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 pastors meanie the question of the
week is how can we merit to see God so
in this week's Torah portion Parkash
meanie we learn about the eighth day by
Yogesh meanie the eighth day of the
dedication of the temple in other words
they went through a dedication for seven
days and then on the eighth day they had
the final last day of dedication after
the whole service of the eighth day the
Torah tells us that the fire came down
from God it ate up everything on the
altar people saw it and they were
totally blown away and they sang songs
and they totally prostrate themselves
because they got to see God
so the Rebbe asked what's the idea that
it only happened in the eighth day
why didn't happen the first on the sixth
and the seventh what's unique about the
AIDS Day and there'll be explaining he
says we find something unique to Moshe
Rabbeinu when he prophesized and he
always spoke about God he would say for
example the shear he said as Yasser
Moshe then and for example Moshe men
spoke to God is Mayall's from then that
I came to speak to power he always used
the word us what's the word of oz oz
really means then but Oz actually
numerically Aleph is one Diana 7 so he
caps on used he keeps on using the word
Oz which numerically refers to 8 but it
doesn't say 8 Martin say yes because the
Rebbe explained it specifically us what
it means us there's one there comes
first and then there suddenly what is
one resemble one resembles the One God
the one infinite God what a seven
resemble seven resembles the world in
other words God created the world in
seven days and even Shabbat as holy as
it is it's part of the world it's part
of the world because then you have the
number eight which is above nature so
you have one which is God you have seven
which is the seven days of the week
which is nature and then you have the
ultimate which is one above nature so in
other words if it was just eight above
nature that's being disconnected from
the world if it's just seven
you're in the world motion Albania was
us oz means he had as a focus it's all
about God it's all about the oneness of
God but he didn't just live in an
abstract all about God but he brought
that fascinating powerful oneness of God
into the seven days of the week and into
the materialistic physical world which
is all about nature when a person lives
as motivated us or in this case it came
meanie meanie which is a fusion of God
into the physical world then you can
merit to see God's fire and that caused
the people to obviously be happy and
prostrate themselves so in other words
the answer the question how can we marry
to see God is by bringing God into the
materialistic world and then we will all
merit to see the greatest revelation of
our consumer all this week's Torah
