it's time for rabbi mankiewicz weekly
Torah lesson a place where life's most
difficult questions are answered here
with his spiritual perspective and
insight
rabbi megawatts welcome to this week's
Torah lesson this week's Torah portion
is poshest rumah the question of the
week is why is it important to go out of
our comfort zone so in this week's Torah
portion Ponchatoula we read right in the
beginning with God commands the Jewish
people to make a mikdash to make a holy
sanctuary and God says in that sanctuary
I'm going to make a shark on TV so come
I will come dwell dear now the Torah
doesn't say mr. hunting was so cool in
that specific mimic - but it says the
shark hunting is so calm I'll dwell on
them plural there's one Nick - there's
one sanctuary but we know that it's
explaining mysticism because every
single human being the soul comes
referring to every single human being
every single human being could make a
mikdash everyone can make a sanctuary
out of their own life so in other words
how do you make a sanctuary
out of your lives you have to look at
what was in the temple what was in the
MiG - and those items have a spiritual
place within you and that is your goal
to make every one of those items that
was in the MiG - which is in your
spiritual psyche in your spiritual life
to make that a place for God so let's
look at the first item the Torah tells
us to make the Torah says to make an ark
and the first ingredient the tourist has
to make the ark with it says I'd say
shetan now anti-cheating refers to
acacia wood but what's interesting is
that the name for acacia in in in the
Torah is called cheating what a sheet
they mean it comes from the word as
explained in mysticism it comes from the
word of sous-sous is basically illogical
in a good way like for example the
stories in the Talmud people that would
dance at weddings and make the bride and
groom extremely happy and they were XLE
and they turn the Torah uses the Talmud
uses a stone they were actually in other
words you there's a normal way to behave
but when you want to make someone
extremely happy sometimes you have to go
like anis mode in a positive way and
there's nothing sometimes you want to do
something and you have your normal way
of doing it and you just go
out of your way to do something even
amazing so you might be look like ass to
us but the reality is you're doing
something amazing and something great so
no Zerby explains so if you want to make
a sanctuary in your life and each and
every one of us lies first things we
have to think of making an ark and using
what ingredient if we want to become an
ark for God we have to use I'd say she
thing we have to do sometimes things
that are totally out of a comfort zone
in a positive way and we do that then we
could become a real big does a real
sanctuary for God so the answer the
question how do we go out of her comfort
zone to think of the first item that was
in the MCDOT which is acts a sheep with
the Ark which was made of actually
shetan and means doing things out
of our norm and we do things out of our
norm then we will have the opportunity
to go out of our comfort zone and
becoming mikdash for Hakan is wonderful
