truma ravi
um actually we're going to just finish
up one of the inaudible
that kind of bleeds a little bit over
into
ravi which is the engine of the menira
the monaro was one of the kalem the
candelabra was one of the kalem that was
in the
in the mishkan in the in the base of
mikash as well
and it was a very unique haley um that
uh that uh manira had to be lit
uh every day um we know that our nakayan
had that job during the time in the in
the mid bar when the jews were in the
desert
and uh the
hazal tell us
one of the great things about aaron
akayne was that he lit the menorah every
single day
with the same hislabus with the same his
hatreds with the same newness and
excitement that he lit the manure on the
first day he lit it and that's
again part of the the issue that we're
talking about here
um as we mentioned and with the other
caleb
the manira usually represents torah
kinder mitzvah vitara
and what's interesting about the menira
is
that even though there's a lot of detail
given in the parasha about how the
menorah had to look how many arms it had
how many flowers and knobs and different
forms had had on the on each of the arms
and how it was set up and how
there there is really no halachus of the
manira that are what we call
usually with the other klm there are
dimensions that are given and if the
dimensions are not properly
constructed if it's not constructed
those proper dimensions the kali is
possible you can't use that kayleigh
that kayla's not usable in the michigan
you're not yights of the mitzvos that
you have to do with that that you
utensil the menorah doesn't tell us that
there's no there's nothing in the menu
that tells us the height and the width
and the and and
and no no specific rules as a matter of
fact if you had a menorah that didn't
have the flowers and the knobs and all
the different things and you lit it you
yitzha
as a matter of fact if you had a manure
with no arms you're right sir
the mitsubishi without all of the
details that we would think normally you
have to have
and rashem simpinkus
points out that there is a a lesson in
that because there's only one thing
that's ma'aque
there's only one thing that if the
minority doesn't do it's no good
and that's that it should give light
the menorah must be mayor the menira
lights up the entire room
when you light a light in a room it's
the same light goes for one person as it
goes for 100 people
the same light will help one person or
help a hundred people it doesn't really
matter how many people in the room they
don't use up the light the light is
there for everybody and that's the way
the tire is the tire is the same way
kinder mitzvah the torah are the torah
is the same way
but this also teaches us another
important lesson and that has to do with
the fact
that if there are no specific denim that
are marked
the the concept that we can relate it to
is one that we're very familiar with
it doesn't matter if one does more or if
one does less it doesn't matter if one
finishes the whole shots or learns one
blood as long as they do what they can
do and when they do it they have to do
it for the right reasons for the kurdish
barclays they don't do it for their own
personal gratification
so the menorah it doesn't really matter
you know if it's big if it's small if
it's got arms if it's got
and
all the different things that it needs
as long as it gives light and if a
person does mitzvahs as long as they do
what they have to do as long as they do
what they can do
and that means they give light
that's the the aside that
wants to see rahman alibaba
who wants to see the heart in everything
that you do
it's interesting
that the menorah had to be made miksha
akhas it had to be made out of a single
unit it wasn't something that was put
together as other parts of the mishkan
were put together by different parts
there were different things that were
connected and screwed into each other
and built like the shultron was made of
parts and the shulker was taken apart
and put back together when it had to be
go into a mikvah you couldn't put the
whole shulhan in at one time the manure
was one piece it had to be one solid
piece and it was a problem it was a big
problem for maisha abano because my
sharpener couldn't fathom how to do this
and the cottage board who showed him and
he still couldn't do it and then akaresh
showed him a minority
until maishraben was able to figure out
how to do it so marsha rabbenu himself
who was the greatest of all the naveem
and had a brilliant personality
there was a situation when it would have
to be mixed
there had to be one piece and mixture
meant it was caution it was difficult it
was difficult for him to do
some things are difficult
some things
we have to persevere
but the goal here is that you have to
persevere you can't rely on your zuchus
when it comes to torah you have to rely
on your perseverance on your mixture on
your
plowing through
as i'll tell us that there are three
things that are nicknasurin there are
three things that are uh that we get
you know three surum which means not
necessarily pain and suffering but it
means through effort it's difficult
and one of them is tyrant
tyra's nickname is be a surim you can
attain torah but you have to do it with
effort it has to be mixture it has to be
hard and you have to persevere through
and then it becomes your torah and your
zahas so from the from we see from this
two real important lessons from the
meniere number one
do as much as you can
and that we see from the fact that the
menorah didn't have specific denim that
are marked and at the same time the
banana had to be mixed
it had to be one piece and that one
piece means that it's kosher it's hard
it was hard to do
and learning sometimes is hard to do but
if we persevere that's what akashiborohu
wants us to do so that we can be
kindness that we can have a peace in the
torah that we get through that hard work
