All right. So first we'll begin with the
dedications.
All the shum on Wednesday morning bet
midash program in rakavia
are dedicatedly Louis nishmote Daniel
ben Davidid and limudra strauss and
morai ben mohe raiselbat yoseph mayor
Marcus the prona parents of judy and man
marcus. uh our year is dedicated in
memory of Alisha Simma Bat Zalman in the
Fris family and we'd like to just add
there's a reformer request that our shim
should be also aut
Gabrielle Greenberg Ben Ruain okay
should be to vote for Obam is
uh last week we began the whole subject
of the Shiraata
the we say in the morning after David if
your somebody's phone is clinking
>> it's me I am guilty I take a grand
entrance
>> there you go
okay
>> the gamor said the gamor
>> yes
we began the subject of the the songs of
the levie that they sang every day in
beta mikdash in conjunction with the
sacrificial activity the corbanode and
today as a type of mikdash we also you
don't have to be a ley to do this like
if you remember the commercial in the
1960s
or even late 50s you don't have to be
Jewish to eat leyy's Jewish rye bread
you don't have to be a ley to say the
shahalimdash
because even if you're Ley, but if you
were at Beta Mikdash and you heard the
Shiraim, that was part of the mitzvah.
Very similar to Birkatim.
So, I'm not a Coen. My wife's a Coen on
both sides. So, she married out the uh
but a Coen has a mitzvah.
But somebody who's not a cohen has a
mitzvah
to receive the from the so when you go
to shul and I'm talking about men women
and children anybody in beta part of the
receiving the from the kanim there is a
fulfillment of the mitzvah that's what
the the lambim of brisk would call a
mitzvah so there's no there's no
obligation that I have to be in sh to
hear the koanim. There's no such
obligation. But if I'm in and I'm
hearing the
I actually am a recipient of the and
that's part and parcel of the mitzvah.
So uh so too with regard to the sheer
shahim or you bet mdash you don't have
to be a ley to be participant in the
mikdash factor because even in beta
mikdash those who were not levim were
able to absorb the songs of the levim
and that was part of the mitzvah. So
that's why we have this. Now where do we
get this from? If you take a look at
source number four
there is a thing called
Tanote
small m
it that's an optical illusion. It's one
of the sofim is one of the largest. Why
is it called sofim?
So you'll pardon me but there is major
leagues and minor leagues in baseball.
Right? So there are major league msto
the msto those sections of gum that are
part and parcel of the full shas and
then there are minor msto even though
they're they're long and they deal with
subjects that never made it into the
official Mishna. So they're called
brighta. Some of those breto were
codified in a corpus called the tophfta
and the word topha means additional or
supplementary. So supplementary Mishna
would be toa tofta is very very
authoritative but not as authoritative
as the Mishna which means if you have an
in the Mishna and a descending opinion
in the topha
then clearly it's what the Mishna has is
going to carry the day. That's no
question about it. But the topha
sometimes becomes important because it
expands on things that are in the Mishna
and for whatever reason for whatever
editorial reason
left it out but nevertheless they were
passed down through generations as oral
traditions and some of those old
traditions pop up in the topha. So
that's why the study of tofta is
actually important. So that's one type
of external to the Mishna corpus and the
other is called the manot
and um one of them is called sopim
attributed basically to the days of the
gonim not to the days of the Mishna the
material goes back to the days of the
Mishna but it's put together in book
form that already goes beyond the days
of the Talmud buff. So it has authority
of the days of the gonim 6th 7th 8th
century and so on and one of them is the
masim of of extreme importance and here
in source number four from the 18th
chapter of
it reads
why was it said that certain chapters
what to be said every single month. Now,
the problem is I couldn't print the
whole 18th chapter, 18th chapter to see
where this picks up. This is in the
middle of a sentence almost. And the
sentences before talk about the Shiralim
Mikdash, the songs that was sung at Beta
Mikdash. And what the authors of the
mazim are driving at is to try to
understand is there a possibility of
having these songs outside the context
of the beta mikdash. That's what the
subject is because when were the songs
actually sung. So in B mikdash you had
the
and associated with the for those doing
now
in the
you have the so you remember from our
so there were which are grain offerings
and I'm just parenthetically saying that
when we lived in Burva we were taught by
our Tunisian brethren in that the min
that when people eat couscous today is
to remember the corban in the beta
mikdash because couscous is nothing but
solet she and spices and that's what the
corba min was solet she and leona which
were one of the spices what
>> more like a dough
>> it was a dough but you know you asking
cautious Tunisians meant
the ba va So
that you have the requisite amounts of
and the pourings wine libations that
were done at in conjunction with the at
this point you have the songs of the
levim. So the question is can you
actually have songs without the
without the basically it means can you
have the songs without the so in in this
section of the it reads um the shimon
like in in accordance with the view of
men who known popularly as lakes which
just means shimon ben lakish
kame was once standing in front ofan is
beginning of the
Israel of the Shami. The question was
raised.
Can these songs be sung in not in the
context of the pouring of the wine in
beta mikdash? Dot dot dot dot dot dot. I
just saved you two and a half pages.
Therefore
the custom it's a custom for the nation
to sing these chapters of song and tell
them in their proper time. So what is
the proper time?
Yes, there is actually a that's found
made its way into the into
and we're going to see where this comes
from in a second. Um in in inf
but I'm reading continuing to read from
this is a quote from the found in the
shimdash.
Here it is. The songs that were sung in
the mdash
on Sunday,
that's the parac that we say on Sundays.
All you have to do is open up a sitter
and see this is correct.
We said that yesterday.
this morning
tomorrow
on Friday
and on Shabbat. So for those of us who
don't go to shul regularly who may not
say the shyom during the week but
certainly when you're in shulabat you
hear miratesh
some ashkan say it after mf some
here in
all of say it after there happens to be
a m
isn't it nice
if there wouldn't be the world wouldn't
turn All right.
When exactly did the Levie sing the
Shira the songs on a day that there was
a Corban mus which is Shabbat and Yam.
So that is that generated the two
different customs whether we say the
sham after shakar or after musf. Yeah.
But I know ones
uh the mossarum always had it after
uh
you look at the art scroll
>> the shyomir is after the cobot. Yeah
>> the only time I remember that is on
yamipa.
>> Oh
the only that's the only one I remember.
So I would double check that and the
reason is because uh there's a lot of
preliminaries. There were things that
was said at night on the night of enipa
that a lot of people walk out
and sh and some actually said the shyom
there too at that point because if you
look at your maker there is no entry for
shyom after mf in ashkanaz. So this was
like said early check it but u it's
either said after shakar before they
take out the dorra or it's said after mf
after
or if they do singro and so on. So you
just do whatever the sh does. But what's
behind that governing that m is the very
core question. When exactly did the
levim sing the
beta mikdash? When was it? Um okay. So I
say again most shs in they actually say
it after shakar if I'm not mistaken it's
the opinion of the vago that the shir
was always associated with the corban
tamid the daily sacrifices and that's
obviously the corresponding to and not
to the musaf that was sent afterwards.
Uh there's also an add-on of the
villagin that has sources that in the
beta mikdash on special days they didn't
say the regular Sunday Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday Friday
but there was a different peric and the
most famous is
which tillid was so in most in the world
they say the shyom and then they throw
in bini
what do they have fights about in shul
again if they don't have fights
This would even be a sh right whether
you say a kadesh after the and then go
on to and say another kadesh or do you
link them together the shyom and then
the kadesh just waits till after
it's a wonderful thing to argue about
yes
>> said both I've heard that
>> so here in we only say because this is
the min the custom of the vig that onesh
instead of substit stituting for the day
that particular day's yum we say the
that's what we do here in okay so again
these are things of I even want to point
out in the
now this whole section that I just read
about you know what we read on any
particular day you know a lot of people
when they get to ankle lano and shabas
they're out of gas you know like they're
already one foot out the door they
smelled the kougal from the choland and
so on. But if you say ankle the whole
thing from not just after the kids sing
ankle locu but
on Shabbat not on weekday but on Shabbat
this is there word for word it's is
actually was lifted out of this section
from the
which means for somehow or another on
Shabbat we say that on Sunday we say
this and on Monday we say that and
Tuesday we say this and some say that
that tells us something. Why? Why should
we be saying even in an abbreviated
manner what we say on Tuesday and what
we say on Wednesday, what we say on
Thursday? Why would that be important?
It most probably will answer the
question why we say
Shabbat. There's something about the
spiritual nature of every single day
that receives its nourishment from
Shabbat. And here in the ankle of kanu
it's like a kickoff to all the sheer shy
that are going to happen in the coming
week. So much so
that I saw that the students of the ARI
they said
this this was something that we say but
um apparently before the 13th century
the shyom simply was to read the peric
to read the pericavid
on Sunday and mush on Shabbat and so on.
who instituted to say
that line is not in the source in the
source of of what I just read from
source number four. It just says that on
you say
you say you say and so on. So in in this
wonderful sther
and this is the fat sither which is just
volume one of two volumes which a dear
uh older much older cousin of mine um
gave me for my bameitzvah and it's still
right his name was Yoseph Zinger and he
was the rov of the pjana shul in New
York City in the lower east side those
who know Stanton street
>> so there was a shul there and he and It
was across the street of my maternal
grandfather over Shalom's restaurant. So
I actually davened in this sh where my
dear old he was he was older than my
father. So but he was a cousin not a
first cousin he was a mishba as they say
he was also my parents shhat.
So did I get that right Libby? He was my
parents shot. So he was a gingi a red
head. So in the family he was called the
yosul the gingi you know the red yosul
yasul zinger a very very very fine
person and a big balid so and and and
and this was a whopper of a mitzvah gift
two volumes and uh and I still use it
it's an anthology of of
so he quotes here the students of the
who said that we say
mdash
when we should have kavana we have
proper focus
that something of the let's call it the
overdraft or uh uh surplus of the namaya
of Shabbat spills over into the next
week. What does it mean?
There is a additional spiritual
dimension that every Jew has every
single Shabbat. For what purpose? Well,
if you want to be a litak and you know
just stay away from all kinds of
interesting spiritual notions. So then
you quote Rashi in Bah who says that
this
is to give you an additional
gastronomical push because on Shabbat
we're supposed to eat another meal. The
Ram tells us that daily we should be
eating two meals and people would eat
two meals but on Shabbat because of on
Shabbat you upgrade to three meals. This
is before people would eat three meals a
day. So people were eating two meals a
day. So, sudashit meant an additional
meal and and and even the other meals
were supposed to be augmented by
that we sing in this mirro with you know
good meat and good fish and good this
and good that and so on. And obviously
you you you give some thought to what
your shabas meal is going to what the
menu is going to be uh before you go
shopping on Wednesday, right? you know
what your f your Thursday and Friday is
going to look like in the kitchen and
you upgrade this. So a human being has a
certain amount of uh need for food and
when you become satiated
the body tells you you're not hungry any
longer. The ram actually tells us don't
go overboard. When that signal hits that
you've had enough that's it. That's it.
Unlike when you would go to and I love
the scene of the American weddings at
the vianese table after the smorggas
board fullorggas board I may add which
in itself is a meal and then they serve
a whole meal after the kupa right my
younger brother used to say that the
whole reason there's a kupa is to be
mafik to make a heick between the
smorggas board and the dinner
>> because or else so then they open they
roll out this vianese table right, with
all these puddings and chocolate cakes
and whipped creams and everything. And
you'd think it was after Tishabuff by
people pouncing on the table like they
haven't seen a morsel of food that day.
It's um it's it's it's unbelievable. So
the Ram tells us that when you feel that
there's no longer an urge to eat, stop
eating. Stop eating. But on Shabbat, we
don't want to stop eating because it's
on Shabbat. So you need something from a
kadoshu to somehow change the gastric
juices in you that will allow you to
still be a little bit more hungry for
another meal and in each meal for the
extras. And that's how Rashi understands
the nishay.
And I used to think you know before I
saw this rashi I said I can't believe
it. I used to think there's something
downright spiritual about you and now
you're telling me it has to do with the
gas gastronomical needs and so on. But
that's rashi. But then of course there
are other takes to what the is and that
is that on Shabbat
you just don't have your normal needs in
life. It's not that you don't need to be
healthy. Of course, you need to be
healthy, but it's not your on your
concerns of your
the is our life's agenda. It's divided
into personal needs and national needs.
Whether it's wisdom and chuva and health
and sustenance, parasa, these are
personal needs. But then there are
national needs. Kibbut in gathering the
elos and so on. reconstituting the
Sanhedrin those are the
morning evening and and afternoon
the of our needs but Shabbat that's gone
what do you have one in the middle that
speaks about the sanctity of the day
Shabbat so I remember
wrote gave a speech once it was actually
at a schol of one of the boys in the
fell and um and he spoke about the the
the needs that we have on Shabbat.
These are spiritual needs. So it's not
that the on Shabbat is without
requests of needs. It's just that our
agenda is different and that has all to
do with the that on Shabbat we shift
gears into a different and focus on
different set of needs. So that's the
what the is all about. So here the of
the
early cabalists of 13th century. So they
said that we should begin saying the
with this line
and have
that the
was with us on Shabbat
didn't just walk out on us. Some people
believe that the very reason that we
smell bisim at is because of the loss of
the
and you're ready to faint. So when
somebody you know is ready to faint, you
give him smelling salt, right? You try
to revive him. That's one of the
reasons. There are other reasons for but
that's one of the classic reasons. But
here the students of the believed that
you can somehow grab on latch on to the
from Shabbat and shle it with you to
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
That's why it's
Shabbat. there's something of Shabbat
that now is going to continue with us
and and and and somehow maybe protect us
even during the days of the weekday. So
indeed it's
but there's something about Shabbat that
we've carried along with us and that's
just a a a very very beautiful idea. So
now we go back to the end of source
number four where it says
There's something about Shabbat that is
everlasting. Um speaking uh euphorically
about uh about the the the period of of
Mashiach. It's going to be a type of
Shabbat existence of sort. However that
will look, we'll guess. We'll just have
to find out. We don't know yet. And so
on. And then it ends with
anyone who mentions these
in their proper season time which means
by day as they did it in beta mdash.
It's tantamount to having the misbak up
and running and functioning. Now this is
not strange to us this concept. If you
look at source number five from Hosa,
that's a niggan, but Hosa said it also
before, right?
>> It was actually a song that I sang at my
first Kalba concert that I gave when I
was in fourth grade.
Right.
That was a long time ago I sang this.
Yeah. But then he says,
"We will pay our debt of the axen of the
animal sacrifice with our lips." And
this now becomes a whole
that by saying the requisiteim
and perhaps even learning the requisite
of the corbanote the very verbal
verbalizing of the parot of the kadul
will consider it as if we offered the
corban itself. You have this in the in
the section of corbanote where many
times it will say
as if I brought the following qurban. So
that's something that's known. Yeah.
>> Why are the
day
different from the ones that
some of them don't match?
>> Which don't match. They match. Exactly.
No.
Sunday is Monday. It's it's correct.
>> This is exactly what we say every day.
Exactly. And and this section of the
founded
was cut and pasted onto grafted onto the
ankle of Shabbat. You open up a cider of
dinging of Shabbat, you'll see it.
You'll see it right there. And some
sidur even give you the source for it.
But here you have an idea that it's
clearly in the category of the mdash if
we do it will consider it as if we've
brought the corban. Let's take a look at
the very very first go back to source
number two which is the tumal for
Sunday.
God is the the he owns the world and
everything in it. All the places where
human beings reside.
It was pointed out by the paranim
that
means the entire globe. The entire globe
launched
and on the globe there are some
continents that are you know for for
human beings to survive and reside in.
That's the vos.
So, it's it's broken down because it's
human beings that we're going to be
talking about. Now, we're not talking
about uh the the the fish in the water.
We're talking about human beings and
relationship to
he established the earth with the rivers
and and and the oceans, the oceans and
the rivers.
And in all that great globe,
it all boils down to one point.
Who can ascend the mountain of God?
And who can remain there in that place
of sanctity?
What are we talking about? Where is the
Harashem? Where's the makum kacho? One
dot on the globe. It's harabayat.
It's the mountain of beta mcdash.
And which human being
can gain
somewhat limited access to that
harashem? And even when you start
climbing it, it's a struggle because
you'll never get to the top. and even
maintaining a certain uh height of
accomplishment this constant slippage
and that's what it means
who do you think can go up to ascendem
you think everybody no and if you
started it
who can maintain the progress you're
constantly slipping which means it's a
constant struggle to continue to go up
you know who can do
You have to be completely
clean. Clean in the sense of integrity,
right?
The very end of you have to be clean.
And it's clean in a very modern sense.
The Mishna tells us
that the treasurers collecting the half
shekele piece at beta mikdash for
parachalim
were not allowed to have pockets in
their coat because pockets have holes
and some of the
>> might fall out into somebody else's
pocket and even though the kanim doing
this job you figure are met people with
integrity
There was always an issue of staying
away from suspicion. Don't do something
that looks suspicious. As it says,
you shall be clean. Not only from
Hashem, but also Israel. You got to be
clean on all levels. From
said it in his own way in Mish.
It's not only good important you know to
be okay with
you have to be okay with human beings as
well and when you study the
and you know you have two there's five
against five and the paranum explain the
first five are are between man and god
and the second five are social between
man and man So say and Rashi brings this
right away.
There's a headline and God spoke all of
these things. Then it gets started.
What does that mean? That actually said
the entire they wrote in one breath
but nobody can understand it like that.
So it had to then be spelled out one
after the other. So the of
as if to say flex his muscles and say it
all in one breath to teach us that
they're all interdependent
that you cannot have a person who's
going to be a sadic between a man and a
kadosh pu and you know when you're going
to buy a used car from him he's a crook
and he's going to cheat you kid doesn't
work like that the integrity part is an
integral part of
and and u and and on the same footing he
said that if a person is a very decent
individual except doesn't want to have
anything to do with
that's not going to work either they go
together by call
so here who can begin the climb to
Harashem you have to first be nikapay
your hands your palms of the hands have
To be clean, you have to be a person, an
individual with integrity. Second,
that means your thoughts have to be also
in the right place. And
you don't swear falsely. Mima means in
in a cunning way in a in in a round
bending way also not straight way but
the point of nishbah is an oath al
always has to be articulated and what
you have here are the big threeto
from
that the Torah teaches us that we are
being we are human beings
And we can serve a kadoshu with our
minds. There are mitzvah that you can
sit tight and not lift a finger and
fulfill the mitzvah. Think about a
kadoshm.
There are mitzvah that are in the mind.
That's and then there are mitzvah that
are have to be articulated
and so on. things that you have to say
and then most of the you have to act
upon you have to pick yourself up and do
it. Okay. So here
is saying you've got to be okay in all
three departments.
Now here it says
means Prophet Melik is speaking about
himself about human beings on this word.
There's what's called a
a a way the tradition says to write it
to spell it and a tradition how to say
to read it. What I printed out here is
the way it's read. This is the way we
say it.
My life. But the spelling in is his
life.
His life. There's above there and the R
always taught us that creative
means split screen. They're both right.
It's a double-edged message.
So, you know, you have sometimes you're
watching the news and all of a sudden
half the screen you have the the the
news the anchor person and the other
half you have the reporter. We know this
you have the ability to the technology
of split screen. Korean means split
screen means it's read one way but
written a different way because both
messages are true and what what David is
saying here
you
are perfection
and we
are striving for that perfection.
We're striving for that perfection, but
we have a role model. And the role model
is a
almost the same as before, but not the
same.
for melavot.
We'll get back to all this. But if you
just look at source number three, the
rad
is
and he's also a street not far from
here, right?
He's a street not far from here. But
they picked up on all the paranim. So
you have and
so you get to learn who the paranim are.
and Raovishkin,
>> right? Do you remember I talked about
this two years ago?
>> Yes.
>> It was Rahov Yehudi. But Usishkin who
was the chairman of the Jewish agency,
he wanted a street and his name near the
Jewish agency. So Yudvy moved to the old
city. That's all. All right. Actually,
Rebudy belonged in the old city for
sure. Okay.
So the rad says in source number three
composed it
was anticipating something that he's not
going to live to see but he wrote
already the song when the beta mdash is
going to be built and they're going to
bring the aron
into the keshim.
Here's the text. Let's sing this song.
This is going to explain why when we
bring the safe Torah back to their
ownesh on Monday, Thursday, Shabbat
and any other Torah reading except
Shabas morning, except Shabas morning,
we read this peric of Tilla, right?
says
so on Monday Thursday we say
right you just people mumble it up and
they get to
let's remember tomorrow when we bring
the Torah back we will sing say this
with understanding that we are somehow
doing a replay of sorts of the days of
Schlommo Melik when the beta mdash was
built. So he took out his phone and he
opened it up to Tillum to of his father
and they said this prepared this for
that occasion and that's what we're
doing. So of course the question is why
in Shabbat do we say
Beloved
and so on, right? That's a good caution.
And the answer is because that perk
talks about the wonders of creation
hearing
in nature
all the various colot of the creation of
the world which obviously applies to
Shabbat. So, so that's why we we took
and put it aside. We'll get to you by we
lane by anyway on Shabbat. So, we'll say
it. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Is it possible that the reason why on
Shabbat we actually say
is it possible because probably realized
that the uh that the would not be
brought into the Shabbat.
>> Yeah. That's a nice point. It's a nice
point. They wouldn't bring the Aron into
the Bdash Shabbat. So like
demonstratively inappropriate to if if
we want to re reconstruct or re reenact
reenact that. So it's like a weekdayish
thing but by we do say it and on y we do
say it right. We do say it's a you know
that's it's a it's a good answer. Yeah.
Yeah. It's good. It's good. It's good.
Yeah.
>> I said so after the sin of oversleeping
because of bat parro the did not open up
right away. And that's why he said this
and then they opened
>> okay so that's another reason of sushim
opening up the gates because he was in
dire need for
to get the gates open because the novi
tells us that the gates just didn't open
and here melik actually had a panic
attack he had a panic attack because you
know everybody's there can you imagine
what what we call a fadika in this
country. You know what a fadik is? Talk
to your great grandchildren. They'll
tell you what a fadik is. There's a a
real mess up, a real real first class
mess up. And was desperate. So it could
be that also applies to that. Thank you.
Yeah. So now you have um one of the
applications. So now we know that we say
it on every Sunday. Why on Sunday? We'll
see in a second. We say it every single
time we bring the seat back toesh to
reenact that moment of schlomik taking
the cue from his father do to say it
except for Shabbat as we said and now
try to find out why it's the sh of so
let's continue in the
continuation of saying you will know
absolutely where the place of the beta
mikdash should be
period. What is this all about?
Do you remember onkot?
So you have these extra harams where we
say on Shabbat and venting in right
that's what we just said before. And
then there's
That's based on a can say forimat
so the rastavid
wasn't it who built the beta mikdash why
is it sukat Davidid so turned to the
raman in parhat
where there the Torah says the
sha You shall seek out. The word
means seek out
seek out
where he is to be found in
you should search and investigate in
terms of uh uh interrogating the
witnesses. So the word
means seek out.
means seek it out. Now, why is that
important? Because throughout
more than 12 times, I don't think I'm
not sure if it was 13 or 14, but for
sure more than 12 times, it says
to the place that God will choose. Now,
the the understanding is that when this
will become a reality, some Nvi is going
to tell us where it is and that's it.
and speaking the name of how in the
world is a human being supposed to know
where is that place obviously some comes
to and says no don't wait for the you
seek it out
you snuff out the place try to locate it
at the end of the day is going to give
you a pat in the back and give you a you
got it but who was the one who actually
did It it was and the Raan says
fulfilled this.
Yes, there was a Nave Natana Navi said
it's the right place. It's the right
place
and from then on something unique
happens with Beta Mikdash.
Today is Gimlvat.
doesn't mean a lot to a lot of people
except that it's the day after the 2nd
and before the fourth but
um our had yardite the ro had yardsite
for his father on the third of and he
gave a marathon shear on the night of
the third of which it was just called
the yardside shear I'm not exaggerating
a 4-hour shear with no interruptions
uh and it was a yiddish some of those
shirim have been published. Some have
been you know somehow uh abbreviated
whatever we have many of those shum not
all of them but D spoke spoke about beta
mikdash
and in his um in in his style he um he
he refers to the the Rambam when he
talks about the laws of bet mikdash and
he tells us there's a mitzvah to build a
house that's appropriate for sacrificial
activity appropriate for ali the regel
and the the the puk the verse that's
that effectively activates this mitzvah
is a paratum vuli mikdash that's what he
quotes okay but then very end of the
raham comes back to this mitzvah in a
context of Israel has to fulfill three
mitzvot when they get into Israel
which are mitzvot that are binding only
on the nation and then of course the
question is who's is the nation to do
it. That's a shir in itself. One is to
appoint a king. The second is to
eradicate a molec and the third is to
build a beta mikdash. And there the brah
cites and with regard to the building of
bet mikdash he quotes the shik.
He seems to be talking about the same
mitzvah that he did earlier on in the
book but he quoted earlier from
paratumdash.
And here in
he quotes for au
of the commentaries on the page known as
the Mishna. I know Mishna is what we eat
Friday night but it's a commentary and
all the commentaries called themselves
something Mishna Mishna something
because the book is called the Mishna
like the Mishna of Rabio Caro and
there's the magishna and the this Mishna
and that Mishna. So one of the
commentaries is a from Turkey 17th
century le Mishna and he says I don't
get it why why did the ram change the
puk he's talking about the same mitzvah
and he throws up his hands
he doesn't know why but the ro came
along and gave a great answer because
the ra's talking about two different
aspects of beta mikdash beta mikdash as
a place as a house not a place as A
house appropriate for Corbanote and a
house where they you'll have aliyah
regel does not have a location in the
kish the Mishkan where was the location
it depended on wherever am Israel parked
in the desert and where did they park
open up vanu
42 places at every single place. You
know, they opened up the Lego box cuz
that's what it was. I was ready to say
Tinker Toys cuz I grew up on Tinker
Toys, not on Lego. My kids grew up on
Legos. But that's what it was. It was a
prefab silka of sorts and they put it
together and then when they, you know,
the Anan Kavode moved, they took it
apart and they carried it. The Levian
carried it and they put it together.
Every single time they put it together,
they were in fulfillment of Vasuli
Mikdash. And when they got to Israel,
they put up the Mishkin and Shilo stood
for 369 years. It wasn't the place that
was important. It was the fact that it
was a building that was appropriate for
Corbano. When it gets to us,
the idea of beta mikdash assumes a new
dimension, a dimension of place. Not
only is it a house for Corbanote and for
Ali Algel, but from this moment on there
will be no other place. This is the only
exclusive place for beta mcdash. And it
gets a nickname bet
the chosen house based on the elash.
And from this place there's no movement
of and that's why the Ram says even
after the destruction of both mikdash
the presence of a kadu remains there
forever and that's why the place is
kadosh the fact that there's a a mosque
there that's of no consequence it's it's
kadoshel
and you have to be careful as tame
certain places on harabay you're not
allowed to walk on and so on all these
other are are are in in effect today
because of
mikdash. So the um we talk about the
this is
building the beta mdash and here the the
is telling us that
says
that that's where where where did
ultimately did realize and realize that
indeed because after it was um detected
and and and singled out as the place and
the Navidid tells David yeah this is the
very very place there was already a
sensation of God's presence. So
therefore, David Malik wanted that there
should be this peric of tillum said when
the Aron is brought into the beta
mikdash and that's why we say it when we
bring back the Aron to the Aronesh. But
question is what does this have to do
with being Sunday? So the continues
and is the place where human beings
reside
that's why it said with the word
everything about the and when it said it
said and the inhabitants but now let's
try to understand what this has to do
with Sunday so let's drop down to number
Source six, it might be on the other
side right on your page. It's the
Rambam's Mishna commentary.
And it says there also the she that was
sung in the beta mikdash
the reasons were given in the roar
mimalu
in the in which is all about mikdash all
it tells us is the choice of the chapter
that the levim sang it doesn't tell us
the reason but in the
you have the that you have all the
reasons. So here the Rambam is already
going to say something about
creation started on the first day. So
is appropriate. So let's look at source
number seven. What does the actually
say? Here's the bright
says in the name of
what did they say on Sunday? What did
they sing on Sunday in Betdash?
He owned it. He gave over or transferred
ownership and he ruled in the world.
What does that mean? Jump to number
eight. Look what Rashi says about this.
Rashi says,
don't get the wrong idea that the just
said the first two words.
They said the whole chapter
he owns
transferred the ownership to
whom? to
to the residents of the people, the
inhabitants.
Says he he owns it with the purpose of
giving over, transferring ownership
and he was the ruler of this world alone
on day one.
The angels weren't created until day
two, which means on day one
is the only one there. Now,
we're not through with this page.
We're not through with this page. Maybe
I'll have another page next week, too.
But I'm going to ask for the page back
so I'll be able to give it to I'm not
finished with the share. What does it
mean?
So the rub explained
ownership
is a function of creation.
Why? If if you have a factory and you're
making chairs and tables, by what virtue
is the chair and table yours? They were
pieces of wood or they were metal,
metallic substances and so on. They were
what's called raw material. You took the
raw material and you made it into a
chair. You made it into a table. You
took
raw material and you made it into a
picture and it's yours. By what virtue
is it yours? Because you made it. The
acquisition is automatic if you are the
one who made it. You then have the
option to keep it as yours or to
transfer the ownership to somebody else.
So if a guy sells a a table and chair
from his factory and you paid money for
it and you took it home, he can't come
two days later and said, "Hey, it's my
chair. I made the chair." You
legitimately
received it from him. And there was
transfer of ownership. That's called in
jargon kenyan. That's what a kenyan is.
It allows for transfer of ownership.
There are different types of kenyan. If
you study the end the mishna the end of
first chapter kushian you get all
different modes of kenyan
and different ways money might be one of
the ways contract might be one of the
ways picking something up might be one
of the ways pulling something land
transactions may have different ways of
transfer of ownership but whatever the
kenyan might be it means somebody owned
it by virtue of the fact that he created
it he made it and now is transferring
over ownership. Of course, in the case
of land, you know, you didn't create the
land, but you may have cultivated the
field and that becomes your field for
sure. And now you sold the field. So
there is transfer
owns the world as was said in Brashid
Shamayim.
By what version virtue is he the owner
of the world? He created it. As simple
as that. So the gar says in
the sixth chapter,
what kind of braha do we make on
different foods? It says
God owns the food. So every time we eat,
we're stealing from him. No, no, no, no,
no. It also says in we say it in
that's what we're reading here.
He transferred it over to human beings.
By what virtue does give it over to us?
Where's the kenyan? Does he take out a
handkerchief like the ra when he does
the kuba? Does he write on a contract
says acknowledge that I made it and I
give it over to you.
Now it's mine. Now it's mine and that is
the basis of all the on food
that it's owned by a kadu but a kadu is
willing to give it up to us and what's
the price we pay not hard cash
acknowledgment that he's the owner of
the world
and all the various that we say this is
and this took place on the first day of
creation. So on
we begin
there's one other time that we say this
peric with great fervor and we're going
to talk about this next week
>> when
no one question
>> no questions afterwards I'm running out
of time.
>> You got it.
When would you hear that? Inshashanip.
All right, we'll talk about this next
week.
