Rabbi Minkowicz Weekly Torah Lesson Parsha Shemini

welcome to this week's torah lesson this week's torah portion is parashat shemini the question of the week is when is our spiritual work over so in this week's torah portion pasha shamini the torah begins and says it was the eighth day of the dedication of the temple and after they went ahead and they brought all the sacrifices then the shrina rested on debate to mikdash and the jewish people and we received the beautiful blessing like rashid says bihi nuyama shemalei that the grace of hashem should be on on us in our work and that's when the great blessing came about when on the eighth day so robert asked a simple question moisture a banana was inaugurating the temple one day two days three for seven complete days and he's bringing sacrifice the temple is complete what was it about the eighth day that all of a sudden that's when we received the blessings so robert explains something powerful and he says as follows seven is connected to nature that's our natural way we serve hashem eight is above nature so in other words we work one day two days and we're in the cycle of nature but as long as we're serving our show in a natural perspective we're still in in the groove when we go to eight when we serve us from above nature above logic we get into the mode we totally go into the zone of of above logic and we're totally dedicated committed to assert hashem that's when we receive the greatest blessings that means practice like this we learn torah we pray we do mitzvot and it's amazing but we have to get into the zone eight so based on this derby explains when is our work over our work is never over because ideas and judaism you have to always be mylimbicoidish wherever you're holding you have to go to the next level and when you get to that next level you go to a higher level and as long as you're growing and you're going from one level to the next level we're all growing and will become closer to hashem we'll have a great life and a better life and a more a meaningful life thanks so much for joining us for our weekly torah lesson this week's torah lessons dedicated to memory of barack banaria laib and joseph and rahul baslipo may the souls be elevated by torah we're studying in their memory have a great and blessed week shivuatov for more information please see our website chabadswf.org thanks for joining us
