give something it's not true you can
tune in even if you didn't give you
should just feel terribly guilty you
should not be capable of tuning in if
you didn't contribute is what I meant to
say partially page 560 we got a lot to
cover because it is a double partial
we're going to finish the second book of
the Torah the book of shimos and we've
got a lot to share as always including
from outside I did take advantage
yesterday because I went in for a simcha
to try to buy the utepasator on viikra
was told out a print Hashem last week
after the Parsha class one of our dear
friends who attended is good friends
with the author of otseposatora and put
him on the phone with me so yesterday I
scrambled and said what am I going to do
next week I don't have the answer plus
out of print and from what I understand
it's on its way to Boca Raton Synagogue
so it's the least he can do for how much
we've promoted the safer and the
royalties that we are not asking for I'm
just joking it's a great gift and we're
grateful to him page 516
some Moshe assembles Moshe unites Moshe
calls all the Jewish people together in
order to instruct them and we've seen
this opening so many times together this
notion of vayakal of kihila of kahal of
what it means to be a community of what
it means to be a nation of what it means
to be people a people and what is the
instruction Moshe says what does Moshe
take advantage of that moment what does
he do he introduces or reintroduces
reinforces the notion of Shabbos but
before we get to that we always like to
not just review what we said in the past
you can go back and listen but new ideas
each year so
the following
so how did he do it today we've got a
phone tree Constant Contact email mass
text message WhatsApp today you've got
you can go around the drive with one of
those speakers on the top of a van
around montoy Circle how did Moshe do it
in Israel how did get everybody to come
together what was the
announcements
certainly Moshe didn't go from 10 to 10
from encampment to encampment Moshe
didn't use a megaphone to announce
everywhere no everyone Jewish people
were gathering everyone together
they were told that Moshe was speaking
and everyone gathered on their own like
Rashi writes
Moshe did not actively go out and
assemble them they assembled on their
own as a result of what of his voice of
his speaking how did that work again
rabbin Akron didn't write this
specifically or binach didn't write on
the Parsha this is a beautiful safe of a
collection of teachings by rabinach when
applied to the Parsha the divorce
is when
when it comes to Assad like a righteous
person a man or a woman
their speech their life their lifestyle
who they are it speaks so loudly it can
be heard far and wide there are people
who stand and they scream
and you could be two inches from their
nose and you have no interest in
listening and hearing and watching
because nothing about who they are how
they live resonates with you and there
are people who speak so softly but who
they are and what their life says
stretches so far and so wide low rock
bands also does
persuasiveness moshe's resonance was not
because of the volume of his voice but
because of who Moshe was and how
compelling what he had to
says
teaching even that Sadiq is experiencing
his prototus they're by themselves and
they're all alone all alone despite this
on the way up yesterday
they announced on the loudspeaker on the
plane so sorry but the entertainment
system and the Wi-Fi aren't working and
you heard a collective
like a gasp what do you mean I'm by
myself
what am I going to do nothing to watch
no connection but I'm not prepared for
that I didn't bring anything for that I
don't know what to do with that there
was like a collective panic you know
sometimes they have to announce are
there any doctors are there any mental
health professionals on the plane
who can help treat the people in panic
maybe some of them giving the parish
this year right now may be related to
the person giving the partial shoe right
now
could be in a room by himself speaking
to himself speaking to the ribana Shalom
there's no microphone there's no Wi-fi
it's not being streamed and yet it's
heard around the world because the power
and the potency of the words of the
sadak of who they are
it affects the cosmos it moves the world
how how there are righteous men and
women who aren't so articulate or
eloquent who don't speak so loudly and
yet who they are speak such volumes and
has such an enormous transformational
impact and there are orators and
charismatic personalities and they speak
so loudly and eloquently but they're so
hypocritical they're so counterfeit and
fraudulent they're so empty that they
have no impact that they have no impact
how did Moshe assemble everyone because
word got out that Moshe was speaking and
people wanted to hear people wanted to
be there people wanted to be there
today we can relate to this we can
identify with this if 200 years ago I
said someone could be sitting by
themselves in a room and people will
hear them around the world you'd say huh
what are you talking about impossible
it's absurd
but today whether it's radio a couple
weeks ago it was right by titus's yard
site who introduced the dafa shavua on
the radio not knowing how many people
were listening but later when I think it
was the military the government the FBI
was concerned what was being broadcast
and an evaluator analyzed and they found
the tens of thousands more hun 250
000 people were listening it's just
outrageous how much he was sitting by
himself in a room with a microphone and
no one knew including him if there was
even one person listening and 200 a
quarter of a million people were being
affected today the the ability that we
have for good and for bad The Bad is
anyone with an internet connection takes
a phone points it at themselves when
they're done with carpool or whatever
they are starts pontificating about the
whole world becomes an influencer has a
following who says what they're speaking
is with any Authority with any knowledge
there's good in this bad there's a
positive negative and upside and a
downside to it but that says the power
of the righteous the righteous who are
speaking righteousness
it can move over the radio waves over
the waves of spirituality people all
over can hear and that's what Rashi was
saying heyness
the righteous speak and people listen it
was heard all over here's more to say
but emphasizing how careful we have to
be with our own words realize the power
the potency of our words even when we
Think We're Alone what we speak what we
say it makes a difference in the world
it puts it out into the world the World
Hears the world listens and the world is
impacted by what we say so what did
Moshe say what did he communicate he
guided them it was a kilo was it called
and what did he say he said
six days work be done the seventh day
shall be holy for you a day of complete
rest for you for Hashem whoever does
work will be put to death Beyond
mama
you cannot start a fire in all of your
Dwelling Places when
I'm the holy Shabbos you cannot light a
new fire you cannot close a circuit
whether that's been whatever the malacha
is you cannot turn on a light you cannot
light a fire you cannot do malacha on
Shabbos this is the only malacha that's
spelled out and why is it spelled out
Allah why is it spelled that is
to complete my cloak because we're not
going to get into the londis right now
this is the only malacha spelled out the
others we had to derive whatever was
creative labor to build a mishkan was
deemed the same creative labor that was
forbidden on Shabbos so we learned from
Shabbos the 39 from Lakers mishkan from
the building of the mishkan if it was
creative enough to build a house a place
of dwelling for God that's defined as
creative labor that you should rest and
refrain from on Shabbos the exception
that we were given was havara was the
malacha of kindling a fire so the car
rights I've shared this before the
carrots understood this person quite
literally not only can you not ignite or
light a fire on Shabbos you cannot
benefit from a lit fire on Shabbos so
the car rides those who took the the
Bible literally they did not Embrace or
accept the authority of the Taurus
they sat in a cold room in a dark room
eating cold food all Shabbos because
they rejected the rabbinic
interpretation this means you cannot
start a fire but you can benefit from
the fire we do that all the time I just
came from two and a half hours of garas
meetings
many on the third meeting which is when
we ask questions and one of the
questions we ask our candidates is
then you're kind of don't worry I'm not
asking you how do you make tea and
Shabbos how do you heat food on Shabbos
what food can you eat and how can you
heat it so some will say I don't know I
don't mess with that I set up food from
before Shabbos in the crock pot I leave
it that's how I eat food on Chavez so
there are difference liquid dry a Plata
a hot plate a black a radiator
that's what people up north have when
it's cold a radiator you don't know what
I'm talking about so how can you eat
food that's what we ask so the carrots
understood you can't eat food but we
reject that the Turtle says you can't
ignite a new fire you can benefit from a
lit fire so we have a crock pot
that's where children comes from I'm not
going to repeat this all we've shared in
the past years of the pasture class the
origin of challenges it's a Mitzvah to
have hot food on Shabbos
we change the clock now in the summer
mode some people only chance in the
winter not in the summer they have to
have a hot cup of tea from an urn that
was put up before Shabbos it doesn't
have to be chilling it should be a hot
food on Shabbos why because we are
affirming we are essentially testifying
we're not carites it's okay you can have
with my children I'm not a car right how
do you know I want someone to have tea
and Chambers they eat children they eat
hot food on Shabbos we're good to go
says not talking about homolytically He
suggests we can derive another lesson
it's not only talking about igniting a
fire someone who has Rage of fire in
their belly
is somebody who loses themselves to
their temper to anger
says
he says when are we most predisposed
when are we most open when does anger
flare the most in a Jewish home from
midday Friday
through Friday night
did you set the table did you put up the
life I told you to clean those toys did
you take a shower yet I can't believe
you're coming home in the 18 minutes
again you promised me what do you mean
your dress is not you're ready and we're
making late Shabbos you said we're
making early Shabbos and people get
angry said the varu is
you cannot have fire in your heart you
can't get angry in any of your Dwelling
Places the yamashabas Shabbos is a place
of Peace Serenity calm Happiness joy
don't light a don't light a fire don't
light a fire let's start with the mega
Joseph there's so much to say we could
spend three hours on this
six days do work seventh day
is kodash for Hashem six days work six
days work work is not a concession work
is a value six days go work conquer the
world manipulate the world imitate God
by working contributing positively to
the world and then you've earned being
able to rest on the seventh day seven
days the McCourt broken it's the death
the Nations the goal we don't rest in
the seventh day so we have enough energy
to go back to work we work all six days
why
because the payoff the payday is Shabbos
wait for Shabbos we long for Shabbos our
whole life revolves around Shabbos says
the mega Joseph or Josephine
let's read that again
page 516 in the article Stone
six days to work
what could it have said
on the seventh day your utensils do not
need to rest
similar to what I was describing about
the Quran
not to suggest either of them were Karam
but they have a legitimate Locus how to
understand what many recite as the
long Kiddush
not only do we human beings that's the
ref have to rest on refrain from working
jobs what else has to rest
your animals our animals can't be
plowing a field in Shabbos our animals
have to rest on Shabbos
what else
are children
there's a long list of that which is
associated with us that needs to rest
what about Jesus Caleb do I can our
Caleb be working can my lights be on can
my technology be operating I don't mean
producing work that I'm profiting off of
but I mean can they be on can they be on
how is my hot plate turned on how is the
urn keeping the water hot for the tea
that I know how to prepare properly
learns that even in the seventh day
ain't sorry business Caleb you're Caleb
your utensils your objects your items do
not need to rest
Caleb the nearest
so that's one purpose of the VAV says
teaching another lesson listen carefully
giving you a little preview to turn
Friday into Earth shabba's turn
Wednesday which is the real error of
Shabbos because what did we say this
morning for sure Yom
when's the last time you can make
Abdullah
Tuesday so you see the previous Shabbos
ended yesterday Tuesday the next service
begins today Wednesday looking around
this is air of Shabbos today is
seriously
the peace the Tranquility the rest of
Shabbos is not a passive rest if you
would have asked me I'd say what is rest
the absence of work
turn off the lights turn off the noise
take away the to-do list and now I'm
resting rest is the absence of work or
effort but it's not Allah
is not the absence of work rest is a new
type of work rest is a form of work it's
a different work than the work we do
during the VAC during the weekday the
dresses and that says the mega Joseph is
what the Posse is teaching
six days do initiate create mold conquer
manipulate the world
how do you rest it's hard work running a
Shabbos table
ask those who prepared for and serve and
clean up who give the delivery Torah who
sing this mirrors who run the
conversation
that's a hard work that rest that rest
is hard work
and that's the work of Shabbos Shabbos
the rest is not the absence of work it
is a pivot and a different type of work
when was Adam created
how do you know this where do you see
this says the negative a brilliant Raya
brilliant evidence where do you see this
when was Adam created which day of the
week sixth day says the sugar correctly
which day is sixth day which was
Friday
now I don't understand if you only get
Shabbos after work
so when should Adam have created what
should he have to earn
we create them on Sunday Shabbos let
them work for six days and then I'll get
a shamas
term of a clause
what do you need a Shabbos to rest from
his work what work did he do
if Shabbos if the rest of Shabbos is the
cessation refraining abstaining resting
from work then you should have to work
in order to be entitled to rest from
that work
was created Friday afternoon what work
did he do
is not that you've earned resting from
work Shabbos is you're going from one
type of work to another type of work
today
so the first work that Adam did was the
work of making Shabbos now that you did
the holy malach
now you can do the the weekday work of
Conquering the world
a whole fundamentally different view of
Shabbos are you listening to this
it's already the afternoon you should be
wide awake you should be on your third
cup of coffee did you hear what he said
it's a fundamentally different way not
only of understanding but of observing
and keeping Shabbos Shabbos is not I
want to pass out as quickly as I can
there are homes nebuch where Friday
night Shabbos is defined as
get to sleep as quickly as possible
whatever gimmick you need set the lights
to go off 20 minutes after you made
kidish only serve one course but you put
it all out at once whatever gimmick you
need
some people Define Friday night as how
can I pass out as quickly as possible
that's the definition of a successful
Shabbos that's hello Shabbos that's a
hello Shabbos for this definition of
shamas it's
and you show off about it the next day a
kidisha
what's Shabbos it's the malacha of it's
the work of a proper rest on Shabbos
that takes work go to sleep late Friday
night because you were so busy working
so hard resting so much that you didn't
barely got to sleep
he didn't go from work during the week
to resting in Shabbos he went from being
created without working right into the
work of Manuka Shabbos is
a form of malacha it's a different type
of malacha it's the malacha of
Shabbos we move over to the otsurplo
Satora
foreign
here we learn from the sukim
the juxtaposition observed Shabbos build
the mishkan don't build the mishkan and
charms conflict between the two which
supersedes the other
Shabbos
can myself
so we've all been raised with that we
know that we know the juxtaposition and
several parshyots at the end of shemos
teach us that you don't build the
Michigan Shabbos supersedes
but do we stop to ask why
what happens in the mishkan when it's up
and running what do we do there we offer
the carbonus six days a week or seven
days a week the Cabanas were offered on
shambus the kobana supersede Shabbos so
if the Cabanas are offered on Shabbos
the Cabanas what you do in the building
supersede Shabbos why wouldn't the
building of the building supersede
Chavez it's
asking a great question great question
is
there's a difference between building
the building and offering the offerings
and this is what he says quote
um
the offering of the sacrifices was done
by human beings human effort human
creativity human initiative was human
beings that human effort that supersede
Shabbos the building of the mishkan was
divine we went through motions but it's
success and the result adult the reality
was divine was Hashem
through the material Into the Fire Punk
came out the menorah who made it who
fashioned it intricate complex details
all fashioned out of one solid block who
did that Moshe was stuck Hashem
as it says it was done sort of passively
Hashem did it that's why that doesn't
supersede so that's the ashok's
difference
human beings you do a work on shamas
this really complements the negative
nicely your carbonos
ain't gonna work on Saturday so since
he's the one who built the mishkan
therefore therefore the building of the
Michigan does not supersede does not
supersede Shabbos that is the inside of
the of the Asha of the Asha there's
another way to understand it another
very beautiful understanding based on
the native says the following
the native says
when the word says
and on the seventh day yeah
it should be for you a holy day it
should be a holy day it's not just
another day you just didn't go to work
that day but it should be a holy day the
rambam's understanding of why we have
muktsa
the whole prohibition of muksa that for
many people is what Shabbos is all about
don't touch that don't move that that's
muksa can't set that aside
it's a rabbinic Prohibition why do we
have the rabbinic prohibition of mukta
many reasons are offered but the RAM
mom's reason is because the rabbis
realize that a person could lie in bed
all day
and not to any of the 39 creative
laborers but not be really observing or
feeling the difference that it Shabbos
they could be watching touching lifting
moving all these moocs items without
utilizing them for their function and
they will not have a Shabbos atmosphere
shabba's environment so mukta was
introduced by the rabbis you can lie in
bed read a book for 25 hours
switch off between sleeping and reading
a book
and you'll say
what a great Shabbos but that's not what
the plastic says
why are we doing this what is the goal
yeah
kodash the goal is to have something
which is holy holy day or to repeat his
so what's the difference
says in last week's
means ready or not
here it comes like it or not here it
comes sunsets on Friday it is a holy day
means something different what does it
mean
you need to make some effort don't just
lie in bed passively don't just lie in
bed like some reading a book or shabba's
sleeping what are you doing to make this
a holy day what activity what
conversation what wardrobe what demeanor
what are you doing to make it a holy day
it's an entirely new dimension this is
everybody has to introduce some holy
element holy practice everyone the
fierco everyone in a way that will be
meaningful to them so what does that
mean the way it'll be meaning to them
former Webbie of mine or by Usher Bush
wrote this up in the Divine Tower and he
says the usami explains your xiaomi says
that even highly ignorants
would be meticulous to never lie on
Shabbos they were untrustworthy during
the week
did they tithe did they separate could
you eat is their cash was good
but even the amarets even the ignoramus
would never lie in Shabbos would never
lie in Shabbos your Shaman explains I
went to a talk the other night the last
Jewish gangster gave the history of the
mob and he talked about I forgot the
name of this mobster who was quasi
and he would he worked for Bugsy Siegel
and he said if possible I'd rather not
have to carry out any of the
anshabas unless it's absolutely
necessary
that was what he said
even the mob says don't kill on Shabbos
they don't kill in Shabbos your shami
says
during the weekday unclear you could eat
there Shabbos even
don't don't lie in Shabbos don't lie in
Shabbos there are those who on Shabbos
don't speak russianara I all week long
you're not supposed to speak Russian
Hara there's some people who only speak
Russian era speak the best of us they
for sure get it wrong I'm just joking
but there are people who are more
meticulous more Vigilant more careful
not to speak Russian
Mr mura quotes if not so if you learn in
KOLO all week long Shabbos the arrest is
defined by sleeping but if you're a
person who works all week long how is
your rest yeah how can you differentiate
Shabbos from Sunday what makes it a holy
day did you go to the khaburra do you go
to the afternoon
did you say it right there at the table
did you do actual learning there's no
excuse you're not going to work your
phone's not ringing off the hook you
don't have to get back to email there's
no excuse shabba's defined by extra
talmatorrah the extra tamatora
the native is introducing a subjectivity
to Shabbos until now we thought open
masaka Shabbos
and we all have to observe the same
Shabbos one of the amazing things about
our religion sometimes we have to
communicate this at these Garris
meetings the rabbi the rabbitsun they
live the same standard as everybody else
we don't have a religion that anyone's
held to a different standard same
obligations
same standard we're all supposed to be
aspiring to live the same same Shabbos
same 39 malachas same condition
same Shabbos comes along with sieve on
this possible and says
no there's a subjectivity to Shabbos
there are parts of Shabbos that are
objective they're part of shamas that
are absolute that apply equally
universally to all that the sun sets
can't do them kiddish
three meals you gotta do it but then
there's the subjective part of Shabbos
sit down as a family and you say
what's our family Shabbos experience do
we play games do we crawl into one bed
and read together do we sing obviously
every Zimmer in the book so what's our
what's our subjective
how do we make it holy what is our
attitude towards it towards its Holiness
every wise are the person among you
should come and make everything that
Hashem has commanded where how where
they learn the skills
where'd they learn the skills Kate said
no
you needed all kinds of experts artists
artisans how did Moshe know
who to pick
now today with equity and equality
everybody would have to be given a
chance
once upon a time it was merit-based once
upon a time we're erasing all the
merit-based Once Upon a Time it was
merit-based so how did Moshe know who
had the Merit the skill set to be the
wave to fulfill at a high standard for
the holiest place in the world is
you know a person has to be tested
nobody becomes an expert as much as
practice as doctors they're still
practicing medicine they haven't gotten
there yet they're still practicing but
practice makes perfect so how did mosha
know who practiced how did they practice
and did they practice before him did he
test them how did he know how did he
know
that was it he said we're looking for
Artisans we're looking for artists we're
looking for people who can weave who can
sow so seven people came and he said
great get to work build the Michigan
build a mishkan
we're doing a major Capital Improvement
please God
believe me you'll hear about it soon we
interviewed major firms Architects
contractors you don't just say who wants
to build oh you have a hammer okay here
please build it certainly not the
holiest place in the community
's nephesh he says he read something
amazing
and its author I should just say it's
author I should mention his name because
I spoke to him
so and I thank him in advance for my my
Iqra volume so he says something to me
he digs up stuff you never saw you never
heard of you never knew did you know
did you know the women in the ghetto of
Egypt well their babies were being
killed late at night in the barracks
with practice weaving and dying and
building because they had such optimism
and hope the same women who smuggled out
the instruments because they said
there'll be a time we'll need these
everybody asks Miriam and the women when
they had instruments the men ah they
just used uh they just went um
acoustical the woman had the the
they had the instruments where'd they
get them from
chrysium seven on the other side they
had them where'd they get them from they
brought them with them why would you
bring instruments with you you know that
guy who always has a guitar in his back
wherever he goes he's confident there'll
be an opportunity to play somewhere
something to be to celebrate someone
give them an excuse to strum
so the women walked around with
instruments because they said Hashem
this isn't going to last he's going to
turn things around we're gonna have
Redemption it's gonna be amazing and we
need to have instruments on end so those
same women who had that same optimism
and the same belief will come back to
this because they're going to get
rewarded for that optimism for the
holiday about optimism will come back to
so the same women he dug this up in a
safe mashiva's nephesh
written by Roberta
who said that these women practiced they
didn't just show up and say I volunteer
I'll do Moshe knew they had a reputation
they had a name they already
distinguished themselves because they
practiced in mitraim
um
it is similar to
I would get beaten up for saying this
in the old city anyone ever been there
you take the tour
I once made the mistake of saying to one
of the rabbis of the um
oh you're the ones who have the replica
of the menorah in the old city right
I almost have to pick him up off the
floor he said replica
we're talking about replica that's the
next menorah we built a menorah that's
eligible to be the menorah of the base
it was like such an insult I said oh
that's the replica that's the model
that's kiilu it's like no that's that's
the real deal what are you talking about
is busy building we're busy dominating
forth thinking about under the palm
trees of Boca they're busy building the
Calum of the third base
confident they're not replicas they're
not models they're going to be put into
use so these righteous men and women in
mitzrayim said you know there's going to
be a mish gun this goes to the whole
debate
the chronology of the Torah was the only
response they know it was it
something a priori was going to be built
let's leave aside that debate for the
moment but this answer certainly
suggests they knew it was going to be
built and they were practicing they were
getting ready for that big day
in fact
says what we've heard of but I bet you
never heard this from him in the start
of Moshe on our Parsha he says the
following is
awesome
did you know
the Jewish people first built a trial
Michigan before they built the real
thing
they showed up and they said we could do
it we can weave we can build we can sow
we can die he said you're good okay here
here's some fake materials build a model
try it show it to me let me examine it
if you're good to go I'll give you the
real deal
I'll tell you when when I'm inside a
condition at a wedding I learned this
the hard way early on others learned it
from me
when someone is given the keyboard of
science to time the tsuba have a little
piece of paper a pen say first write
your name out for me let me just see
then you could write it why do you do
that you'd be shocked
it's a separate commentary I don't have
time to get into now but you'd be
shocked how many people went through 12
years of Jewish Education who don't know
how to spell their own name in Hebrew
some are complicated it's understandable
they don't know others
they never wrote their name in Hebrew
they get an Alia they just give their
name
so
sometimes to not embarrass people if I
know a little bit about the muscle
what's the Hebrew name let me write it
out for you and then you could copy it
once I said the person who was given the
keyboard of signing on xuba sign here he
put his John Hancock like he was signing
a mortgage document he signed in English
so now I always give Samosa says to them
oh you're not a doll you know how to
weave you know how to sew
why don't you try here here's some
materials play over here let me see how
you do oh you says some sofa that most
tried them and tested them only once
they were good he gave them the real
Goods only then did he give them the
real materials and he said now build the
real thing now but anyone ever hear that
before
wild no wild wild
the urbanization
he writes quote
um
the way Moshe tested whether they were
competent was he would start the
commandment and if they intuited how it
concluded he knew they were the one
so you didn't tell them explicitly
entirely what to do he began this is
what's needed if they intuited the
conclusion Moshe said you're good to go
you're the one unbelievable no keep
going

the men came with the women it's a funny
language what is
IM the man came with the women
everyone is heart motivated him brought
bracelets and nose rings and rings and
body ornaments all sort of gold
ornaments every man who raised up
an offering of gold to Hashem
in a safer safer gematrios
anyone have a copy of that has anyone
ever heard of them
apparently has a safer cold say for
gamatrios I know I'm in amarets at least
you could trust me in Shabbos but I
didn't know that had to save her because
of the virus
there's a shift in the language
the masculine anyone with a Generous
Heart mask in Libo yve is
feminine why do we go from the masculine
to the feminine listen to what he says
you know why what you see from here what
does it mean the Posse listen carefully
fundraisers
and therefore
you can't ask a man to donate without
his wife present
and a man should never agree to give
without the permission of his wife
how do you like that for such a
misogynistic religion
we had a woman's day before back when we
used to be able to define a woman Zao
called the Dively boiviera libova libala
shame Hashem
only when his heart and her heart are
both holy in it W H and H then then you
can give it
and says why is he bringing this down
into safer gametrios because
is the Gematria of who and he
him and her he and her only when both
parties
now you'll say and this is wild
it's written at a time women didn't have
their own accounts and their own income
their own livelihood
fascinating
our whole financial structure today is
different than the way hazal understood
it
is
what it corresponds with we have
entirely different different way we do
it today
but even when the income was all
considered to be demands and it was his
it's used as he wished he had to support
his wife with mizonos but it was his
even then it was defined as half hers to
decide where it goes a couple should not
be getting to stucco without both
agreeing together
it should say yavi
go back to Pastor K again we have this
change in the grammar
Hashem
why do we have the shift says the
baloturum there
is
the jewelry that was being donated
husbands can't raid the Vault don't go
raid the safety deposit box don't go
raid her jewelry box and donate all of
her jewelry without her permission he
wasn't entitled didn't have license
didn't have a right she has to be on
board she has to be on board
he cannot give her things without but
the review is going even further because
maybe I'll say the battle term is
obvious he can't give her jewelry
without her permission maybe that part's
obvious but about term goes the review
goes further and says he can't even give
his things he shouldn't donate his
cufflinks shouldn't donate his watch he
shouldn't donate his hard-earned income
without his wife's permission without
his wife's permission
they both go together they come together
and you need both of their permission
both of their permission together next
possible
they brought these different ingredients
the different colored materials and they
say foreign
when it came to the Michigan before the
women would weave all that would go into
the curtains and the materials of the
mishkan first they would immerse in the
Mikvah am said what's the REM is
take those three words out of contextavu
lame
tests spells
is
so you see that whatever you do a holy
activity we have a minute that a son
that goes to the mecca before they
before the rasandak before you do a holy
act about okay before they blow the
chauffeur many have accustomed to go to
the nikvah the women before they would
weave before if you're making villain so
far goes to the Mikvah making a Talus go
to the Mikvah
the notion of going to the Mikvah before
a holy activity is
him all the women in his Hearts inspired
them with wisdom spun the goat hair the
two are rights
that women are rewarded we alluded to
this a moment ago women are awarded
but women more than men refrain from
malach doesn't mean
they could use
technology it means malacha don't do
laundry don't cook dinner men should
make dinner which means men should buy
dinner that night of rashford that night
of rush because
why where'd this come from
when and why were women awarded with
rashford why is that the women's holiday
we have a woman's day we don't have a
one day a year International women's day
we have it every month women's day is
the laundry no carpool no dinner
which basically means you have neglected
children who are starving every Russian
so why were women given this
tour says he heard a reason from his
brother
was given to the Jewish people
corresponding with
avram
corresponds with
because we blow the chauffeur of Matan
Torah was the chauffeur from the realm
of Yitzhak and the Yakov with
sukkas because after the reunion with
Asaf yaakov went where
to sucker his flock sukkas so we covered
the three
regalem what about the twelve roshkoshes
who does that go to
Connecticut
the 12 tribes what happened
when the 12 tribes
were unfaithful to Hashem and
contributed to the building of the
golden calf Shem took our Scottish away
from them and gave instead to women and
why did women get it instead because
they they didn't contribute to the ego
they ran with alacrity and Zeal and
enthusiasm to give to the mishkan but
they hesitated and paused and made
excuses and did not give to thee to the
building of the of the eagle of the
golden calf of the golden calf so
what's the deeper connection
a lot to say on this but we're going to
run out of time so I'll tell you what's
the deeper connection
is that an arbitrary award
can't give women something else
so what does our Scottish celebrate how
does Rose Quarter celebrate it
you ever go outside on look up at the
Moon
you probably not did immediately but
three days later you did when you said
how big is the moon onesh
if you're asking me to make a holiday
about the moon I would make that holiday
when the moon is full and the Moon is
bright the Moon is hold the Moon is
complete and the Moon is reflective of
the sun when do we make the holiday of
the moon when you could barely see the
moon it is a tiny
almost
negligible sliver could barely see the
moon and that's our holiday of the Moon
because what is the holiday of the Moon
celebrate
we are not a people of the Sun the
Jewish people are a lunar people not a
solar people we follow the lunar
calendar not the solar calendar because
we are similar to the moon and in what
way are we similar to the Moon the Moon
waxes and wanes the moon grows large and
the moon grows small the moon has ups
and the moon has Downs the Moon is a
roller coaster and that is the Jewish
story that is our history that is who we
are that is how we live
that's the story of David Amela when we
look up at that movie and we sing
because our story is like that Moon that
even when you can barely see it and
discern it even when it's a small sliver
we with hope and optimism and Faith know
it will grow full yet again just wait
the passage of time with faith it will
grow full yet again who displayed that
faith that optimism that hope women when
they said what's the Russia given to his
ego because motion didn't come about you
buffoons you miscalculated you're
rushing fools you're rushing into
something terribly wrong patience have
patience have hope have optimism have
faith
women were therefore given rosh khodesh
not as an arbitrary award we had to give
him something well let's see I have our
scores left over because I took it away
from those guys ah let's give it to them
no it was by design it was specifically
because of what roshkosh represents and
celebrates that women were given it uh
specifically as an award for not giving
to
the eggo and running to give to thee to
the building of the Mishka good let's
keep going
it's got a couple of proportions
because we have a double partial double
whammy
page 513 in the Articles
these are the reckonings of the mishkan
the mishkan of edus of testimony which
were reckoned and Moshe is bidding Moshe
did a Moshe took a
um
no
what do you do
all right thank you thank you sir he
didn't order it
he didn't order
do you xiaomi has an amazing ideal
answer plus a total point system you
xiaomi
how many times does it says
wow a bunch of bikim and yoshima here
unbelievable 18 times 18 times
is a redundancy as a repetition of
the fundamental difference of famous
inside of the basal Levy fundamental
difference is Truman titava just gave us
the instructions why
we've developed that length other times
because it is the antidote the response
we tried to do it our way
like
who's that singer he did it his way
Frank Sinatra I can't tell you how many
funerals I've been to that was the
husband given for somebody my father
like Frank Sinatra he did it his way
they put on the matseiva nobody should
Aspire for that to be your husband
so so they did it their way
we did it our way we craved the tangible
connection to hashemi was nowhere to be
found Moshe was gone he thought Moshe
was lost we lost our intermediary we
said what do we do now
I don't know anyone have any ideas we
tried to do it our way Hashem says well
not so fast that's a legitimate need I'm
going to give you a mesh gun a physical
manifestation something tangible that's
legitimate but Hashem validated that
need but he said you got to do it the
way I say religion is not for your
Innovation and creativity it's not
subjective don't make it up for what
feels good
Hashem
Shem prescribes for us you don't go to
the doctor and say you know what I'll
take two of these and three of those and
I this one makes more sense to me
doctors I went to medical school I
invented the medicine what are you doing
what are you doing says I created this
world I program this world than you and
everything in it and this is my
prescription you've got to follow it to
a t there is room for creativity within
religion but within the boundaries
were worth saying and repeating what we
added y all to repeat over and over
again
you have to do it the way Hashem said we
can't push the boundary too far we can't
be too creative it has to be part of the
Minnesota the Minnesota community
so how many times does this expression
18. and the Yoshimi says that's why we
have a shimono Esther that's made up of
18 brachos
says
listen what he says it's a beautiful
idea I gave you a bonus turn Friday into
air Shabbos I'm giving you a bonus
sitter snippet what are we saying with
every
Hashem we thought we could do it our way
we ignored you we neglected you we're
disobedient to you we thought we could
do it our way we're back to say
by saying
corresponding with the 18 times Hashem
we are surrendering we're not going to
do it our way
we're doing it your way is that
incredible every amida we take three
steps forward and we say in between
chakras and minha so sorry I tried to do
it my way I'm back to tell you I'm ready
to do it your way between
chakras we keep messing up we keep
slipping up
we keep thinking we can do it our way
we're back to say I'm back Hashem please
the same way you were ultimately you
were forgiving of the door mid bar you
let it go you just reminded him 18 times
your way we're here we get the message
18 times zero way please be forgiving of
us too fantastic no a new kavana for
shimono esri each time you say sorry
foreign
what's going on over here a very
beautiful idea
obligators a day
a hundred blockers mayor Brothers
if you say 19 Broncos times three
chakras you're well on your way a few
Asher yatsars you're well on your way a
couple cups of coffee if you're benched
get some broccols in there you're good
to go 100 Brothers every day what's the
source where did we learn that from the
government
learns
you the Jewish people what does God ask
from you says Rashi not ma but what does
God ask from us don't read it
he asked us for a hundreds a day
tells us there was a plague there was a
pandemic in your shalim a hundred people
died a day said
what's the antidote vaccine what else a
hundred Brothers a day ended the
pandemic Kobo says modim
Kobo says modem is the Gematria of a
hundred you see that being grateful a
hundred times a day 100 times a day the
baloturum says you know where you learn
it from
which is why I'm bringing it up
we just read where do you see it there
where do you appear there
foreign
sockets have to do with a hundred
Brothers every day
says just like if you remove a socket
the boards have nothing holding them in
place what happens
collapse implosion if you omit the
brachos if you skip a hundred times a
day interrupting your data remember
there's a Hashem
before you ate after you ate you came
out of the bathroom everything worked
100 times a day you remember there's a
Hashem you take away those sockets your
life implodes it falls apart
the core the foundation of serving
Hashem is to actually think about what
you're saying when you make a shackle
caffeinate with kavana or amuna cups you
gotta have cavana when you make a bracha
you gotta think about what you're saying
you know how fortunate how lucky you are
I feel like this is one of the lessons I
don't think we've learned it of the of
the of Corona it's actually one of the
lessons we're still learning in my
lifetime
in my lifetime
we've experienced that an American
someone living in the Western World
could go to a store and couldn't afford
to buy what was on the Shelf
but I had never experienced that there
wouldn't be on the Shelf
that you'd run out of things on the
Shelf the whole notion of supply chain
issues that we have
and even if you're not directly affected
by supplying you're indirectly affected
your price of mayonnaise is a supply
chain issue
the manufacturing of building all these
issues are supply chain issues so every
beer has coffee
I have the ingredients to have a
delicious meal I was able to go to the
stores and throw things on the shelves
the Cabana we should have said
Hashem in our time is
gratitude 100 100 times a day stop and
say wow so grateful I'm so thankful and
I'm so committed to connecting to you
says how are these sockets paid for
what paid for these hundred sockets
a hundred sockets what paid for them
they came equally from every person
because giving a half shows were all
equal before Hashem and everyone has to
contribute to an environment and
atmosphere a culture of seeing and
thanking Hashem
held up the mishkan and a hundred
Brothers a day hold up the mishkan of
Our Lives
we're finishing safer shmos and these
succumb began
build for me a sanctuary ah we don't
have the best to make this today we do
where is it in every one of us the
hundred sockets held up the mishkan the
hundred Brothers a day hold up the
Holiness and the mishkan of Our Lives a
hundreds a day that's why the khadu
sharim says
how else can you read adonim
uh the name comes from the word Adon a
hundred times a day stop and realize
who's your master
who's the master of this world who
supplies everything in our supply chain
who is ultimately the head of the supply
chain so you see this is the antidote
any pandemic any challenge dig deeper
lean in further to concentrating a
hundred times a day a hundred times a
day
to flow into our into our lives
I'm out of time but I wanted to end with
such good stuff
we're out of time the source of saying
why do we say Shabbos
when do you omit it when do you say it
why do we have the minute six nights a
week
we finish
where did that come from comes from this
Parsha where does it come from this
parasha arashi in this parasha what's
going on with it
different Customs but we don't have time
for what to start another time in the
building of the hot sir
thank you I can't believe how many
people came on Wednesday afternoon at 1
