Shnayim Yomi - Terumah - Rishon - #1 - Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh - When the External Becomes Internal

The rabbis teach us that before was going to rest and reside within the hearts of Benel. But once Benel already sinned with the calamity of the golden calf, Benel had to build their way back to Bam. Bam says to moshen talk to each one should give libo what he wants to give in order to construct the mishan where bam will rest there were 13 possible ingredients and materials used to build the mishkan the rabbis right the banish says that the number 13 is significant because it's the gimatria of the word the gimatri of the word love bam and brael have an eternal bond But have to work towards that bond. Anyway, the Torah tells us about the first structure that was going to be fashioned which was the Aon had uh incomplete measures. In other words, the length of the Aon was 2 and 1/2 cubits. The width was one and a half and the height was one half as well. The rabbis explained because the Aon represents Torah and in Torah you always have to think I'm not complete. There's more than I can do, more than I can accomplish, more than I can achieve. The rabbi is also right that the inside and the outside of the had to be coated with gold. It was shitty wood coated with gold and had to have a zir had to have a crown which circumvented the entire aon. There were four rings by the aron and two staffs and those stabs were not allowed to be removed from the aon. You know it's an interesting idea that you had to quote the from the inside and the outside. Why? What's the lesson? It's very possible we could explain it based on rad writes if a person wants to attain spiritual pursuits he wants to elate himself. He wants to raise himself. The best way to do it is to act apart to coach yourself from the inside and the outside of gold. Even though you might not be golden genuinely but if you coat yourself then you're called the zahav you're called of gold. Why? Because you personify you become the part you want to play. And that's the way it is with us. You might not be the greatest learner or the most righteous person but play the part and soon enough the external will become internal and the facade will become part of who you are. Tony, have a wonderful day.
