The Lord Has Spilled His Fury and Kindled a Fire in Zion with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] Shalom everybody welcome back to the ER mid in the meantime we are guests here and we're so grateful a lot of gratitude we're showing for era and all they're doing for the community and uh we basically have people volunteering to make tiis they're still on their way we're going to start anyway and um we're in pares PUD day so just as a reminder for those who are not familiar this is heavily text right very intense uh when we go to the text part however it's always spiritually uplifting we always deal with the fundamentals and we use the CLE car as the basis for our conversation so in or discussion in order to follow along I encourage you to go down below in the description box and you'll see links in order to get the Hebrew sheets which you can follow if you do want the English Source sheets you can email me also uh the email is below and um we can send them to you on a weekly basis I also want to make a special thanks for all those who have actually contributed already to the saer Torah we are narrowing down a place in order to hold our minion and uh just pray for us that we get a good place and a good time and uh we'll be doing a cavana minion a minion that goes at a good Pace put it that way slow pace with some instructions before for sure as well as afterwards andem the place we want will be able to sur breakfast we know if you put out food they will come okay so that's one of the motivation factors but also because we'll be learning after Shak service after the prayers in the morning so for people to hang around and not have to run out that would be uh helpful if we found a place where we can serve breakfast and of course we'll use this location for our Thursday night's year maybe by brtz as well many other shim through the week will increase bat the amount of Shar that we do so what we're in Para we're in the last para of of Exodus it's p now the word p day we're going to translate it here as an accounting okay numbers in fact sa for PIM is the real name for numbers uh you know the fourth book of The Five Books of Moses sa for pudim numbers so it's an accounting however just you should should know that the word itself has every Hebrew word could have eight different meanings so uh for example when God sent the angels to visit Sara okay so it's a visitation it can also mean intimacy it could also mean instructions like a m is the one who is the instructor um it also when you make a deposit you're you're depositing something you're giving something over we're actually going to deal with all those different um definitions through tonight's session so we'll start with 21 it's chapter 38 verse 21 where it says these are the accounting of the Mish the mishkan of testimony so there's going to be a few things I'm going to highlight them now we're not going into any answers but but what does it mean and then Mish why is there a a definitive he at least in one of the times mishan is used and why does mishan need to be used twice very important but we're going to start with the word a right a if it had a v it's and these and Rashi tells us if there's a v it P it kind of like gets rid of or negates whatever was said before there is no V here so nevertheless the clear brings down that the maim disagree there's different opinions if that word a is nevertheless going on the the the last subject in other words in vak which discussed the mishan the M mishan the construction of the mishan and so is it going on these are the accountings of the Mish that we just talked about or perhaps it's introducing a new concept the clear actually concludes that it's talking about what was said which is fine because that's consistent with Rashi the V always introduces a new subject there is no V so that's consistent but nevertheless that's we'll call that the first observation or thing to discuss what is Aya going on what was said or what will be said another question he asked is so what Moses does now even though he tells you Saka the total amount of Gold Silver and copper that was collected nevertheless in our para he goes at Great length well in the beginning to discuss what the silver and bronze or copper was used for but NE gates to explain what the gold was used for that's that's what the the Kish does so he's pointing the cart's pointing that out but he doesn't make a meaning he only tells you all that they collected but he doesn't tell you what it was used for in thisone so the cleard begins his answer therefore my heart imagines to say to answer that the words a how our par begins these are the accounts is going on what was said before what was discussed why because at this point all of the mishan and its vessels are already completed what isn't complete what isn't complete or what hasn't been made in its fullness are the big day Kahuna are the garments for the priests okay but I told you that right now the clear is just pointing out that the M Mish the Mish was completed therefore a full accounting is given for that like I said all that was done with or from from these materials the silver and the bronze already was made entirely now the crazy thing is how am I going to translate the word here therefore Moses was we would normally translate as happy he was happy I want to say satisfied he was relieved and we'll see why with the completion of the the silver and the and the copper and therefore once he completed uh all the work using those two materials therefore he was eager to give a full accounting to remove himself from any suspicion we have to talk about this and we'll see a measures that clearly says the people were gazing at Moses and when people give you that eye so there is a um it's like the I don't know we call it the suspicious eye you know when someone's looking at you like you know you're uh a suspect right and he didn't want this who would want it nobody would want to be the center of an investigation par Zoo Moses did not want to wait he was not interested in Waiting he wanted to get it done and over with so he didn't want to wait wait until after the the the Priestly garments were made that are mentioned in this para in order to in order to give a on all the materials that were used altogether he didn't want to wait why in this para there's really no mention of where the gold and sorry the silver and the copper we was used for since everything was already complete with the silver and the copper so after he finished all that work he wanted to give an accounting immediately but regarding the gold how could he how could he give a kbone because the the garments for the Co at least we're talking about the K garment included gold thread and other gold parts so because the garments were not made he wasn't able to give a full accounting yet since they were not made he didn't yet make they weren't made um the con's garments were not made as described in this um in this cedra because gold was also used since they still needed gold to make the garments therefore Moses was not able he wasn't able to give a full accounting for where the gold was used now the if you're going to say there's still a great question and what would that question beun so in our para so we said that the the the the whole hbon of the gold wasn't said yet because he still mosha still didn't have all the gold used so how come after the big day were made he didn't make aone for the gold and I think that is going to be the main subject at least in the beginning part of this year and the clear says TR in answer to this question we bring down a medish now quotes this medish and this is the language of the medish you can find this if you want to see and I think it's number six on the sore sheet so it basically goes like this according to the CLE car when Moses came to give a full accounting somehow or another he forgot there's something lacking he couldn't figure out what was missing from the full weight and that amount that was missing was 1,775 uh weights you know shekels and he forgot exactly what was with them what where they went and came from Heaven abas as we understand AAS is some Heavenly voice where people it's a it's a level of Prophecy where certain people are designated to hear so it wasn't just Moshe but it was other people as well as we'll see and I want you to notice there's a he on the word El and on the word h which we'll discuss so the verse is in verse 28 so as the verse says where do we have it it's verse 28 you see this on number four okay so that's what was done with 10 1,775 shekels he made the hooks for the pillars now this is still part of the medish and I think what this medish is saying as we'll see that by God announcing so to speak out of heaven where that missing silver went it was it was a fulfillment of something that said later in Numbers Chapter 12 ver7 but it was as if as if it was said now because what was it that was said later on in ch 12:7 of midbar not so by my servant Moshe because he is the most faithful um throughout my entire house which basically God is testifying on Moses's honesty loyalty that anybody who suspects mosha is like barking up the wrong tree here so not only should you not suspect him for the silver but since I God am telling you he's trustworthy you shouldn't suspect him for anything else either and I so according to the kar that's the end of the medish if you look and we go back to let's say number six it wouldn't hurt to see the whole thing um let's just where I underlined because it says these are the reckonings of the Tabernacle such and such was expended on the Tabernacle while he was sitting that beoa and calculating he forgot the 1, 775 shekels from which he actually did use for the hooks on the pillars so he started sitting and he was wondering he he said to himself now Israel will find justification to say that I took them so what did God do the Holy One Blessed Be he enlightened his eyes meaning Moses was able to perceive either through the boss call or through some kind of level of uh awareness he saw what happened that they were crafted into the hooks and at that moment all of Israel was satisfied so this Bas obviously was uh crafted to to the ears of those who also suspected him um all of Israel was satisfied regarding the labor of the Tabernacle what caused this it was Moses sat and he made Theon and that's what it means these are the reckonings now continues on to the next page I also have it underlined so on page three it's still same the same medish so it does mention that they gazed at Moses where is that that's in Exodus 338 it would be when Moses entered the tent the pillar of cloud would descend and would stand at the entrance of the tent to the tent and he would speak with Moses and afterwards they would gaze at Moses so the me says R said that they would look at the nape I don't know if thep AP is that like the back of the neck of the son of amra obviously that's mosha others would say this person mosha who controlled the labor of the Tabernacle would you not expect him to be wealthy IE what does what does it mean uh corrupt right if he's in charge of the construction project so he probably pocketed some of the material that's what means would you not expect him to be wealthy when Moses heard this he said to them you know by your life as you live when the Tabernacle complet he swore that when the Tabernacle is completed I'll make an accounting for you in order to show them that he was not um guilty of anything in other words there is a concept even though it's not one of the 6 13 Commandments but when two and a half tribes wanted to stay on the other side of the uh Jordan you know in the Golan there was a whole discussion what are you you're ruining the morale you're not coming with us they said no of course we did we want to come with you we want to fight but there's a a phrase over there you're supposed to what not be guilty you're supposed to be clean in the eyes of other people so this is a Jewish a Torah principle it didn't make the list of the 613 but we have an obligation on ourselves to always as appearances go not to look guilty or do anything that people would have aad on us that's our responsibility it's also the responsibility of the person who has the to work it out we're supposed to judge people favorably therefore you're always actually obligated meaning people you don't know so well but you can assume that they're kosher one should go out of their way to judge them favorably evil people you have no obligation whatsoever to judge favorably so we're still on the first page I'm imagining about seven or eight lines from the bottom where we just read the verse um fine according to thear he's imagining what was really bothering or felt or perceive the word herish is felt um what was bothering the balam medish and must have been those extra haes that I pointed out the if you go back it says two lines up it's unnecessary as a clear says and he says no in verse 28 it could have just said and maybe it should have just said you don't need these you see in verse 25 it says it doesn't say ham 100 talents it doesn't say the 100 talents with the so thear wants to know so why do we have right so why are those extra hay there it must be this is what this is what the med says that it's a Bas call coming and specifically saying those right these particular uh amounts was used for something and therefore that it wasn't extra meaning it's extra but it's there to um that Moses certainly had forgotten and and not only that the background is that the certain Jews were Moran meaning they were slandering they were talking uh after him about him lar saying atmo that he took them for himself that's why it's missing from the like all goodan right they all take the extra material and came out this heavenly voice specifically a Heavenly voice can said that particular thousand you spoke about and that specific 700 that how you doing that is known that you're claiming that Moses took them that's not the truth but rather Moses used them they were used for the pillars for the hooks on the pillars now if that's the case after the Jewish people whoever complain they saw that it was from Heaven the heavens opened up and a voice came out and testified regarding MOS they kind of backed off can you imagine you're accusing somebody who's totally innocent God himself comes to that person's defense in this case mosha and you have any other suspicions forget it drop it I don't even want to make myself look like I have any suspicions against mosha after God just came to his defense to claim he is loyal he is the most loyal of my household soam this is what they were saying to themselves after they heard the Bas after the fact that he held himself back from the gold itself they're they're saying must be that it's we just heard from God himself testifying even on the silver so in the end there was no made there was no requested and even Moses realized that there's no reason for theb because he made Theon to get out of any suspicion at this point there is no suspicion and then the last statement remember the BOS itself said according to the medish basing them on who that he is the most trustworthy person therefore was saying G including all the the gold is included in this idea that he's trustworthy men therefore no accounting was necessary or made on account of the gold okay the next paragraph according to this opinion it wasn't the people that initiated that Moses make any kind of but rather but was Moses initiative to get him out of any kashad he wanted to present himself as clean we're going to call it vindicate himself therefore it says the words were this accounting was by Moses's command he took the initiative and the next paragraph remember it said a bear in verse 21 the work of the Levites under the direction ofar say now this is amazing if you know anything about when how Miracles work okay so imagine this I see the people making sis is amazing anybody who have ever worked with metals or even if you just saw a YouTube video right how things work so you see that um they melt the Craftsman the the silver smith the gold smith they melt down the what they thought was pure in the end of the day after I don't know how many hours or how many degrees there is I'm going to use the word dross we know what it means the the scum that's scraped off the top or right evaporated whatever however the impurities are separated but it's separated originally through the heating process therefore if I gave you a pound of gold and after this processed there should be a pound less a gram or whatever it is the draw that we separated correct you guys with me on this there's something missing there was a miracle that happened that's why it says here mosha all that Moses commanded all that he wanted the accounting for n was actually found the same account that he made before the the melting process it was exactly what was found by when he waited at the end this is one of the Miracles that took place during the construction of the Tabernacle and this is why the Tabernacle itself is called Mish it is a how how would you translate this a of testimony it's a dwelling I want to use the word mishan is a dwelling we of testimony what does it mean this would be served as proof as witness to the Jewish people and we'll see later on to the whole world that God dwells the sh dwells amongst them that hasem is there okay so the next paragraph begins now just notice there's a he before the first Hamish I mean this is go back to Source One these are the countings of the mishan the mishan of testimony H tell us and you can find this also on the sour sheet this is um number number eight okay we're going to read this in Hebrew instead it says you know why it says tce by the way before we even get into this the word has two Ys it actually means there are two there twoim I'm s right so basically um we know that there's a a Jerusalem in heaven and a Jerusalem down in Earth in the rest of tanak the word y does not appear in the five books of Moses in the tanak it doesn't even have the Y it says y but we read it as if it's plural Yim because Yim is actually plural so there are actually two Jerusalem there's a Jerusalem above and a Jerusalem below now that's Jerusalem we're talking about the mishan the mishan traveled through the through the desert for 40 years and was in several places once we were located in Eric Israel and there are even um archaeological proofs that the mishan was in Shilo okay so the thing is that it moved around wait till you hear this if it moved around then if it's m m means an exact alignment with the Heavenly mishan so a mishan that's why mishan used twice there's a Heavenly mishan and there's a Earthly mishan if the Earthly mishan is moved around how can it possibly be in direct alignment with the Heavenly unless we're going to say the Heavenly Abode of Hashem also moved which is going to be really hard to imagine because God is not a man to change his mind or to to move around let's let's now that I laid the gra groundwork so the med says now just look at the word this is in um this is in Exodus 15:1 17 which you'll find on your sore sheet number nine you shall bring them and plant them this is by the song of the sea you shall bring them and plant them on the Mount of your her directed towards your habitation so the word m even though it really means the dwelling place of your habitation we will read it similar to the way we have this translation directed okay so it means M really means the dwelling place of your habitation the clear explains is it's the same letters it's just different vowelization it's literally the the Tabernacle is in direct line you have a better word a better translation it's a direct alignment with the Heavenly Abode as with the Earthly Abode now in a different medish in M it says it does say Mish twice why I would say at this point drum R please CU it's a big so the word m we already described as a Dwelling Place like is a dwelling place is a is a neighbor it's obviously about dwelling but if you took out a mortgage here in Israel you would be taking out a mish which basically means it's collateral Mone is collateral the best loan you can get is a mortgage why because they already have your house right the bank basically owns your house it's called collateral the collateral is your house you're looking at me right it that's so you the best loan why is the best loan because since they have all the collateral they basically going to give you the longest period of time you can take a loan for the best the best rates supposedly allegedly and uh that's that's an amazing thing but just keep in mind the word mishan is related to the word mishon so what is actually taking place this Tabernacle which is the mishkan is actually collateral for our sins that's what it says no was take it says twice mishkan and the reason why is because there were two two structures that were used no there were two structures that was used as taking the collateral because of our sins that's Bas of mikdash number one and Bas Mikes number two and what are we looking forward to wait till you hear what he says when we are going to be free clean of our sins that's when the third B of mikdash will come into fruition which we're all praying for very soon so the CLE car continues with M it does say the word Mish twice because it's acting is collateral twice on account of the Jewish people's sins now with all the different M we still have to give some kind of reason for it why is it appearing in this mid so he says b fake it must be without any doubt remember the word p p is not just like we said in the beginning to visit to account for to instruct right if we said all these words in the beginning here means but it also could mean and does mean to pay for the sins of we'll see so the the prime point of this para is regarding the accounting which Moses gave but we still want to understand what is this mid doing here regarding mishan mishan twice that the uh the collateral is taken on our behalf therefore the cleard begins with his answer all the different all the different authors of the med understood this question and the question is based on this okay let me just I'll translate this but I want to explain the question is why enter thisone now in the middle we're not finished we still have the big dea to do so I want you to use your imagination a second you have four pares that really go at length with the the the Bion of the mishkan the building of the mishkan we started off with truma right you're with me truma and that's mainly dealing with the mishan and its vessels then you have the followinga no one before is dealing with big dayun so you already have a pattern first the kaleim in one partion the sorry the mishan and the vessels and then in the following par you have big deuna then you have Kisa which deals with a whole different type of narrative very little to do with the mishan itself and then you have these last two partial vak and PUD vak is going to focus really only mainly on the the mishan and its vessels and then PUD day is going to mainly focus on the big de kuna same pattern knowing that look at the clear he asked why does the kbone fall now in the middle between PUD vak PUD in the middle of the Mala when you're dealing with the yaka which was last week's para it's mentioning the work of the mishan and all its vessels and in par meaning P it's only mentioning big so the great question is so why in the middle here it didn't do it over there well here we're finished but anyway why is there this break to put in theone of all the ingredients right now that's why the says that you have to understand that the one in heaven the Tabernacle that's in heaven is in direct alignment with the one below now just remember the phrase cuz if you said it the other way around so the one above is in direct alignment with the one below if I would have said the one below was in direct alignment with the one above the ier would be the one above whatever is mentioned last so it's in alignment with the second which means the second one is actually the most important one wherever that is that's where so the one below is where it is and God's Abode seems to follow that we'll see there's more background in chapter 25:9 n whenever it came to the instructions for the mishan and the vessels God says as I have shown you or as I will show you that's how you're going to do it so in verse 25 ver9 right according to all that I show you it doesn't mention these words what I will show you when it comes to the big de Kahuna when it comes to the garments only the Tabernacle and its vessels he named me the clear says here you have clearcut proof shaloh Hera the only thing that Moses was shown the only thing that God showed Moses was the mishan and its vessels according to the pattern and the model of AOH big deuna he did not show mosha anything that represents the garments of the Coen that's why I have a whole list several times inuma as you were shown on the mountain that's referring to the Mas misho the that's only referring to the actual mishan and its vessels but as Daniel pointed out that's isun that's talking about the the Kun and I have a whole list there doesn't say anything about sh being shown or what Moses had to see because we're talking about the big day now this is a very important thing because we read all these pares and I've heard I've heard people get bored people get caught up in the details and fall asleep right so what happens so what happens happens that there's a reason that there's what do we just say truma and being divided and divided twice what do you need twice in truma you have the vessels and the Mish it only mentions Biga so to here speaking about the mishan as vessels speaking about the the Kim's garments why when it came to the Mishka on all its vessels Moses is making it according to what he saw God showed him exactly what Moses showed him and that Vision that he saw mikash sha this is what he showed him he showed him that Heavenly Abode he showed him what it looked like in heaven therefore when it came to making it producing it he did it according to the picture or the illustration the vision that he was given and he was instructed he was commanded to make the mishan down below to to uh make it exactly according to the examples or descriptions that were described and shown to him above now we understand when it says back in that verse where it says the dwelling of your residence it's in direct alignment now AIM now this is going to get a little complicated don't say the explanation is this is an assumption but it's an don't think that we're talking about and this is actually the conclusion as well but don't think that we're talking about it's m as in a straight line U what's the word direct alignment with one place to the next we already know that the Mish the Tabernacle itself was moved from place to place it didn't stay in one place therefore we're forced to say now he's going to eat his words he says therefore what do we have to say that the upper mishan the one in heaven actually moved around and followed the one below but he says right away this is so far from any logic any you can't make sense of it doesn't make sense furthermore the language of the verse even when it says corresponding to your residence that means it's that the one below is in direct alignment meaning it's secondary to the one above but we actually have to say the other way around that the bikash above was we have to say if we're going to make this conclusion but he's going to say it's not even like that at all but if he did say it because that means that wherever the mishkan in this Earthly world was moved God's heavenly mishan followed it around and that is extremely difficult to say so rather this is the answer when when it says right when it says corresponding to your residence it's simply simply what I showed you you should make that it makes sense make it exactly aligned with the pattern of the Mikala because otherwise we're in a quandry and we can't answer it but this is the way the understands it's not direct alignment at least that's not the verse here trying to explain it but rather it's in the exact pattern that I showed you meaning it's the exact design and pattern what we have down here is what Moses was shown above exactly how there are rooms and vessels but what was he not shown remember the the the the garments of the coin but anyway knowing that the mishan there's some mishan above with the same pattern of rooms and vessels he says this is one of the Divine Mysteries that are hidden from us nevertheless the very fact that we said it's in direct alignment of a can anybody guess why the garments of the cohain were not were not shown they were only commanded because they were only for Aon in other words even if the I what an angel's going to dress up in in aon's clothes these clothes were made specifically for Aon so how could you show anybody or anything in the Heavenly spheres wearing these clothes doesn't make sense and I think that's what he says so the garments that were made Down Below in this earth the the garments for the Coen they were made only foron for his honor and His glory and you couldn't and they were not included in the rest of the vessels for the mishan and that's why it says what God showed him was the plan for the Tabernacle and the plan for the vessels you did not include the garments of the Coen Mish so we're not going to include them in the vessels of the mishan the clothes of the Coen are a separate category all they are a big day AR they're going to be specifically the clothes for the the high priest there are no examples of what could have been made for for mosha to look at and no this was only according to as we're about to say see according to what God commanded and thear says this actually resolves this whole issue what the had had asked big why is it then spoken about the garments for the priests with all the other Mal as it says let's say in 391 all the times that Moses is talked told about the bigun it's as God commanded parak how come in par vak which only deals with the mishan and its vessels those words do not appear as God commanded it's only talking about the mishan itself and that's what that's what Moses was shown the pattern and the design in heaven well when he was in the mountain so he's not to make obviously Moses did not make any changes what a person's let's say uses his sense of sight with a thing that a person sees he actually sees with the sense of sight that's easier to make because it's like some people are more visual but that's easier to make once you have like an idea what it's going to look like remember he was never shown the big he never saw their P their pattern or a model example like in China right they what they reverse engine ER they copy right every they take they still copyright you can send them Adidas or whatever I don't know maybe they're made there already but you can send them anything you want they could make a duplicate right so it's easier when you have a pattern you know in front of you anyway so you might have thought since he was only commanded he never saw them he might have forgotten that's why the Torah goes out of its way when it came to the ve the the garments of the Coen it says hasem and I have a whole list of examples where's that on the sheet um and number 11 for example so number 11 not only 391 but I'll just read it for those who don't have the sheets 395 397 3921 3926 3929 3931 and 3943 all these exactly when it comes to bigun it doesn't say as I have shown you but rather as I have commanded you now so in other words as I commanded you even though I never showed you an example now even though all of them right they were um all of them you must intend to do them exactly as God commanded all you had was a you didn't have an example to look at there was nothing to see there was no vision to see but as we saw so many times because that's dealing with the Mish and its vessels God says as I have shown you so you have a clear distinction uh between the two now and for this very reason Moses went out of his way to really be very meticulous when it came to making the mishan and its vessels meaning he wanted to go out of his way make a as soon as he finished he wanted to make a immediately and he didn't want to make any connection with the the bod with the with the clothing right he' want to combine them with the making of the do you realize this that if God showed you you were mosha right the actual in heaven mishkan and vessels but didn't show you the Cohen's garments it must mean there's a extra special kadha to the mishan and the vessels because this is in heaven this is in God's AB boed mikdash Shala not exactly we're talking about um corresponding in place but at least corresponding in um in the in the um pattern so this is the explanation of why there was an accounting we said there was a on right so the is referring to the mishan in heaven what is that Mish that would be the Mish of testimony which Moses is then commanding and accounting for meaning to say was that very mishan the mishan of testimony that testifies the mishan itself testifies that God's presence the Shina dwells with the Jewish people or dwells among among Israel aare padim mosha which was accounted for by Moses so we're actually going to translate maybe the word Puda here as remembrance this itself caused is a remembrance of the mishan of the Hua the specific mishan that we're talking about in heaven now according to the Das of the mid which says Mish Mish remember it says it twice we said there's twice the the collateral was collected the collateral was collected for our sins and now this is why immediately after um the construction of the mishan it mentions this now this is a little bit har we're going to look to which is Lamentations 4:1 look at number 15 the Lord has sent his Fury he has poured out his Fierce anger and he has kindled a fire in seon which has consumed her foundations right and then the this sounds pretty harsh the truth is number 16 Inaba there's four kinds of Fury that were sent for good and unfortunately there were also four kinds of Fury that was sent for bad but at the end of this idea this in this medish basically why is it actually good in the end because God took out his fury on on sticks and stones I think when we were kids we used to say Sticks and Stones can hurt my bones but names will never hurt me that's not true at all of course names even do more harm sometimes than sticks and stones but nevertheless let's go into three lines down from the last paragraph say regarding this verse inv that God took his Fury out on this edifice this Stone and um and and wood edifice now why does it mention why does it say about these materials is to teach you we're talking about the Mish itself it's true that's the main ingredients wood and stone we're talking about the mikash right it was used as collateral big but the um the garments of the kuna were not part of this collateral that's why it says a PUD mishan so even with the Pud it's a deposit it's a it's it's this idea of the collateral but it's also visitation and the visitation is not always Pleasant M it says immediately after finishing the Mish the actually to teach us or to hint here that God really did forgive us for the sin of the golden calf now we all know as Jews we go through the whole cycle of the year and especially in rash yum kipur we know we are cognitively aware that there's still something lingering with the sin of the golden calf wait till you hear this it's going to blow your mind it says there's a hint that God did forgive us for the sin of the golden calf how does it work someone took out a loan from his friend and he owes the money and he doesn't pay it up that's usually when the the Mish the collateral is taken he's going to give the collateral uh for on account of his Deb but you know as it works hopefully it works like in a mafia right if they have your Rolex they're probably not going to kill you right they they have this thing that's worth a lot of money maybe it's a car maybe it's a Rolex but if they have the collateral they're not losing face right that the problem with the mafia is they think that if you get away with not paying your debt everyone else is going to do the same thing to follow so you know they they break your kneecaps or Worse right so but if you have collateral you kind of save your life so that's what it's saying here that once you gave the mishkan then they're not going to take the full physical punishment out on you they're going to take collateral the Goof the truth is as a result of the sin of the golden calf we really deserved Annihilation remember mosha prayed on our behalf and it worked but was it an entirety that we were forgiven so God in his Mercy right he except he in his he promised that he would accept this collateral on account of their sin let me ask something when someone doesn't pay their debt and you have their mishon you may forgive them for the loan but you never really forget right because you have their mishon and you know that you didn't get the money anyway this is what happened with the sin of the golden calf even though God did forgive the Jewish people he made conditions do you understand the God forgave us but there was conditions and I'm going to tell you those conditions were broken and we're not going to be that happy about the fact that they were broken but this is part of our history we cannot push under the rug the condition was we wouldn't go back and create that sin again by moving away and making another ago do you know in history after the first temple was built after Solomon died there was a split and yov benat the King of the North made golden calfs okay did I skip something no and when did we return When did we sin with a golden calf again actually it was two of them it was during the the reign of the first Israelite King n there was a visitation there was a remembrance of that first sin of the golden calf so God didn't really punish us as much as he could have because Moses prayed for our uh forgiveness God accepted it but on condition we don't go back and sin again because once if we did sin again it would be like a double punishment for the sin at that moment and for the sin the punishment that we didn't really receive its full fullness the first time around that's what the clear is saying there was a visitation or punishment regarding the and that you can find in and this is what it says in chapter in our in in Exodus 3234 and you'll find this number 17 on the bottom of five now go right go now I'm sorry and now go lead the people to the place which spoken to you behold my angel will go before you but on the day I make an accounting of sins upon them I bring their sin to account against them there'll be a double um punishment so to speak so the clear continues and says this was the condition when Jewish people if you fail and go make another ago which you did at the um beginning of the second first temple it's a time right I'm going to remember I'm going to punish you for the first time that I didn't really punish you and then as is a double language remember our I will surely visit upon you for their sin I'm going to basically punish you double for even though you did it once this one time I'm going to do it I'm going to make a punishment for double meaning what happened in the past and now but God promises I am not going to punish you physically meaning to wipe out I'm not going to wipe you off the face of the Earth because I did take the first temple and the second temple as collateral and that's what it means remember it says it twice fine what about the word meaning to say says it twice twice the first temple the second temple was taken as collateral on account of our sins now there is a just by one why so I do have here on the last page number 18 that there were um 10 major things that took Place uh in the in the first temple but five of them were missing in the second temple that was being the the ark itself which had um the Kim on the on the cover you had the the fire that came down from heaven you didn't have that in the second temple so the ark was already hidden by the by Yash the king so we didn't have it in the second temple we also didn't have the divine presence based on many ideas but the ark itself was already gone prophecy did not exist and this is something I don't I don't understand how you know the the Tanakh is finished okay in the very beginning of the second temple we have noer prophecy I just don't get how the Christians or even any other religion bases themselves on Judaism but doesn't accept the fact the prophecy had ended so they still have their prophets but anyway and the or V was missing already the second temple now the last five lines and we'll finish but the reason for the Mish so there is gold that is going to be used in the mishan and of course on the um um big so therefore it's it's similar as if the Mish was serving as an ar ar means collateral a guarantor guarantor on their account shal meaning the gold of the mishan should have been a reminder not to go back and do the golden calf sin and if we would transgress a golden calf then the Mish would serve as collateral how could the Mish it wouldn't be proper that the mishan would atone the whole time that we are in sin with uh these golden CS if that's the case the whole time that the Tabernacle stood that would be proof that would serve as testimony to the Jewish people that the sin of the ago would have been forgiven that's why it says mishan adus the um the Tabernacle of testimony but what I want to say is this that the Third Temple that we're all praying for and looking forward to and preparing ourselves for this will not just be a sign for us as the cleart says that we have been forgiven but really a sign for the whole world they whoever they are I don't know who they are have blamed us for every Calamity that ever took place right they're called conspiracy theories and you can go on and on and on maybe it's anti-Semitism the truth is that until we do truva and unify and I think we are more unified than ever before and I think we're more closer to a true trouva than ever be when I say than ever before at least in the last 2000 years very soon we will see according to Rashi the base of mikdash come out of Heaven according to the rambam the the non-jews allowing us to build the B maybe it's somewhere in between maybe we have to start andem will finish it U but the whole what do you call it the geopolitical uh structure of the Middle East will change we will see real true pre peace we will see uh as the rambam describes and the gamor describes we will be out of Shibu Goot where the Nations will not tell us how to wage war but they will when they wage war they'll ask us if it's permissible or not okay this is a dream which our we're here today because our own parents and grandparents and great great they all dreamed of this day coming and I believe I believe I believe it's coming real soon so the only thing I can suggest is prepare yourselves we can all do trouva start with ourselves neish figure out how we can um strengthen ourselves in Torah and Mitzvah and I think the the most important thing of all is the unity that was created we all know it was created by God this Unity we were in bad shape on October 6th you know and Hashem right it says in in the navi the prophets that Assyria is the rod of God's Fury right the the sometimes there has to be a point where we don't correct ourselves God will correct us but I believe the more we commit ourselves to learning Torah and doing Mitzvah we could do self-correction that's always the most preferable path so I'm wishing you all bem right strength to strength learn do Mitzvah but most of all figure out a way to unify with your holy brothers and sisters and we'll bring mhia to and the rebuilding of the B mikash soon our days [Music] amen oh
