghlan she'd the boat may I can read before they can make the claim for other people and you knew hey mister how come they have to give their own portion the cash 8 and outsmart - fela in order to beautify or to ornament themselves first and only afterwards are they able to take from the others now interesting because it also does of love now niku should be they you know they let them take but this evolved and let them take now the valve let them take also does what we say about biblical evil biblical hebrew the valve does what it turns it from past tense the future tense or future tense the past tense this proves they had already taken because its future tense that they shall take but know that they have to have already taken from themselves but what about when it comes to from each person who gave from his own free will his liebe was dove that dog their la mattina it ate him and paint him towards giving because he doesn't want to give from his ruts auto he's not willing to give he's a very miserly person and he's not really to give so we're concerned that he'll start fighting with the tax collector right if the guys tight fisted miserly and he he doesn't want to give anytime a tactical you're gonna do what you can to to get out of it right so what are we gonna do it says then the second one is Asti Kaku you shall take it who's that Moses in Ireland originally we're gonna send goodbye oh we have to point goodbye but they're not going to give to just any guy when you send leaders they're less likely to fight you said the president of the shul you send the rabbi you send an important person and the people and give more this is how it works okay when the president comes to your house you taught me whatever you want motion Tyrone Oh any Missy is around now the word for leaders in this CA is neat nothing we're going to examine that letter that word itself Qi Yi soo pan am by the gussy coming the the important person coming the people but you know it needs to to reflect or to mirror so when you smile in a good mood it's contagious my rabbi told me it's contagious you're out sorrow people and depressed people it's gonna affect you where you shall light or so if you bring raised up people the other people will be raised up and they won't fight with them and now we understand the words of a new as you dove the venom which is the language according to Rashi we saw that it's a they the delays a willing heart so then if we understand it that way then everything we're talking about is going on what was said before what was that the it who me who should take for me the the tax collectors should take for me the gift from each and every person yet vendor medieval liebe whose heart is motivating him but mainly Misrata so then it's they're good they're gonna they're willing and they're gonna hear it Shama Shama what it says afterwards ticket for my tea take my trainer God says that is mashallah 10 batsmen empty tofu then you yourselves are gonna have to take so it's all about two different types of givers those are willing to give and those are travelling together and if they are not willing to give then you have to actually take it yourselves because they are in the deep wave for the reasons we mentioned already above now in chapter 35 verse 5 which I think I have here ok that's later on if you look at number 5 for right now on the source sheet Exodus 35 5 take from yourselves an offering for the Lord every generous hearted person shall bring it namely the Lord's offering gold silver copper this is later on we're in chapter 25 so chapter 35 we're talking about those 13 items again and you can see clearly that this is somebody who is giving generously right : indeed lady of veal anybody who is generous of heart he's the one bringing it so you have to run with two types of people one guy feel regret so you got taken from if he's not regretful he's gonna bring it it's ready to come by itself deliberately she mommy now we do you ever hear from this she Madhab everybody should read the love of the co-ed that we're talking about in our part no it was over there Thomas on who's totally into his gift and he doesn't have any regrets over here we're talking about some in chapter 25 we're obviously talking about someone who does have a regret and that's why it says you have to take it from him the word kita yes wise taking it all mentioned by our third category so this helps you answer that but what about someone who's totally willing with his own heart bringing on his own and you don't need to force it at all and as you notice in chapter 35 5 you don't have the word let's just see I did see me English you see in the Hebrew who means true month okay so I don't know how to answer that but the Rashi says on that verse in the d-wave since his heart moved him to generosity he's called generous are as I explained the Elan forgive the Michigan in our verse that we're dealing with now okay and he says sure that have seen okay so he talks about the third number teeth of who is mentioned by the third trauma which is coming through a free will offering and yes the very much hair in buh buh there are other things that are going to be taught by the way she allowed the boy to shoot if you send very important tax collectors to the Midna death to the person's gonna give police a fake there's no doubt she ISA Pinilla we get not Devi auteur you may not agree if you don't agree with Trump's policies so you're not gonna be so happy but you know he was elected so if he comes to your business it's that day you know believe me you know you're gonna get compensated so you say whatever you want is yours okay but here in this case so you if you send the more important person the person wouldn't he Suppan and they would be uplifted they would have two accountants and they would likely give more than if you had just sent a regular Joe Smith to go collect the taxes give me x n no hugging loss in the BB Robin he says this is why we do mayor this is why we make these auctions in synagogue we actually sell honorariums batteries so not every show does it many of the outreach tools don't do it because we we understand not everyone really realizes the value of some of these ugly old and cubed beam but many times it's just when the holidays Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur they do a public auction they do it in yudish and it's got me the funniest thing right they start selling you're not buying anything right now making a pledge of public pledge and even at fundraising dinners they get people to raise their hand to take on a project so this in other words this is called peer pressure you like that tournament is open and perhaps there will be more generous okay we're learning some very deep Jewish wisdom here okay now getting back to the idea of the Bourbon now he mentioned that they also give this charity they have to give the skully the the the the half shekel and even though yes we do talk about it being obligatory nevertheless it's given this charity and that acts as a atonement for the Soul as we see that each person was given from his generous heart and we said that means real generosity and now we understand that it's going on what on both the one the trimmer' that came before and the Truman that came after it to teach you what that those two troopers are really are really ultimately dependent on the giving of the heart if it's acting as charity and it's acting as an atonement wouldn't you want it totally half a shekel it's only eleven dollars times two but the true machine which doesn't need any forcing it's a total mr. word it's a total the free gift from the heart it was a pat benatar around so yeah anyway so that's why you don't even need to mention those words remember we said why does it say from every man whose heart motivates him between number one and two family doesn't make sense because that's what it should be it's not it's an obligatory thing but it should be from your own free will where's the third one already is from your own free will and therefore it doesn't need to be said it's so obvious and you don't like that answer I can see in your eyes he I'll just read the words keep sheep the Sheep off in a double local Cobra come on near Monza but ma shake Dimitrova healthy huh it was already mentioned that the Truman comes free for the taking it's so clear the third one is a free will offering you don't need to mention it but the first tube which are obligatory you need to mention it because that's how it's supposed to be okay we're getting we're getting somewhere now right good it's getting better just wait now according to the those first two trueness we already know yes they're obligatory and they act as an atonement and that's what I want you to look at chapter 30 verse I think it's 15 that's number six we even though we looked at it we're gonna look at the rations will be cleared more carefully the ritual not kids more the poor shall not give less than half a shekel with which to give the offering to the Lord to atone for your souls this is acting as an atonement giving money is going to atone for your soul it's like a Twilight Zone I mean you probably read the you guys read these verses of million times and how do you have you got caught up in different things I don't know right I mean okay so listen you rush to atone for your souls that they should not be struck by a plague because of the council that's one explanation another explanation you're going to go through what we just pretty much talked about what does it mean to atone for yourselves it was written because God hinted to them they were going to make these three offerings one an offering to the Lord the meaning they the word true is written there three times the first represents and we're going to discuss it in detail is the sockets from the Michigan that's the Adomian that's the sockets where the planks of wood go into Moses counted them meaning counted the half shekels when they convention to donations within Michigan everyone gave half a shekel and it amounted to one hundred balance as the verse says in Exodus 38 25 and the silver of the community census that seven to the census was 100 talents and the sockets were made from this as the verse says in 38 verse 27 okay that's the first the second Trula was collected also through counting and that's the one that's done every year because once you have the sockets and you have all the materials that's done deal it's this middle one that we do every year but we give three half shekels as a remembrance for hopefully the basic dish will be rebuilt soon eggs with the coming okay that was a prayer and a Yelp for the coming of the Messiah and the building of our temple and the I should add the this is the most of I should say it's the most important one but it feels like it is for the the ink gathering of all brothers and sisters okay so the second offering was counted after the Michigan was erected and we counted the people right that's how we counted the people look at numbers 1-1 there's a census every one game and what's useful for the purchase of communal sacrifices the rich and poor were equal they gave equally okay cannot concerning that second one we're we're good what are we giving you for we're giving it for the communal offerings to atone for your souls because the sacrifices are brought for the purpose of atonement this is not individual atonement this is not because I send first of all you should know that if I send only it inadvertently so I bring a sin offering if I send on purpose there's nothing no offering I'm forbidden they will not take an offering it's only repentance and only these blood sacrifices only come because of accidental sins but you know but these were likes which is an accidental said to be nothing for that you don't bring offering crap so that's the accidental now there's a difference because if we're talking about show gig it's not accidental but we will get into it for sure and the third one that was used to build the Michigan whoever set aside an offering of silver copper you see that exodus 3524 not everyone gave the same amount but each gave would ever have his heart inspired together okay so that was like a nice little what's the word recap but if you go down to ezekiel 18:4 which is number seven on your source sheet what does god say behold all souls are lying like the soul of the father like the soul of the son they are mine okay discussants gonna get the idea but we're all part of God you can't count you can't divide God up and only then you're allowing the evil eye because it's a part if the whole thing is damaging it's like it's setting your whole reality in in a false reality and therefore sin and the negative forces can take root but when you're embedded in God in the Holy One nothing can harm you you're saying so anyway our souls are part of God all songs are mine like the soul of the father like the soul of the son they are mine and what is this whole idea of giving the half shekel it's the kindness of God if he loves us so much it's the curse of God that he takes from us the coin instead of or in exchange for our slope that's why it says in the first thing beautifully what did we say we say take let them take for me a portion and in the second one is true Matty my portion God already calls it my portion the second one and we're dealing with that aspect in the second one because the name of God is called upon it upon that portion when it comes to the third one which is not obligatory at all it doesn't relate to a shadow it relates to the person giving it as it says this is the Trula that you should take from that it's totally dependent on them that's what your it says you're going to take it from them but it's not from a Shem that low mace Hashem highnesses escoba it's not even now it's not even obligatory he says now it makes the most sense for me to say what I'm about to tell you there another reason why the first to true must relate to God and not the third since every place you have these could get there another the status of humility wherever you have the status of humility and a half na na means subject him and being subjected to a share amongst human beings in this world there you have the strength of God this is very this is a very fundamental because weird where does the divine presence dwell he dwells with the the meek and the downtrodden of any place that you have haughtiness God doesn't want to put his name with that person therefore the 2 trimmers that come in the beginning then there was the hand of everybody everybody's equal on that remember the first two troops have God's name on it and then we'll repeat nobody is putting themselves above anyone else that says that the rich cannot give more and the poor cannot give less as we see in chapter 30 verse cuz you read already they become a shouldn't cut there's no place for one person to glorify himself and to place himself above another human being much by saying what my true but the one the gift that I gave was better or greater than your gift if I could sing that well that first was a very disgusting thing to say it's a bite that leaves my gift my whole being my soul is better than your soul thank you I mean gosh some people do hope tummies mrs. Jimmy brother but no that's why God puts his name on it the first one he says take for me this mean from my sake because word explained above him so what else he says the club my club my shirt s question me and this is in chapter 20 verse 21 Exodus chapter 20 verse 21 we did this I think last week an altar of Earth you shall take you shall make for me you so slaughter besides it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings your sheep and your cattle wherever I allow my name to be mentioned God says I will come to you and bless you he blesses you when you're when his name is mentioned his name is involved and he attaches his name is a blessing now do you remember that we said a kid is going way back months when you take the gum a tree of God's name which we know is 26 but we take each letter and make agamotto out of it in other words the word good it's a letter but it's also a word you did vote out it's 20 love love love love that is 16th that's 13 right you have hey hey olive that's six and of all the 22 letters in the alphabet there are four letters you know really three right love hey good they're the smallest of the total equation of those two notches because God yes is ultimately created the Hebrew language he made his own name the smallest of all possible letter combinations because of humility when you find the greatness of God is where you find his humility remember we're here to follow God he wants us to act godly so we have to act with humility and meekness it's called gather another that all of the the letters of God's great name teaches about together another look over there we already spoke about that and okay now he says the payment of an awesome and state through most a love diamond of chamalla again that's right the way you're making it an offering is similar to the offering itself meaning that just like everybody was equal right all the amounts are equal again he's just dressing that nobody could raise themselves up upon anyone else so to the sockets the first one is used for the sockets what are the sockets it's the lonely base that's raising the entire the building will not stand the building cannot be raised without the solid heavy piece of silver that's serving as the can we say foundation foundation if you call it a dummy wait till you hear the word that a dummy means that every a dummy are equal each to itself it's like you know they're all like cutters right made from a mold they're all the same just like the people who gave them all the same the product is all the same there's an equation between the giver and the product there's a common area now you have Tony the Cole opinion they are the bottom of the the building like the mat on the threshold that it is the assert - look hope it's the foundation of the entire building come om just like they are that's what they make me meaning the people who gave they were lowly meaning equal nobody's raising himself above anybody else and what they made from them is the same thing come on oh you seem on a double aji are you shoving minutina just like again it's a big Slough say the same the same thing lawyer shooting that God may have and nobody's allowed to raise themselves up again the word me miss Oh again we're not seeing these prints I don't want to type something else my wife and I we looked we look up words of the Hebrew dictionary we have discussions the word nice Suey means married it's for the word to raise up that you raise each other up you carry needs to carry anyway I guess that's why they carry the bride across the threshold of the wedding name Diggity Dog yeah okay good step well I shouldn't I've had my hair in a suit alpha Mira so - this is exactly what's made they make within the the Adani are these these sockets and what does it teach you about together another this attribute of the status of being meek because being another being meek and humble is ultimately the the foundation for what the building where God is going to dwell and which all of Israel is based upon and that's why they're called add onion olive garlic none you'd meant and what are you here from the word Agnes Agnes means mastery and authority what Wendy how do you see honey here he says that through anybody who makes himself like a floor mat at the threshold down below Hashem makes him a I go on a master above from above anybody whose mass appeal as well who brings himself down the cut expiry who raises it up his ISOs into your soul he becomes a foundation stone which ultimately because he he's actually raising the entire building just like being dummy just like these sockets are the foundations and actually carry the entire building and now he says that's why the word us see the see is the word for the prince or the leaders because he carries others here this peru show nicely as I can the Prince carries others coulomb nish on Ebola everyone leans on him okay now that's the first trauma thus the first room we said was for the sockets the second trauma is for the atonement of the souls we said for the carbonyl so he says the tumor and the second treatment was for the communal offerings again everybody had an equal portion in those karasek hide the book a shame a shame even are by him if you look in number 9 on the source sheet Exodus 39:29 one lamb you bring up in the morning and the other one then the same you bring up the same but what does it say to Heather we're going over this I know this sounds repetitive but this is Judy's a 101 number 10 on the source sheet this said what are these sacrifices what is the purpose of the sacrifice the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit of God you will not despise a broken he crushed hearts zipped a low-key murfreesboro meaning to say that the purpose of these offerings is to bring a man to a broken heart he seized an animal slaughter and he says to himself but for the grace of God that should have been me I sinned I I sinned and I deserve the punishment and in place of my punishment this animal is my replacement of Cain you fasted God came all of his breath that's why also number 2 relates to God so we've done one relate it's got number two relate together as it says you get you should take my true when God says because that Shula with Isha had through my assuming Meno Herkimer I'll gather another because it was made from these people that all made themselves equal with each other meaning humble therefore a customer who said this is my true month this is me this belongs to me he attaches himself to such a guy still there did I get cut off at any times okay so now what about the third true now the third truth was all the thirteen and materials that were given and that was the one that was a free will offering okay he mentions the third one was not equal not equal that it didn't matter you can give more or less that the rich could give more and he's a to raise himself up right there's this aspect of hata that happens it happening it's gonna happen I'm sorry neighbor oh we've been talking about not raising yourself up so so many times but here we're gonna say like this I will show us the sheets shall echo shall be bone how you much caffeine Papa how to be out there kill all she wrote in her bag eh no muck only a suit out honey and there's like placed this allowing God is allowing a place doesn't mean it's right but he's allowing it to happen and what's the person gonna say you should be sainted Gaga but base of okay no yo to Melanie I haven't even a greater place in the house of God than the person I love Kate Nasim you met oak Oak Lake kodesh that's why that's why all the vessels are made right the tabernacle and the vessels are made from that money Comeau Jairo just like the are the Holy Ark the menorah the candlestick the candelabra the Showtime the bread of the the table for the show grants the MS BAE off the altar we have to care the rest of the vessels so without any doubt show you to Rome the top time there actually is a value there's different value attributed to these different this these different vessels and not only that there's a there's a crown on three of the items and give a crown on the ark you've the crown on the MS bath the incense miss bath and you've the crown on the on the Showtime and if you know anything about the different promises and different movies electives that mouth you those are the Showtime where the breads are and that's interesting the there's a crown on the table of showbread that crown represents what mouthfuls why because mouth of the kingship is rooted in baked lesson ranking David comes from bait lesson so mushiya comes through dubbing so there's some relationship to the House of bread the responsibilities of the mountain of the king is to provide as they say in America more jobs make America great again sustenance protection and sustenance that's the job so that's why the king that's why kingship Kings come through David come through you too so that table represents them the lisbeth the incense altar represents our ahkahuna people they're Coney they come from the tribe of Lady and Colleen and that represents that the crown upon the incense altar represents them and what about the crowd around the hour ago - that's represent anybody who connects themselves to Torah that's free to everyone okay that's available to everybody so let me just read it so that's a way we have the vessels are all in different levels everybody is on a different level somewhere connected to Kahuna some are connected to my fleet and sorry to be connected to the Torah so op apish Shafiq dishes of caving hey Lola cuddlesworth on the oxygen in Dublin Zoo and luggage broth nevertheless after the fact you just read this again sorry we said that there's these different vessels there on different levels so I for peace you could feed caduceus of Kaylee there is holiness to each vessel that God relates to the giving this freewill gift that is going towards that nevertheless after the fact she could be us Hannah dumb a higher chance at gaba but because there is some aspect of people raising themselves above others there's a problem here Lamar Behar mute because there are people that are able to give more that's why God does not attach his name to that third you follow so far the first two not attached themselves and attached his name correct but the third he doesn't attach his name because there is a place whether it's right or wrong okay it just is that people are different levels right you have King tonight percent lazy Cohen you got my sheets you got people attached to turn off everybody's an individual and because every individual that's where the shin does not attach his name to that third truth clear clear as mud yes no this is guys it's incredible or what for man okay we're in for the home stretch here that's what's called Bizet reads in the town school chakras he C wants to answer what very important question after the fact that the the actual person my office Turkish offhanded of a caseta image of a time when we saw it versus I'm gonna say right the end of three through seven right you have gold silver copper turquoise purple and scarlet wool linen go there red dye DRAM skins taki skins at acacia wood oil for illumination spices for the anointing oil and the aromatic incense I Jesus stop there before you number seven they're actually in order of value starting with gold down down down down down down and then all of a sudden the last two things are sharp stones and stones for the settings which are obviously valuable stones so he says after the fact to have this order as we see gold silver copper so if so why did they count why is he considered if you have these some precious stones at the end you have an order now it's out of order something's wrong what's wrong I don't know it's my guys still with me so these these stones at the end are obviously more value than than anything else so but why they at the end so he says even though you're able to actually answer well we well know through the measures that what happened that the the the princes the princes you know they did they said whatever the people don't bring will do will do will bring will donate now it wasn't necessarily a prideful thing it was just a they weren't able to do it thing wait maybe let's see really is to say we're gonna see that you listen since the scene brought those stones at the end so just like Rashi brings and you could read it partially the oculus chapter 35 verse 27 therefore it mentions their gift at the end that's great goes according to what you said nevertheless gamma feed Arcana according to everything that we have already said you're able to see the following that is Shama wanted to do what George Barna who the Horus to show them what that whether you gave a little or whether you gave a lot everyone's equal in the eyes of God that's why God Himself mentions at the end you think you're also grading your head good you gave all the valuable stuff put you at the end so you'll see that not so great she'll owe you a ferris are sure so that the wealthy person does not glorify himself above the poor person and even though if he I'm gonna give greater and therefore I should be at the top of the list I give my name should be on the building magic put into the cornerstone yeah and not only that it's mentioned their gifts last because of a hardness that they had so therefore it official really days that she did a little soft that's why yet not vous hats Ybor they said let everyone else give and whatever is missing who will pay out he claims this was arrogance meaning yes legged a new demolish machine classroom they said we have we have so much wealth you've been everything missing therefore they're there with their gift as mentioned only at the end he Cola come abhi Assad small whoever raises themselves up Hashem puts him down and guess what the word let's see that's used in the Torah is missing a good it's lacking the one letter out of know how does it say and not shinu and olive it's missing the year no matter what it's missing the year it's missing the one letter of God's name that is your your dinners over there it is missing from the word let's see okay you can look at and see that in chapter 35 verse 27 see the word glad to see there's no how do you have you see in chapter 35 verse 27 the one letter of God's name is not in there that is part of the roof and yet it's missing key Rock o Exide me to share me now God or Fukushima see it's only that one letter this part of God's own name and that would be the good in the word of the princes and it's missing and why because they raised themselves off so God took away that glory which what again reflects this whole idea of gather another of the reflection of the status of humility and how great it is be comical Oscar shimmy avoid that fires God said in that blessing we already saw in verse 20 verse 21 that was in last week's Barcia right well two weeks ago the altar of Earth you shall make for me wherever I loud my name to be mentioned I will come to Oh bless you where God meets you you will be blessed but that was this so this is what he says okay guys he says this is the foundation of foundations for the entire Torah and the sewers are good the actual way that you desire it's tiny it's tiny tiny tiny that reflects upon the fact that it is humble and small and that's why we the Jews are called hidden okay so I'm gonna wish you all good showers I'm not hanging out with you guys I just wanted to say good Shabbos to the camera and we look forward to seeing you again next week [Music]
