Parshat Vayakhel - Shira Smiles: Torah Tapestry

very simple question for today and very simple answers sometimes in Simplicity not sometimes always in Simplicity is depth and the challenge is that we will look at an answer and say oh and we don't stop to just hold the answer and be able to really take it in see its impact on us and really live it so let's take a look at the at this theim at the question and and and we'll begin Moshe assembled the entire assembly of the children of Israel and said to them byak that's the name of the para these are the things that hasem commanded to do them and six days work may be done but the seventh day shall be holy for you welcome back a day of complete rest for Hashem whoever does work on it shall be put to death you shall not Kindle Fire in any of your dwellings on the shabbath say but said to entire assembly of the children of Israel saying this is the word that Hashem has commanded saying take for yourselves a portion for Hashem and the command to bring the things for the mishkan so the question we have to ask ourselves and it's a very basic question is mosenu is gathering the Jewish people and the question we have to ask is one question which is why why because he just gathered them why is yeah why is he G Gathering them why on this occasion is the Assembly of the people mentioned explicit in our verse why do we need to know about it now let's take a look a little bit more carefully at thees if you take a look at the first pk it says these are the things that Hashem commanded to do them is that then related to chabas in the next PK or is it a separate idea these are the things I commanded to do them stop next idea on six days work be done how do we understand the opening p is it then continued into the rest of theim or is it an idea on its own and we don't know what the idea is this is what he command you to do them but we don't know what the command is well I think we know now in our day we know that it's a continued thought because the of are connected to shabas good good good so you're you're answering it but let's understand that there's a question first good and here's the question is the need of the hakel of the joining together for shabas is the need of hak for the mishkan or is the need for hakel for well yeah again yeah or is it for something else and there's another option we have it either for shabas for the mishkan for both or for neither and it's something on its own and I want to examine all of these possibilities and what we learned from them and that's where we're headed for today so it's a simple question the gathering's goal what what was the reason they gathered so let's start with shabas because that's what comes next in the in the mosu gather the people together to teach them the laws of chabas let's take a look what is so important about chabas so R in h brings the Y the Y the med says the following from beginning T until now you don't have a para that begins V except this one listen to this gather together large groups of people what's the purpose of gathering them together to teach them so that future Generations should know that future Generations should come together on shabas to learn different Torah and to be involved in h shabas and the laws of chabas why is that necessary what's the deeper understanding here that's important to gather the people together so why are they being gathered together to mamish learn H which you have laru what you had mentioned we learn the of shabas from the Mish there's something about H shabas that shouldn't be taught individually but needs to be taught together so let's try to understand why so let's begin with a very and again as I mentioned we're going to be finding such beautiful and sweet ideas on our way today the first idea in Source seven the idea of learning what the Mitzvah is about in its own right before we get to the group let's just talk about get the people together and teach them shabas on shabas why so have in quot who heard this from the that was if you figured out who said what and whose name and he says in the bracket we know the idea of K Mitzvah the Torah the Mitzvah is compared to a candle and the Torah R compared to light listen to what he says a candle does not light without the combustion of some sort I can light a match but if I don't have a candle it's not gonna what it's not going to keep that's what's G to keep the light a light this line is precious you can have mitos and you can have Torah with the understanding but what is going to be what's going to impact us what's going to create a spiritual reality in our lives to have what both together see this is a real Challenge and this is a challenge we're all familiar with we keep mitzvos left right and center and we know a tremendous amount that that is Mitzvah to take that information about that particular Mitzvah and while I'm doing the Mitzvah or before I'm doing the Mitzvah to what to learn about it to understand it to really delve into it then when I keep that Mitzvah wow it's a whole different Z because I'm on fire I'm ignited I understand it yeah we're following the there's such a difference yeah are we really supposed to understand all the oh so what so good so are we able to understand the MV no but are we able to have a deeper appreciation to learn the theas about the Mitzvah to gain a larger insight into the Mitzvah absolutely yeah for sure you won't understand it but you still have Rashid that says let the mother come up clean up the baby and you you have standing right it's it's a t for the of Thea it's a t of you have some level of appreciation so we're looking for I I taught a Russian woman once and she started asking me questions about various mitvah and I was very much afraid that if I gave her the wrong idea then she could be doing the Mitzvah I didn't know how to explain some of the Mitzvah to her that's fine trying to give her love a love of it that I did 100% And we we always say this is not the reason it is a what it's it's a taste you know they call a MIT a is a taste so I add a little bit of salt a little bit of it's not the food it's just the what it's a taste and there are many different tely mean there are many different spices I put on one of the challenges is when we keep mitzvos and I don't have any understanding behind it then it becomes very much what rote habitual and I lack this is the key line in in in in the sh it it it it enlightens using the Mitzvah or enlightens myish it gives me meaning it gives me some level of appreciation and understanding and then the whole idea of that Mitzvah you know uh changes you know what comes to my mind and and with this I want to move on is um lighting Friday night candles why do we light Friday night candles so there's a lot there's shom bias and there's C for shabas and on shabas so the idea that r talks about that you can be in a room let's say and we've all had this experience and uh the lights go out and you're groping around literally what in darkness even though you think you know the room and you're just looking for one thing like the light switch right and and you can't find it and then suddenly the the switch breaker goes back on and what how do I see everything so clearly he says we know the weekday and really is is referred to as Darkness this world is referred to Darkness and and and and and it's a world of trampling it's a world of lack of clarity what does the Friday night candles do it turns on the light oh there's rebon shalam oh he's in charge of the world this world isn't chaotic there's there's meaning to this world right that's the way the adori gur explains why do we call the night s there because when all said and done and you look at kaj and this world looks like you know the dog eats the cat that eats this that my gosh this world is crazy hashem's running the show there's a say there to what looks like chaos so when I turn on the lights on chabas when I light Friday night candles I have that moment of wow I get it I have so many things in my life that I don't understand how they're all fit together and what's going on but I know the reism charge and then the Friday night candles become a whole different experience they become an experience of an amuna they become experience of connection and it's a whole different dimension again is that the reason we like Friday night candles no is it the the the cinnamon and the sugar on top yes does that make sense that was a very long [Music] uh nine well we're just gonna fly here it's not just enough to learn the H shabas you should learn it means in a group why K the K T is greater in a group as teach us you can't compare a few to a big and this is because the idea with a large group of people you're able to greet the king in a more uh profound way way what's a group ah very good what does is a group considered excellent excellent question excellent question a a group technically is any amount of people generally Hally and we're going to see this tonight A group is usually 10 people very good it's 10 people but that has alic implications it's a good question obviously the more the uh the more the merrier but I like your question yeah kidish and my husband always ques for I'm hress smell right that one person should make kidish for everybody so how do the custom everybody says no got to make my own Kish it's really not it is people's mean hugging that we respect oh okay you know about that one I got it I like it but I got it that's fine that's fine I want to take this idea of learning in a group and shabas is connected to a group in an absolutely stunning idea I had never met before which is most of my life I've never met most of these ideas the alosha brings down the following and he says in the arrow and 10 this is a famous idea shabas is given to us as a group we know that every day had a partner Sunday had Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday I po shabas it's all by itself no con is going to be your partner that's how you say here's the key line shabas is unique that we are all connected in keeping chabas and making sure that others keep shabas as well this is the idea to make shabas how do you make shabas shabas by not do anything Aster shabas is unique while other mits and he says this straight out in 12 ver well well other mitzvos obviously you have a you have the the command to reprove and repand if someone's not doing a Mitzvah but there's no to go out and be a to put on now it's very nice to them there's no to do that there's no to make sure everyone hears chauffeur it's nice it's important it's but there's no obligation the one exception shabas shabas is a communal responsibility where everyone has to ensure that others are keeping shabas as well I am not saying go out on the street and throw stones and scream shabas shabas that's not what I'm saying but you see stories of gdolim who would go to the shops ER of shabas and tell the shopkeepers you know chabas is coming soon it's time to close up for chabas there is and he says this so clearly in the in the asteris to remember shabas is for ourselves to keep all of its details to guard I have to ensure that my friend also keeps shabas as well fascinating why why why and the answer is because chabas belongs to Kess Israel shabas we as a group are partnered with with shabath and therefore since an excellent question since we are partnered with chabas all of the group needs to be the partner to chabas and we have that responsibility and that's why there's an onus of responsibility on parents to ensure that their kids are keeping shab which which you know people you know like to have a fine line if the light is on so they tell the threee old you know what turn off the light absolutely wrong that from a young age a child should know what shabas chabas is a different category than than everything else and you really have to ensure that chabas is kept and hence why is vak by chabas because there's a special element of community by shabas which you don't have by any other Mitzvah fascinating so we have two ideas why shabas is mentioned idea number one theas of shabas should be taught on chabas and this is a fascinating uh impetus for all of us to have shabas on chabas that this is uh has uh very ancient sources to that yes I don't it says each day that creation one and four each one has a partner where does it say that are we partners with it's not Partners it partners with shabas SH no I'm saying each day has partner and chabas isab alone I'm asking where does it say that we are that we're the Z it says that we're the Z but where does it say that where's the original you want to know what the source for that is isn't it doesn't it say Place said hasem said that yeah yeah yeah yeah you're asking me where the source is I don't know he brings it here without bringing me a source which is unusual for him so it's in Source 10 he doesn't bring me a source but I I like your question I don't know he usually brings resources it is a med somewhere okay now that is shabas that's shabas okay good no I don't want hot I um you know if You' put something in it too that would also I want to talk about so we finish shabas for now I want to talk about the mishkan and be right he to commanded them to build the mishkan before we talk about the mishkan let's add a component and that is he gathered them together as a for and he needed to get a TK a rectification for the sin of Theo before we could even build the mishan and ask for material now we're all on the same page I just want to make sure we're on that page when did par happen the day after yum Kipper yum Kipper he got forgiveness came down with the second lucos the next day he comes and tells them about the mishkan and to prepare for the mishkan and told them they have gotten forgiven why was it necessary to gather the people together as the point of experation for the sin of and I want to share three Nas why this is so the first in Source 13 is something called and this is something that's found in very early writings about one of the ways to do chuva and it's chuva MAA is Chu in the very way you sin that's the way you re ify so just to give an example if you've used your mouth to malign others to create uh you know Discord so then use your mouth for what for for Gathering people together and building people up and creating community and in our own lives we know this if we use some aspect of ourselves in a negative way work in that very area for the positive so there's a PK my friends that we don't pay enough attention to which is most we just I hate to say it listen to this p in the bracket byour 13 aside from the terrible sin itself there was an aspect of why because how does this whole story of Theo begin listen to the P Al Aon the people gathered around Aon asking him to build the egel what was the beginning of the slippery slope vak they gathered together to create and of what therefore is the T of gather them together to gather materials fascinating yeah I never saw it either which is my life great um and that's the beauty of learning there is so much here that we don't even scratch the surface to scratch to scratch the surface and it's all in front of us it's ftic so interesting it's like the power of the crow yes and if you think of it if you go back to the AR they're saying we as a this exactly exactly it's the same resp communal responsibility that's what it's exactly it that that's theud here it is about communal responsibility um he goes on to say rim and it's it's an impactful idea he said he told him why in Arrow 14 the natural state of the Jewish people is Unity sin creates disunity this is the reality wow did you just hear that line and I'm telling you we have lines today that are just precious the natural state of the Jewish people is Unity what creates this Unity is sin and that is what happened on the story of the mosenu when he came down he saw Arrow 15 keep he saw that although it seemed like they all gather together to do the mosu in his Keen eyes was able to see this is not a gathering of the people this is a say it a mob exactly very well stated it's a mob he realized this cannot be Unity because Unity is rooted in k you can have thousands of people together and not be unified MOS what did mosu want to do he wanted to unify them around the around kadus around building the mishad so again we spoke about chabas two aspects now it's a t of the aspect were like 2A if you had I work in uh in the outline form my whole life I always say to my kids after 120 years will my Tombstone be an outline form you know that's how I I think yes know says thats it's continuation I'm gonna get to it I'm gonna get to it I'm gonna get to it just but you're doing good but I'm not there yet okay great is stronger if you stop and think of it good of I'm saying would say also were alsoi here okay okay so this is one 2A that this is a t of the to be how this is a ton forel it's really a world World in its own it and it's a little bit complicated not difficult complicated the reason I'm bringing it because I think the upshot of this piece has a tremendous impact on our lives on a on a very real level and I like to be real within my uh you know up there world so I just want to bring this idea of of uz meski that's South I'm in 16 I'm flying through 16 he says in the arrow before receiving the Ten Commandments at Mount Si the Jewish people were called upon to prepare themselves in three ways they abstained from maral relations they set up boundaries so they couldn't climb the mountain and they encamped in absolute Unity that was the preparation for for M Hari there was nothing incidental about these three preparation these had to do with being able to come back to Adam Harish before the to be absolutely free arrow in 17 and in order to reach this level ofus the Jewish people had overcome three fundamental human weaknesses TAA lust Kenna jealousy and what's its friend covod hoiness persuing one's desires and sub cutting to lust indicates a breakdown of man's relationship with himself rather than his intellect overcoming his animalistic Incarnation one who follows desires allows the animal within him to rule the second weakness succumbing to jealousy indicates a breakdown of man's relationship with fellow man and the third weakness htin indicates a brakess in your relationship with Hashem you and I can't live in the same place in order to be able to come to Mount Si they had to abstain from matter relations was a remedy for their lust the unity was a remedy of jealousy and not going up Mount Si this a was remedy their hoiness had they were had they been able to keep to this level we would have been free for all time let's go back to Adam Harish when he when they ate of the tree it was the breakdown in all three levels you'll be like God well that was a breakdown between man and God's relationship she saw the fruit that was good well that was lost man's relationship to self and this is the greatest one she did didn't want to keep it for herself cuz she didn't want somebody else to marry her husband and that was jealousy and a breakdown in the man towi relationship not want somebody else she didn't want to have punishment alone oh okay I I oh you got that okay good okay good no I don't want anyone to marry your husband either okay it's cool we're on the same page okay okay good thanks for asking Hashem in his kindness try to rectify this from the beginning of time kind in heaven was supposed to rectify jealousy didn't work the uh times of Noah was try to rectify what lust desire didn't work the migdal B was supposed to try to rectify what Hess didn't work these three are the what gets us at all times now we understand that in at the time of theel you had this as well first they when the arrow in 19 they murdered and the elders and that was a return to jeal y a breakdown in the relationship with her fellow man eating and drinking and all that went with the worship of the calf was a return to lust and uh most raenu was trying to what and worshiping the calf was obviously breakdown of hoiness M raenu was trying now to bring us back to the level you had yum Kipper yum Kipper you weren't allowed to eat and drink that's lust you had uh the uh construction of the mishan sered to rectify the golden calf the Jewish people returned all glory to God the one remaining area requiring rectification was jealousy and that is unifying the people together so this was the grand finale in order to try to bring the people together in order to rectify the sin of the Gilden calf to bring us back to Mad to bring us back to Adam PRI to bring us back to the way Hashem envisioned the world why am I bringing this idea for one reason when a person wants to work on themselves in any chuva area a good place to start is in a dimension of one of these areas Ken TAA and cavod remove a person from this world the way to work and you know people say there's so much to work on where do I begin here's a good place to begin this is what we needed before madari and this is what we need in our own lives to build us up it's not like I will never be jealous take one area of jealousy one area of tyer one area in a small area this is where to begin question so excellent how would you work on covod in one's life who would like to suggest is that your question yeah okay there's there's a lot what would you suggest covo before I offer anyone want to offer how do we work on covero it's an excellent question it's like a personal um thing that you're working on everybody's working on a different great so let's give some suggestions don't think that did it okay so one thing is that my mindset when I speak about doing something it's not hey look what I just did I was to do this I don't take all the glory and honor for myself could you hear that yeah okay that's one idea excellent what what did you say to your mother be good to your mother-in-law moving on anyone else want to suggest personal that is very personal her afterwards yeah points in other people and not feel threatened than you okay good good excellent if you work in your Muna then so much of this just what FS the other the other practical aspect I would give you is um you know again I work with 18 year olds most of my most of my uh week so I will have the following scenario a girl will come in and she'll be overly tired and she'll make sure I know she's overly tired I don't want to be too dramatic here but if you work with 18y olds you can use your imagination and she'll make sure that I will realize she's overly tired so that I will ask her Sarah you look so tired why are you tired and it was like oh Mrs Smiles I'm so happy you asked do you know why I'm so tired no I don't know would you want to tell me yeah I would like to share with you do you know last night I was up the entire night in sedic with a baby who I let the mother go home so that I could be with wow Sarah that is so amazing you're such a sedus did I answer your question that you can do a Mitzvah without what without without advertising it that's working on cot I don't need everyone to say wow I can do things quietly and I say this to my students at least once a day do something without anyone knowing that you did it it's working on your covero because we want people to say what we're such a world where everybody yes want to know everything like Facebook like you burp and then you have to highlight it it's like you know years ago you wanted privacy today you're upset people don't know everything about you so I appreciate what you're saying my status I didn't know what the status was I thought a status a status was I bought a new house I you know what I mean your status like right so that's an excellent point that she's making in today's social media kavod is very much running after how many likes I have and how many friends I have a and and and covo is about being uh aware of this that I don't need to run after it that help at all yeah no I get you get it I get it okay you know life yeah it's it's a process okay third idea oh my third idea of so we have two a is chish 2 b these are the components of kin and kavo that had were rectified before kabala Torah that had to be rectified once again after we got forgiven to see it's a fascinating essay and I just want to highlight one or two the inav or David where he speaks about when mosu is getting forgiveness for the people Hashem offers you know what let's destroy the people and I'll make a nation just for from you I have a great idea you'll be the nation to this mosha raain responded third paragraph in 21 Master of the world if a chair that rests on three legs cannot stand before you when you're angry right the three legs are the osim um then then certainly a chair that's held up by only one leg will not be able to stand it's clear then that the continued existence of am Isel the fact that was able to avoid Annihilation was only because of the cloud the massive Unified multitude of the Jewish people hem expressed his willingness to establish a nation from The Offspring of Moshe and mosha argued that a nation empowered by a single founding father would not last a nation that stems from an individual cannot survive only a nation that stems from a seore can endure an eternal existence now here's the punchline at the time when a keshu forgave the Jewish Nation for the sin of the golden Cal he issued the command to erect the mishkan and the Jews were commanded to bring the gold and the silver good let the gold be an atonement since am isel's entire existence after was based only on the power of life that stends from its seore Dimension we can conclude that the building of mishan must be a seore based effort and here the uh reason for H is you can't have an atonement for the as individuals the atonement happen because we come from a group and this is what gives us our our koak and here says R huad in 22 in the dot hashem's forgiveness for the sin of the ago became complete here's the punchline by endowing the nation with the status of a seore this is fascinating until now what's the difference between a and the efforts of a collection of individuals exactly does it mean does it mean no no because this was came before that's why I'm asking does it mean that all these individuals are have these individual desire to do whatever like they're not focused you could say it that way or alternatively you could say that each one had the capacity to bring godliness in them and therefore didn't need each other now after the which was par truma we spoke about this we now need each other to bring down and now we are endowed with the concept called SE which means we need to work together as a unit to be able to bring sha into our lives individuals themselves don't have this capacity which helps us explain perhaps in my mind and I may be wrong in this in last week's paraa we have mostu seeing the back of Hashem and not the front and Hashem teaching him the how does the med describe that event it says hasem enra himself with a Talis like a what all right leave it's filling out but good good good good as a what what's the rest of the meas he wrapped himself in a Talis as aore and a the language of and says let me teach you the the this aspect that is thees there's idea of a there's an idea of one person helping the cloud Reach This level of connection collectivity to be able to bring Shina down that didn't exist beforehand that's the vako that's the unity that we need that we're able to recognize that we are now aor and that's the ton of the ego which was a part of disunity fact that women are not counted as does have to they participate um I know it's probably no it has to do with they didn't partic participate in the but you are correct that that there is this idea of and the women weren't there yes there is that connection right 100% so also you would think that the women usually will not take credit but the women are usually very group oriented that they like to work and not which is next week's par the the they used to gather to learn by the thing it is a group effort yeah they're acting as a mob not as a seber but they're still together so I'm not impressed by that togetherness that's what we're saying when individuals come together but they're not really coming together it's not coming together so it's only after 100% and now we're at seore now we're at seore idea number three let's move here in terms of we need it for the mishkan The mishan Source 24 let's move a little bit faster the mishkan is built on it's interesting by schl is when SCH built the bdash he also gathered the people together where does this Unity come from so rice 25 through 20 through 27 we'll do outside he says the the Bas the place of the B mikdash was established by yobu what happened when yov went to sleep that night he took the 12 Stones and the 12 Stones turned into what one stone Yakov represents the Y Isel being able to bring K Israel together as one that's the foundation of the B mdash it's not by accident as well in 26 that the bar underneath the mishan was the staff of mosh of of yobu it's that Unity which is what the mishkan is all about in order to be able to really bring hashem's presence down you need to have the people coming together now I want us to listen to this piece remember I told you that there are a few lines here that are worth gold here's one of them the arrow in 27 the Botana is in his osses listen to this line Arrow K I heard this from my teachers if you were to find an angel and that's getting back to your comment that a group is 10 right if you were to find an angel standing among 10 Jews even if these 10 Jews were what not saying Tor they were just a SE or what standing together in overwhelming a and fear would overcome this small from the that is found over these 10 Jews together that he would lose the would lose it's identity it would it would just you know evaporate that's the power of the Jewish people together can you imagine if what if we were to focus on Torah 28 who know before the sin of the golden calf you're right every Jew had the ability to have the on them now we need to have what we need the group we need theor and again we spoke about sadik we need everybody together we need to really come together to be able to bring down the now keep in mind why is it so important for the mishkan to have the so this answer is the Ron's question in 29 if you hold like the raban that the mishkan is a continuation of har and the whole idea of har was what so clearly now that mosu is building the mishan which is a continuation of hard SII what is an imperative that the people come together so what does he do vak he brings them together now I just want to make a very important Point here and this is Rabbi eisenberger in 31 when we're talking about a seor and indeed he quotes at length in Shalom the SLB who speaks about how before a Mitzvah will say Bame call is I'm doing this connecting myself to what to everyone which is a fascinating idea because I can't really bring Thea down but I can bring him down with what with everyone together so it's that mindset of I need everyone together he said and I want to learn this together in 31 Le exclusiv which is a very fancy Hebrew word for exclusive the human nature is we like to stand out we like to be different and he says one has to recognize in AAS Hashem this idea of exclusivity is real and again it's not what we're looking for and the example that he gives is the whole SCH is daving and you decide that you're going to stand in the hallway and you're going to sing psuk to zimra on your own now singing PUK to zimra on your own is a beautiful idea but if the whole seore is staving together where should you be with it seore if the whole group is doing something together you shouldn't what you shouldn't be separate you know another idea would be let's sayaba there's an in of saying of to right so if let's say group of women's come together and they divide up to helm this row will say Al to V and this row Zion to and this row and you sit there and say no I'm going to say the whole book of tillum by myself that's very nice but if the whole group am I making sense is saying to hilum this way then what should you do at this point join them you want to stay up an extra two hours and say it by yourself to hate but if you've joined the group then do with the group there there is this aspect that we should we should connect with kalal Israel and here's the punchline for us in 32 he says particularly now when we're preparing for Nissan it's about a group effort and he says what enabled us to leave Egypt Unity when the Jewish people left Egypt they only had one Mitzvah in their hand 33 and this was more beloved to hem than aund Mitzvah what was this one Mitzvah they joined together the bre and they had a covenant to help each other out you know it's so easy in Nissan to get so overwhelmed with our own yeah that we forget the needs of others and this is a time more than ever that we have to look over our shoulder and say what does that person need how can I help this person and be creative what that is it could be help financially it could be help emotionally you know again I don't want to give examples but let's be creative you know someone's going through a very hard time this year pesak may bring up certain what you know triggers and emotions be sensitive to that person give them a little bit more attention at this time they must be going through a hard time that's what it's about that's what the Jewish people are about my friends we're going to jump to the end 41 and 42 you need a leader you need someone to help us uh put pull everyone together yeah are you um volunteering it's an important thing and that's what we're missing when you don't have that leadership then people don't even know how to pull themselves together it's well stated that was that was the whole relationship [Music] they finally let's summarize what we've SE in our final idea vaka for shabas shabas you need to learn Torah together chabas is a time where you have to take it's not enough to have the shabas but why am I doing what I'm doing understanding what I'm doing what I'm doing to or connect the the day with its meaning with the with giving us a deeper richer understanding shabas we're the Beno of the of the of of Ben is benzo we have responsibility of mutual responsibility that if there is a moall with 70,000 people you know going that's opening on chabas there is a responsibility of all of cville I didn't say by throwing stones but there is a responsibility to to uh you know it's that story I'm sorry I know we don't I still have five minutes so just work with me there's a story about the bus station being open in Yim on chabas are you familiar with this story let me just share the story and and I'm a little bit um ezar whitesman was the head of uh transportation and he was keen on having the bus station open in Yim on chabas and people came and people came and he said nothing doing this is not just a Jewish City it's a Universal City it's not just for from people you get the speech I don't need to tell it to you there will be a bus station open on chabas and we will have buses and a delegation of ranim came to him and he said I've heard you I've heard you I've heard you I'm not interested then I forgot which Rabbi it was said to him I come from the same place where your parents came from and I can't tell you where you know the story and and um I I believe it was uh related to where of Aron of Carlin was and um and he says you know there was a great holy Rabbi raron of Carlin who came from that area and raron of Carin composed this beautiful nigan called K now I I am limited right now because I know men listen to this recording so I am not going to sing otherwise you would have performed for us right no I leave that for the people downstairs to perform I'm toned up but listen closely so so listen closely he says and um do you remember this tune and in there's one line in the that's repeated over and over again uh what's the line yeah Shas do you know yeah do you know okay so so he began to humet this Rabbi that line and began to sing it over and over again and as a whitesman closed his eyes and started to cry he went back to his childhood where he remembered what this this I say anyone who hears the of K if you don't know it Google it you can't be you can't not be aam Rashid it just goes straight to your heart and and he played it he he sang it a few times and he says the bus station will not be open on chavas there is it's very Soulful and there's one line that repeats itself over over again it's the but it is so [Music] um it's no shab it and saved y fascinating isn't it yeah anyway that was chabas I know where I got lost that was chabas shabas learning Torah together shabas we have oh was a mutual responsibility that's where I got lost with the story I now know exactly where I was in my outline then we have 2A we have the T of the that is 2b is that's what we need to work on in our lives to see this is when we became Aur the aspect happened at the um after and therefore vak that's the that's the uh byproduct third idea is no the mishan itself is is is is the continuation of the uh M SII and and you need to have the se you need to be there I want to end in in the very time we don't have with no why did mosenu gather the people had nothing to do with shabas and had nothing to do with the mun it had to do with one of two things div Isel from muds in 41 listen to this it is precious mosha rinu just spent three rounds of 40 days in shamayim getting forgiveness he was not with the people what did he want to do when he finally got forgiveness he just wanted to be with them it's like a parent who's away from their family for a long time and all they just want to be is what with their kids I just want to be together what he did move his tent but he was still with the people right it says that after he came down v m he went straight to the people all he was really interested in was the people and that's such a beautiful idea of the love of mosenu to the people and the final idea and this is a great place to end the next two weeks of we're going to be doing PES next week hopefully a general she and then the following week a who knows and then after that who knows who knows what's going to be B thr listen to 42 we began with this mosu gathers them together to do it but he doesn't say what they're supposed to do right it just says and said to them these are the things hasem commanded to do them but doesn't say what do you know what to do what should you do remain as a unit the message is Aus nothing to do with shabas necessarily nothing to do with the mishkan lassos loros for future Generations the key is come together be a group that works together and that is the galic idea of the gr and with this we will conclude we say in our daving in the beginning the first and will bring a redeemer to their children's children for his sake and then the next word we say is Bava so we normally understand Bava means that what with hashem's love he will te us no no no in what way will Hashem be May when we are when we love each other that is the key of bringing and that's the message that mosenu is teaching us and that was the message we learned at purm story which is that they were able to gather together we had the of of of of we have to take that pitch of purum bring it into Nissan bring it into pesak that is
