The Message of the Imrei Emes to the Belzer Rebbe - Rabbi Yosef Weinberger

wonders why it is the torah seemingly repeats itself uh regarding the binyan hamishkan parsha's uh all contain many of the same exact sukim and trump and details surrounding the bini namiska and so it's very unlike the torah to uh you know use the word seemingly seemingly repeated cell uh providing us unnecessary details and information things that we already know and rahayama qatar suggests kimitos so the building of the mishkan was so special to akrishbaraku so that is why it repeats itself and the question is why what was it about again not even the mishkan in its uh you know avodah but really just the process of building the mishkan what was it about that that was so special to hashem and perhaps the idea is one of the ideas that it represents is what a jew is supposed to do in the aftermath of failure of tragedy and uh we have to remember that beneath were building the mishkan following the ego which to that point in history was by far the greatest national sin they lost to lufos arizonos thousands of people died it was a real embarrassing moment it was a low moment it was a step back for bene strom and what were they supposed to do what did hashem and moshe instruct them to do how could they rectify that terrible mistake and the answer is you don't always or ever really get a rewind button you know you don't get to go back in time and and undo what you did but rather the ether is to move forward to build something to create something new to do something positive and productive that will add kedusha that will create a space where i could sparkle in our lives really there is nothing to do with the leukos already shown us are lost the other negative effects they've taken hold but we can do something else we can move on and build something positive and build forward and that is a blueprint in the groundwork that the torah is laying for us uh for all time following failure following a tragedy and perhaps that is what what is about this uh this episode of the building the mishkan and that is why the torah repeats itself over and over and over again to ingrain within us this is what you do you know mistakes failure is inevitable we can't always fix things that go awry even if they're our fault especially if they're our fault but we can look to the next day to the next step to take and do something productive and be uh you know have a positive mindset moving forward there's a beautiful story a powerful story uh told in the aftermath of the holocaust that the the belzer review [Music] wanted requested a meeting with the guerrilla that's happened to emery hemmis from avr mordecai altar uh to to get some and uh the two rabbis met and the gariba saw just how broken and distraught the belzer [Music] uh he was very review and the whole was really decimated in the gary we told him the following vote he said when yosev in yemen meet up after their long separation they finally meet each other and destroy him so the pasek says that they fell in each other's shoulders and they cried what were they crying about so the rashi quotes that they were crying about each other's loss that yosef foresaw in the future the basa mingles which would be in the helicopter would be destroyed and he was crying for that and bin yaman saw that in the future mishkan shiloh which would be in ephraim and yosef that would be destroyed and he was crying for that and the garabi assabella so why is it they're each crying for each other why doesn't yosef cry for his mishkan why doesn't bin yum and cry for his base at mikdash why are they crying for her for one another this is a good question so the garage be answered because for another jew's loss for another jerusalem we always cry we lend the shoulder we lend it here we shed a tear we're always willing to cry for our own loss we don't cry we build we move on we don't have self-pity we don't cry over our own sorrows we don't we don't cry our own failures and mistake we'll never get anywhere if that's the case when a person faces a loss faces a failure the lesson of the mishkan is it's our avodah to build on to build forward the bells already heard this and uh hashem rebuilt this massive belzer the bells are based in mikdash that they have and it's uh this was the lesson that the belzer have been received from the gerard this is a lesson of the mishkan in the aftermath of failure and struggle a jew must always build on
