that's a lot of snow markets a partial
portion of
throughout this video because of his
sunglasses you'll probably be able to
see the reflection of the camera that
I'm holding
don't let that distract you okay because
I know it distracts me while editing in
this week's Torah portions Torah
portions yes there are two this week we
learn all about the tabernacle seriously
what's up with the tabernacle that has
been the subject of five torah portion
doesn't the torah have some rules to get
to what's up with this long story of
constructing the tavern at the fact that
it's construction involved so many
details isn't the answer because the
torah actually repeats details that it
already said that's what repeating means
it means it already Ellie come on get
with it the terror repeats that we
donated materials the embroidery the
weaving the hammering the building all
over why doesn't God just tell us how to
build a tabernacle and then let deter a
record that we actually did and then
we'd be like oh the Torah reading this
week in synagogue is so short okay no
that's not a positive thing so why
repeat all the details this week's to
tours are the last two in the second
book of the five books of Moses the book
of Shanice four in English Exodus the
answer to this question can be found in
the first book the book of Boreas or
Genesis when Abraham decided it was time
for his son Isaac to marry he sent his
servant Eliezer to go find him a
suitable manage the Sarah recorded his
journey until and including Eliezer
meeting Rebecca our righteous mother and
then speaking to her parents telling
them about Esther and the Terr doesn't
suffice with saying
Eliezer told them about his journey no
the Torah tells us Elias is journey all
over again why say it all over again
it's a good question a the Talmud says
that from the fact the Torah repeats the
whole story of Eliezer servant of
Abraham it shows us that God loves the
words of our forefather servants more
than the words of torah of our
forefathers children now what exactly
that means and why I don't know that's
more honest I was gonna say it's for
another time but the truth is I have to
really look up what that means before I
talk about it but the idea is there God
loves this story and therefore he
repeats it again in the Torah and the
same is true about the tabernacle
God loves this Mitzvah yes he obviously
loves and wants at
single Mitzvah but the building of the
tabernacle is the underlying theme of
the entire Torah this is why God made
everything we have and no this is why
we're here to make a tabernacle for God
to bring him into this corporate world
into our corporate lives I hope I'm
pronouncing corporal correctly and I
hope that just because I just made a
joke it shouldn't take away from the
seriousness of the subject at hand we
have to do our part and build this
tabernacle and when we go ahead and do a
mitzvah we are building that Tabernacle
with all of its details okay okay yeah
you could say a lot of things if you put
music behind you of course it's gonna
sound all nice and beautiful very soon
we will see the physical sanctuary the
third and final Holy Temple in Jerusalem
with the revelation of mushiya and may
it be now
