Shnayim Yomi - Terumah - R'vi'i - #4 - Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh - The Importance of Structure in Life

The fourth aliyah. In this aliyah, Torah teaches us about the kashim were these wooden boards that were used in the Mishkan. And Rashi asked a question. Where did they have wood from? I understand that they assembled gold. They assembled silver. I know that they got they were in the midbar. They were in the desert. They were in the wilderness. Where did they think to take wood with them from? And as she writes, when he came down to he planted trees and told that when you leave, make sure you take those trees with you because you're going to need them. In fact, the Torah continues that on his boards, he had to have these two handles, two handles for each of the boards. And he had to have 40 sockets. When you're going to erect the Mishkan, you're going to stand the Mishkan. It has to be according to a certain order. What does that mean? So Rashi writes, I will tell you, Moshe, I'm going to instruct you, Mosherenu. How and in which order you're going to erect the Mishkan, how to assemble the Mishkan. Now one second. Why does Mosherenu need an instruction booklet? Could fashion it in the way that he sees fit. When a person gets a closet, there are some people that look at the instruction booklet, they take a look at the manual and there are those people who wing it, who do it on their own. And was able to fashion it on his own, to assemble it on its own, to construct it on his own. Why was so insisting I will show you how to assemble it and you assemble it according to my laws. And I believe Allah was teaching Benel a very important lesson. And that is the importance of structure in a person's life. How important it is for a person to have order in his life. One of the most important things that you could ever teach your children, teach yourself, teach a couple is that there's something called structure. And structure means that I know that every day there are certain things that must be done. Timeliness, time management. Those are things that even though a person might be able to survive without them and function without them if he does those things life is more orderly and wants that things should be done according to a certain order an example you know the has a dispute what's more important what is the order of that a person should personify in his life do I first learn Torah and then marry a woman or do I first marry a woman and then learn Torah Why is important? Why do the rabbis have to disagree about such a thing? Why is there such a such a you know a disagreement divergence of ideas and ideas? Because the rabbis wanted to ascertain to solidify and to maintain what is the proper order that Allah wants from a person because order is in fact important. So let's try to become more structured to become more orderly and by doing so we'll be on a much greater level. Have a wonderful day.
