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 precious not so the question
of the week is what is real unity so in
this week's Torah portion Pasha snow so
we learn about the dedication of the
temple and the Torah tells us that every
single day of dedication every tribe
their tribal leader would bring a gift
to the temple and more or less the gift
was unique to that tribe that gave every
single day a different gift but then
when they finish giving the gifts after
the completion of 12 days from the 12
tribes the Torah tells us that this is
the dedication at Temple when they gave
12 trays of silver so the commentaries
ask really they gave they gave each one
day what they didn't give another 12 the
last day so the so there's different
commentaries give different opinions
right because a fascinating insight
needs are as follows that we find
something unique with the temple and the
dedication on one hand every single
tribe gave every single day a different
tribe gave a gift what happened in the
last day so it's as if they gave it all
together so let me ask if they were
supposed to be as if they gave it all
together they should have all brought
one gift if each one had its unique gift
so why they have to unify it on the last
day and there he explains here the
tourists teaching you what real unity is
real unity is what every single tribe
had their unique gift presentation they
may either because God wants us to be
individuals and have our uniqueness but
on the other hand even after we have our
uniqueness and we each have our special
touch we're all part of one community
and we all have one God so in other
words what is real unity real unity is
when everyone is unique everyone has
their
a special gift that God gave them and
with that unique special gift that you
might think that we're different we
still are unified in a one as one that
is considered real unity this week's
Torah lesson is a memory of Barack

their souls be elevated to the Torah
