it's time for Rabbi minkowitz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight Rabbi minkowitz welcome to this
week's Torah lesson this week's Torah
portion is pasas Pik the question of the
week is why do people want to be blessed
so in this week's Torah portion parik
the Torah tells us about the Jewish
people completing the Tabernacle the
Torah tells us about all the gifts that
the Jewish people brought the work that
the Craftsmen have made and then the
Torah finishes off with an interesting
point the Jewish people brought the Mish
to mosha and the Torah tells
us MOS MOS blessed them and Rashi says
what was the blessing he blessed them
what's the blessing so Rashi
says it should be the will
of that the divine presence should rest
in the work of your
hands so the rebbi asked a question
simple question what is the need for the
blessing they brought the items to the
temple they put it together they made it
beautiful why did the Torah go out of
its way to tell us that moshu blessed
them and Rashi tells us not only did he
bless them but he specifically blessed
the work of their hands so the rebi
comes up with a phenomenal idea and he
says as
follows we
have the power to do things whether it's
our thought speech or action we can
create a full Tabernacle but the
Tabernacle is a physical thing if we
want the Tabernacle to be electrified
with godliness and Holiness the way that
completion takes place is when there is
a disclaimer made in the form of a
blessing
namely when utters makes that disclaimer
of the blessing that the divine presence
should rest into the mishkon that's when
the mishkon changes and gets transformed
from being a simple physical edifice
with its utens utensils to a holy and
blessed place so to answer the question
why do people want to be blessed is
because whatever you do whether it's in
your personal life in your business life
we put the technical tools down but in
order for it to be electrified
and really feel fulfilled and meaningful
and feel that God's with us we need to
draw down the spiritual Godly energy in
the form of a blessing so when someone
makes a blessing they are actually
finishing the product by creating
spiritual and godly energy in whatever
they have done this week's Torah portion
