[Applause] it's time for rabbi Minko it's weekly Torah lesson here with his spiritual perspective and insight rabbi Mingo it's welcome to this week's Torah lesson this week's Torah portion is Pontius Picou day the question of the week is how can we succeed in everything that we do so in this week's Torah portion possibly coude we speak about all the gifts that the Jewish people brought for the tabernacle and the way they actually put it together and the way the job was complete and after the job is complete the greatest gift was God Himself came down and dwelled in the tabernacle the Torah portion ends and says while God is in a tabernacle no one was able to go in but it says that after the the scheana would leave then they would know they were they were allowed to travel rubbie asks a question they just built the tabernacle they put it all together they're exhausted the screeners there why are we talking about traveling and the Rebbe says because here you see what a Jew is even when you're even when you're resting and your times there is time to rest we have to think about what we have to be think about the next move about keeping on growing and going from one level to the next level not only that but the Torah actually records the the camping of the Jewish people as a travel why because the goal of encamping and resting is not for resting in itself but the purpose of resting is you should have energy to keep on traveling so in others we are Muharram we are constantly in the mode of moving so even when we rest we have to think about the next move so how to answer the question how can we be successful that whatever we do we should be successful and when it comes time to rest we should rest but have a mind to keep on growing this week's Torah lesson is dedicated to the memory of bora pandari lay snowmobile save and Rocco motley paw may the souls be elevated by the Toro we're studying in their memory thanks so much for joining us for our weekly tour lesson for more information on Chabad please see our website [Applause] [Music]
