Everyone is a Beis Hamikdash. ועשו לי מקדש ושכנתי בתוכם A Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to this week's classics to this we're going to be learning a beautiful civic discourse in the rebbe the rebels said the specific discourse in shabbos parish is truma it was the sixth day of the month of odar in the year tough shin memzayin 34 years ago the acidic discourse is based on a verse in this week's torah porsche when the torah says hashem commands his name israel and he says we are gosh you should make to me a holy place a sanctuary bishop and i will dwell amongst them so there are brings from the previous rubber when he has acidic discourse in the same verse vaseline in the year tough tough shin dalid which is approximately 77 years ago and he asked a very simple question it says the asuli mig dash you should make to me a mikdash a holy place it doesn't say mr many holy one holy place singular but then the verse continues and it says i will dwell in plural if hashem is saying to make once one holy place so i'll dwell in it in that one holy place on the other hand if it says berserk on plural so why'd you say make this one that's the question the previous server asks then he asks another question it says the asuli mignos you should make leave for referring to the hashem hashem is commanding us to make a holy place for hashem so he brings down from the famous hazal that says as follows any time it says li referring to hashem and we know hashem is infinite so the expression is it doesn't get moved because for hashem it's everlasting and and and it continues to say not but not in the world to come and and at least for example one of the examples is where it says a base of mikdos why because it says the australian mcdonald's you should make a base of mikdash and therefore the base of mikdash always existed and always will exist so the previous rabbi asked a simple question the fact is today we're in galas and the the temple is destroyed so what does it mean when we say anes doesn't get moved forever the fact is unfortunate we don't have a base in big dish today so the previous rabbit explains and he says as follows this that the verse says the asuli migdash so there's two types of base amigdas there's the physical base amigos the mishka and the base of mikdash et cetera but then there's the commandment that every single jew has to make a mikdash what does a mikdash mean practically a place of holiness which means you have to make a place where hashem is dwelling in it so therefore the previous server explains what is the mig does mean practically the base hamikdash is a holy place in the heart of every single human being but there's also a spiritual component that every one of us in our hearts our hearts should be on fire with the place where hashem dwells within it based on this so we also make this what does that mean what is the commandment to each and every one of us we should make in our heart hashem shri dwelling there so since it's singular to every single individual everyone makes their own mig dash in their in their in their heart so based on this he explains why it says plural because it's not just beside one person but it's called the israel every single person that makes a mishkan where hashem dwells within them hashem dwells and this one and that one the album and that's why it says plural so he explains like this the main purpose of the of the of a human being to make a mishkan a dwelling place for hashem which means it should be a dwelling place that godliness should dwell in your godly soul in your heart and your whole being now if hashem is dwelling within you hashem is part of your life not dwelling as a guest but hashem is in your heart every breath you take is infused with the feeling that hashem is part of your life so based on this he explains why it means never gets never never leaves it's there forever now but what happens a pile in the mig dust that's originally built that unfortunately is not here today so the questions like this when we originally built a mishkan was it a temporary abode or we built a migdash we're building it because we're planning on destroying it someone's going to destroy it no when you're originally building the mishkan and you're building where you're building the mikdash our plan wasn't to last forever so our our initial building of the michigan and the mikdash our plan and our vision is it should last forever which means we're not planning making any changes the plan is hashem is going to do all the mishkan forever hashem is going to dwell in the base and make this forever the pool unfortunately there was a destruction but when we originally built it it was built and shall last forever so the same thing also that's in the physical mishkan in the physical mikdash so the same thing the rabbit says applies to our spiritual mignos that when we want hashem to be part of our lives hashem should be in our heart hashem should be in our soul we're not just doing it okay for right now no we're doing it now and we want it to last forever we're doing it in a way with tremendous strength that the inviting and take making hashem part of our life is in a way that ain't does it's never going to stop it's always going to be there it's going to be consistent it's going to have stability so based on this the the the repre answers both questions question number one is why say say initially singular and then plural because singular is because referring to each and every one of us and plurals yes hashem will dwell in every one and the fact that anu says the fact it's not there he says no because initially when we're doing it we're doing it in a way to last forever and the spiritual level are avoided is it to last forever so then now the previous rubber uh continues in that clinic discourse and he explains that since we are commanded to build the originally the the physical base of mgdosh we're doing it on a spiritual level so therefore whatever avoid though whatever spiritual work was needed to build the original mishkan basement that's the same spiritual work we need to do that hashem should be in our hearts and our lives so for example we know in the mgdosh the rebel explains you had caleb you had vessels you had urease you had the curtains what does that mean spiritually so vessels are premius they're internal powers for example a candelabra was a place that you use to light the menorah the mizbayach with sacrifices those were internal type of services then there's the marquis in the things that were around the the walls the curtains and so on and so forth so the same thing also that applies to us spiritually as well in our spiritual work we have avoider of makif and we have avoided preemie and we do the avoid of market when we do the avoid premium that causes hashem to dwell within us what does that mean practically so the rabbit brings from the tsam zedek we know that some exotic has a book safer in its voice where he explains all the mitzvahs according to kabbalah and according to this and so also the uh the middle rubber has many many insights and he explains all the mitzvos according to this and according to kabbalah so he says as follows the main purpose of making the mig dosh on a spiritual level is so that hashem should be revealed for the jewish people again the main reason why we built the mgdosh and the mishkan on the spiritual levels essentially revealed since the purpose of hashem should be revealed so therefore the building of the mishkan and the building of the mikdash was done the same way when hashem was got revealed into the world after he created the world and it was done through which we call seder historically the way things went down in in an order of creation through the 10th street et cetera which comes down from the infinite light of hashem so the same thing also in the mixed garden and the mygdas are spiritual mcdosh it works the same way as say the histories and what does that mean practically so you said it's very simple this is quoting from the samasatic and the middle area that there's two ways the way things come down one is where you draw down or erase machine and i'll translate and the second way is you draw down or erase premium very very powerful lights they're so powerful that we cannot internalize it but we want the power on the other hand you have iris premium which are lights that we can benefit we can internalize but it's not so strong and you need both you need the iris machine so there's always a source a greater source of light that we can go ahead and reach out to but then you need iris premium the ones that you can actually internalize and benefit from and since cutters is wanted there should be a deer a dwelling place for hashem in the low physical world so there had to be not only uras makiphi him because the irishman kevin cannot go down with titanium in the low world so there had to be iris premium and just like when hashem originally created the world there was iris marquis so the same thing also when it came to the mishkan hashem created the same blueprint iris marque film iris premium external powerful lights internal lights it should be lights that come down into the physical world and that's exactly the way the michigan was built spiritually what does that mean practically again it means it's referring to the curtains which is uh him the planks which again are irish monkey from that was external energies that came into the temple and then you have the vessels the the uh the um the candelabra the showbread the the um the the alter all these ideas were called iris premium now that's when we had the temple so we accomplished it through the physical temple but what happens today the temple's destroyed and we do not have to be some industrial physical level but nevertheless every one of us can accomplish anything and everything that took place in the temple through our spiritual avoidance so we can accomplish everything that was accomplished in the temple through our spiritual work in other words practically we're able to draw down through our spiritual work the light the same powerful light that was in the basement and in the vessels of the basement because the fact is in our soul we also have urease we also have crush him what does that mean practically andrew explains the urease the curtains the crushing that were in the temple the soul has it as well what is the curtains and what is the planks of our soul so the rabbit says very simple i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate it it's the avoid doing work above intellect and i'll come back and explain explain it in one second i just want to explain first a second we'll come back and explain both and the second thing is the vessels that were in the mishkan is just like the vessels in our soul what's the vessels in our soul that's the avoid the premise the internal work of tam vadas things that are reason and logic okay so what's the rep is saying sayings like this when hashem created the world he used something which is called say the estaciolus say there is the way hashem took from the infinite light to the finite light into this world where you have external light powerful light internal light which is a little more toned down and the way we can relate to it the same thing was in the basement through the curtains and the planks and the different vessels in the temple today we don't have the temple we can accomplish it all through our spiritual work of market and panimi and the arabic explains what's market markets when we do our work above nature above intellect what is preemie when we use our our intellect to understand and comprehend things so in other words the drug is saying is like this there's two ways we can connect to god one way we connect to god is we accept we do understand we don't understand but understand and we accept now when you accept i say you explain it to me you can't explain it but you're ready to do anything what does that mean you're connecting to god above nature that's called a mock if relationship mock if means are ready to accept it's a very high level of a relationship but is it meaningful not necessarily is it enjoyable not necessarily it's it's it's it's easy it's simple there's no headaches there's no there's no challenges there's no drama there's no trauma life is simple hashem you want me to do this i'm ready to do it it's called above intellect there's pros and cons the pros are life is great the cons are you can't really meditate on it understand it comprehend it explain it it's not bad and good it's just the dynamics of it on the other hand when you connect through intellect i understand it i comprehend comprehended i meditated on it and that's amazing it's beautiful on the other hand you could understand other things as well also so where's the edge in godliness there so obviously you're understanding godliness which is great but again it's limited to what you understand on the other hand when you understand something it's limited to what you understand you're not going to do it if you don't understand it on the other hand it's going to be more enjoyable more appreciative so therefore you really need both so when you serve god you want to have both you want to be able to accept and you want to be able to understand that's the two avoid us that we can accomplish today just like what was accomplished in the temple but we're now going to go a step further and he continues on to explain that somehow they can like this based on this that we have two different spiritual works what is it what's it to recap one is just accepting above intellect and one is understanding he says based on this we'll understand a famous uh argument that took place between moisture abenu and betsala in the torah what happened in the torah in uh in the term practice truman this week so what happened was moisture bainu commanded to uh with salah who was the chief architect architect of the temple and he tells them like this you to make the temple first make the vessels and then make the planks and the ureas the curtains so but salah what did he do if he's a student he should have made what the vessels and then the planks and then the ureas he didn't do that first he went ahead and he made the urease he made the walls he made the curtains and then he made the vessels of the temple and we all know what it says in the talmud and um talmud says like this when moishrabenu to make first the vessels and then go ahead and make the the the the curtains so bizal said to moisture they know this is not the way of the world and he gave him an example he says in the world when someone's building a house so first you build a house after you build a house then you bring the vessels inside is it possible maybe that's how someone told you to do it just the way people do things in the world so uh moisture banana tells me his name was bitsal but it comes actually from two words but sale kale in the shadow of god because with sale kale you're in the shadow of god the and you're right you're right you're right you're supposed to make the the uh the house first the walls first and then you make the vessels inside now obviously we know that it's an argument with salah moshe it's not just a technical argument you make the vessels first they make the wolves first merchandise says make the you make the vessels first and then the walls with salsa you have to make the walls first the house first then the vessels there's a deeper argument so the rep itself said that someone said it explains as follows what was the argument the argument is very very simple bexallo tells moisrabenu don't you know insane in the order the way things flow from a high down to this world knows from the original infinite light from iran's life from the infinite life what what came down first to this world first comes iris machifim the external lights and afterwards you have the internal lights so therefore but saul was telling moisture let's go back to the original drawing board when hashem created the world from the infinite light he first created iris makifum and then here is premium so therefore you should have the external lights first and then the internal lights and therefore your rears have to come first the curtains have to come first which is markiv and then has to come to vessels which is pretty neat and rubber says and you can possibly add as well it also works on our spiritual service why what did we say before what what do derby explain what is the urease the curtains in our soul that's the avoider above nature above intellect above intellect what is the vessels of our soul that's the of internal avoiding the avoider which is according to intellect now what is the normal way that we connect to god what's our spiritual way of connecting to god so you start off first you're going to comprehend and then you accept you need both obviously the way you start off is you first you start off above intellect and then you go to intellect a relationship with hashem doesn't start with intellect then it goes above intellect it starts off with above intellect you're accepting and then it goes into like intellect and nervousness for example we see every single day what happens every single day the first thing you do you get up in the morning you don't say well let me think whether i agree with god or if i understand god it's not what you do the first thing you do you get up in the morning before you even watch negobias the first thing you say is moida ani what does mauditani mean i'm accepting what is accepting mean above intellect above logic and above reason that's how we start our relationship with hashem every single day and because it's above intellect the maidani from the smartest person to the most simplest person the oldest the youngest any age any gender is all the same we all accept the same way there's no difference in one acceptance over the other after you start off your day on the right foot as we say and you accept it now as your day starts then you will you yeah you meditate on god you learn some siddhas you meditate on this you will study submission which is the avoid the spiritual work of intellect comprehending god connecting to god from an intellectual perspective which is important a matter of fact then we do the we we do the prayers we do the the the pre-remember preliminary blessings we do with the sacrifices we praise god we do shema then we have the eighteen blessings ray we also do the blessings on the torah we learn torah and then we um then we learn in order to do and so on and so forth which means what there's an order there's an order of a flow now so based on this trevor explains this is the argument between betsal and moisture that what that the avoider has to be you need both you need above intellect and you need intellect but what comes first obviously that what comes first is that moisture being agreed with salah first you start off with above intellect and as the rep says the practical reality of our life is that we start from warning accepting and then we go on to understanding so based on this rabbi explains very very simple this is why it says the asuli migdash every one of us should make amigdas in our personal life will dwell with each and every one of us which means that this avoided this spiritual avoid of making amid this applies to every one of us and it supplies every single day of our life and therefore ain't as loyal it's that never stopped and like the rabbit quotes from the uh from the discourse of the previous tribe and tough that according to russia the us for the name of hashem which name of hashem the youth of kay ani hashem the most powerful name hashem and that's is referring to utk which is the shamer at sam the essence of hashem shame on the first the explicit name of hashem yoho the unique name of hashem and because it's referring to me the most powerful name of hashem therefore it's consistent and it's kind of it's it's it's it has full stability it's not never going to change and therefore aina isla ilam it's referring to the utk valve hashem which has no change now based on this driver says now he can understand something else very very profound and very deep and he says like this what does it say now what is what does this mean it means that it's hashem dwells within every single every single person so trevor says he wants to make it clear when we say every single person referring to every single person whether the person is male or female man or woman adult or child hashem dwells within every single human being and he quotes from the from the previous struggle that says when it's referring to all of all the jewish peoples against referring to men it's referring to women why because everybody is obligated to build the base of mgdosh a physically and b everyone's obligated to build the base of midnight within their heart and within their soul and everything we see clearly when it came to donate to the base of mikdash and the mishkan so it says clearly everyone participated the men participated the woman participated and matter of fact there's a certain opinions that actually that the woman gave more than the men some say that their gifts were different but the point that a certain opinion actually gave more so you see that it applies to men and women equal and not only when it comes to when the itself but but even when it comes to when hashem gave the torah parasite so rashford says the term says kois yakov so you should tell the daughters of yaakov which is referring to rashford referring to the woman and after the woman says she's telling the banana you still referring to the men so you see again clearly that learning torah and making a mikdash making a mishkan applies to every single person doesn't make a difference if you're a man or woman a woman everywhere it applies to everybody and not only that but this idea that we said to make the mig dash to make the mishkan we're talking a spiritual mix gun within our heart and within our soul it's it applies to both and never says what's the what's what's the reason why it applies to everybody because the fact is like this because building the mishkan within our heart it's one of the mitzvahs which are to mediocre it's a mix which not just by day or by night it has a certain time it's 24 7. hashem should be felt within our heart and soul 24 7. like for example there's other six minutes voice which are which are consistent for example the mitzvah of faith hashem loving hashem or hashem and any mitzvah which is always applies to everybody men and women because even though women are exempt let's say for example for certain myths that are time-bound but if it's a mitzvah that's always it applies to everybody and there it brings actually with a random right to the end of laws of truth and he says like this that when you uh when you teach and when you educate and for example you educate the woman so initially where you educate you educate as follows you start off slowly you serve god you should be in or of god you should have respect for god maybe for you'll get a reward for be for for learning terror and doing mitch voice but what happens as people advance and they're not you don't have to intimidate them with all or you don't have to give them prizes they should they should connect to god so then you start revealing to them the secrets of the torah and then you educate them the beauty of the torah and ultimately the goal is not to serve god from or or fear the goal is to to have a relationship with hashem you want to serve god with with with love and that's the ultimate goal should ever say you see from this rambam two important points that number one is that the avoider of serving god not only functionally doing the mitzvots but to be in hashem to be in love with hashem the emotional mixed race applies to everybody men and women not not only that ultimately by learning and developing your relationship with hashem you you climb the ladder that you oh you you you serve god out of love just like we know that of ram what was abraham known for avraham oyavi avram loved hashem the goal is that every one of us should be on the level of that we love hashem if that's the case that applies to everybody so it says why isn't it why is it use a masculine term a term say one one term of male one or a female what do you mean we'll find in the territory what does it say in the torah look at the ten commandments you shouldn't have any other gods so the fact is over there with the ten commandments the first two it says it says in a singular form and it also says a male a male male form obviously it's self-understood that those two commandments apply to everybody men and women and not only that the anointing i am god your god which says in singular and male 1 says singular and female we know that in the anointing the one commandment includes all the 248 positive commandments clues all 365 commandments and we know it applies to everybody male and female so therefore the evidence is therefore since that's the same implies when it says even though it uses the term echoed and he uses a singular term it's obvious it applies to everybody so whatever says if it's so simple so why all of a sudden this trip is making like a a point to point it out if it's obvious that it belongs it points everyone points to men why is he pointing it out because the reason why he's and even though it wasn't pointed out until now this is very simple because someone made a statement god forbid to say that it does not apply to to to a woman and unfortunately someone makes a statement like that um i have to underscore no that's not true and it applies to men and women equally i'm not there i'm not coming to revolutionize new ideas but we should just continue doing what we're doing and can you to what it says and just to the there was i'm not saying this just to like to clear up the ear to make it to make a disclaimer that when it refers to the first commandment the second commandments all the commandments and making a dwelling place within our hearts it's referring to men and women equally um equally the same now back to the original point so what's our avoider our void is to make a migdash within our hearts and our souls for hashem and we should do it 24 7. and we should do it out of love so it's a told order it's whatever says how do we have the strength to do it and grab it says we have the strength of moisture like it says in next week's torah portion which we read we always read on shabbat mini reiterate next week's torah portion what does it say there it says israel hashem commands moisture avenue to the spanish royal now we know salva means command but also means to connect that moisture albania was commanded by hashem to connect beneath israel he was connected moisturizing his command to connect to bernay stroll and to connect beneath all to hashem and which part of moisture no as the torah says the atta you moisture bani yourself the essence of maisha menu connects with every single yid every single jew and gives them the power to do his avoider do his work of the asuli migdash to make a migdash for hashem within our heart and whoever says obviously most important we know even though you make it in your heart but the most important is our minds are weaker we should really build a third base amigdas and by doing our spiritual avoidables within our heart a lie for hashem we are we merit to draw down the third base of mgdos which is already built and it's ready and high in heaven and we're able to draw it down down into this physical world the matamaya saratwahim and we all go together to eretza koredesh yerushalayimira koidesh to the holy city of israel and to jerusalem in bahara koi edition the holy mountain where the is going to be built and with ultimately the base i make this ashley with the third base mcdonald's from heyra the ameno mamash so it's a short civic discourse but it's a very very important discourse because it teaches us and inspires us that we have a mitzvah and we're empowered by hashem to make the mig dash within our lives and it's not something of the past or the future it's the present every single moment we can bring the migdal hashem within our lives and we have the mignes within us then we have obviously the greatest blessings and the service is about buying the week and the most most important thing is the action that will all merit to have the third base of magnesium god willing the next class will have in your shalom have a great and blessed week
