So in this week's Torah portion, we learn about the inauguration of the temple and like the Torah says it was the eighth day of the inauguration calls the elders of the Jewish people. So ask what do why is he calling them? We know for the seven days of the organation the Torah says they can't leave the temple. So the Reb explains and he says something very powerful. The whole purpose of the Mishkan, the tabernacle, the mikdash, the temple is the mdash like God says so that God can dwell amongst us. How do we accomplish God to dwell amongst us? So there's another verse in the Torah that says that we should serve God your God. That's a little translation. What does that mean practically? Our job is to bring the infinite part of Hashem into this physical world. As we know when Hashem created the world was a big tum a big concealment what you see is physicality but our job is to bring that the infinite part of Hashem into this world that's why as we know is a soul of and which part of is referring to mobu brings from the highest level of the world of into is from the his name is spelled alfnun which is har the mountain of nun the 50 gates of bin brings into the into which represent the idea of the intellect of all the emotions and then all the Jewish people which are souls of Bria and so the answer the question what is Judaism in a nutshell to bring into this physical world where God has concealed yud the infinite part of hashem by learning Torah praying and doing mitzvot Thanks so much for joining for our weekly Torah lesson.
