welcome to our class on this
we're going to be learning this week a
beautiful hasidic discourse from the
rebbe the name of the
discourse is called the asuli migdash
the rebels said this civic discourse on
shabbos parish
which was in the sixth day of the month
of adar in the year tough shin mem giml
39 years ago
so again the civic discourse is based on
the verse in this week's torah portion
where it says the us
where hashem commands their jewish
people to make amignosa base amigdas and
hashem says when you make it from evil
i will dwell amongst you
so it's brought down in qazal that tell
us that any time it says in the in the
torah lee to me
it's everlasting it doesn't get moved
and now there's not in this world and
that in the world to come
and as it says but in reference to mesa
migda
you should make lead to me that means a
mignus is everlasting
so rubber asks a question we know
the mig dosh
where it says the obsolete mcdosh is
also referring to the mishkan like the
talmud says that mishkan is called
mgdosh and mig dash is called mishkan
nevertheless
in the mishkan we know in the tabernacle
there were changes
and the same thing also with the
reference in the basement itself the
basement king solomon made and the
second base of mcdosh
they were both destroyed
so in other words besides the fact that
there was changes in the michigan
tabernacle constantly moved
but the fact is in the two in the two uh
bhatti magnus and the two temples they
both destroyed so how can the medras say
ain't a zlatan it never gets moved
anytime this is vessel makes me it's
everlasting the fact is they were moved
and they were and they were destroyed
so the rabbit brings
from the uh said that the third rabbit
is classical works of siddhis in the
parasha called
torah and he says as follows that the
mig
on high the mig dust in heaven
is connected to the mig dust down below
in other words there's two tis two base
of magnus there's a mig dust in heaven
there's a make this down here and the
two of them are connected and he says
just like we find the reference to not
only the base of dash but the whole city
of jerusalem
which you will have the whole jerusalem
that's built so it says it says in
psalms
that's connected and the commentaries
tell us what does it mean that's connect
that is connected that the user
jerusalem as we know it down here
there's a jerusalem on high in heaven as
well
and the jerusalem on high is connected
to the jerusalem down below so just like
the jerusalem on high is connected to
jerusalem down below the same thing also
the migration high is connected amid
this down below
so based on this that samuel explains
robert simonsen explains what does it
mean
along the way something this is
everlasting that even though
unfortunately we don't have the temple
today
but the powerful light and the powerful
energy of the base hamikdash on high is
shining down in this world now as well
service is very nice it's a nice answer
however
that's referring to a spiritual base of
mgdosh yeah there's a spiritual base to
make this on high in heaven but what
does it have to do with the base of
magnus down here in this world and it's
that and a matter of fact the command
says the us
you should make to me and make this not
on heaven but down here in this world
and that base omega so we make down this
world that should not be moved so you're
going to answer about this basement
right very nice i love it but where's
the basement down here where it says
says you can say
that's why the the the son of celtic
brings another explanation
based on a verse in the prophet a famous
verse in the prophet that says that
hashem says unfortunately we're going to
go there into gallus so it says that the
prophet says
i'll have a small base amigdos what does
mean a small basis magnificent destroyed
so hazal tell us
what does it mean hashems will have a
small base of magnesium in the time of
exile when the temple will be destroyed
that's referring to the base like nessus
and the base of madras the how the
shulls the place we go to pray the
talmud is the place we go to learn that
means even though unfortunately in
gullus we don't have the temple the
temple is destroyed the mishkan the
tabernacle the basement both were
destroyed but nevertheless in gullets
what we have is even in godless we have
our synagogues we have our schools we
have our our schools and that's called
migrate that's a small mcdosh that
that's that that lasts forever so it was
based on the service explains what some
of the saying is that on one hand you
had the spiritual base of magnesium high
and the biggest picture we have down
here that that never gets uh moved and
it's always here it's referring to into
times of gallows to the to the
synagogues and to the anti-israel and to
the schools etc so trevor says based on
this he what he says you can you can add
to it and say even deeper as follows
in other words this is what it means
when it says that
um
ilam
which means that just like you have you
were shaliam as you said before
jerusalem is always exists on a
spiritual level
and since jerusalem on high is always
there therefore jerusalem on low is over
even though we don't have we don't have
it with all full glory we still have
because
jerusalem high
so the same thing also after the
destruction of the temple and we know it
says the famous
line that says that god let out his
anger
only thank god on wood and in stone
but however the base amid us down here
which is referring to the places of
worship the shulls the
yeshivas the play we go to pray and to
go study that's something which lasts
forever
so in other words what server explaining
that the oscillators
that the everlasting component of the
base of mgdos what does that mean it's
everlasting so on a simple level what's
everlasting is the spiritual basement
has always said it never got destroyed
but the base of english down here that
got destroyed what do we have instead of
the physical ace mcdosh we have all the
schools and we have all the basement and
all the all the houses of of learning so
even though it's not the base of magnus
that's why it's called the magnesmat
but rubber says daddy's going to go into
a step deeper and he says this follows
we have to understand
what are we saying
that the base i'll make this video you
should make to me a holy place
i'm going to dwell here
that means that whereas hashem dwell in
the base of magnus
in the times of the temple it was a time
it was a temple and today it's in the
shules and the yeshivas
but do you ever ask a question we know
there's a famous verse that says in the
prophets
as a shamayi in versailles it's an imali
that the heaven and the earth i
referring to the essence of hashem fills
up in other words the essence of hashem
is all over the place
and not only the level of god
which we call mali which is called in
the world of kabbalah malik
god comes down into this world
but even our knee referring to the
essence of hashem which we call in the
world of kabbalah's slave of commons too
powerful to be internalized but that
powerful light is in this world
and everything's even higher level not
only mammalians in this world where god
fills the world not only saving where
god is a super it hovers over the world
but that part comes into the world but
even
level higher than slave also comes in
the world and and that's found in the
world so since we're saying i i'm at the
base in the prophets this is
is here slave is here and even higher
annie hashemas in the world so what's
the bigger idea of the make the base of
megdosh make the base of magnesium i'll
be here hashem is all over the place
now so what are you going to say that
true shaman's all over the place but
hashem wants the awesome dosh what does
that mean he wants us
there's something which hashem always
wants in the world that we should have
something which is called avoid us
we should put our effort into something
so even though hashem is all over no
question about it but the reason why
assam says we also make dollars because
he wants us to put our effort our effort
our our energy our our resources and
that's what hashem wants from us
but so if that's the case or someone
wants to put our effort there's a lot of
things we do to put our effort to make
our shum reveal there's two there's the
all the myths that we do is our effort
but what's the connection of us limit
those specifically making amazing dosh
how is that unique and special over the
fact that hashem is all over the place
siddhartha explains
based on what the alters said in tanya
the october explains in tanya and he
says as follows that the novel ideal of
the base of mikdash versus the way
hashem is found all over the world the
malay the saving heart of save
is that in the basement is found in a
revealed in a revealed way in a specific
place and hashem is all over the world
there's no place in the world where
shame is not hashem is everything and
his name is
and even higher but hashem is not
revealed all over however when you come
to the base of
hashem is revealed over there
i never gives an example just like we
know the soul that comes into the body
so the fact is the soul on one hand
the soul is all over because the soul
wasn't giving life force to every part
of the body the body would shut down
so the soul provides energy from the
head to the feet and they all get they
all get energy the global idea of energy
in other words that global energy a
constant assault goes to all every one
of our limbs and every one of our part
of our body the 248 um
limbs and the the
365 the
veins in our body every part of our body
is full with the energy of hashem
but nevertheless
hashem created
the human being as follows that where is
the the the greater part of energy
where's the the part where the energy is
revealed and the most revealed energy is
specifically in our brain
and from the brain it goes out to the
whole body so knows the analogy is just
like the energy is revealed mainly in
the brain and from there goes to the
whole body so the same thing also when
it comes to the temple that the god is
all over the world a hundred percent but
with hashem mainly revealed and hasham
is mainly revealed in the base amigdos
and from the base of magnus the energy
goes all over the world
now the other brings down there's
actually two different opinions
whether the the revelation in the big
dash is in a way where it's it's
revealed but it's it's
it's called in kabbalah it's called
mahavira and market which means it's
hovering over we don't can internalize
it or the revelation is actually a way
that we can we could internalize it so
just to recap what they're saying is as
follows
what does it mean vasily mgdosh hashem
is all over and the answer is hashem is
all over 100 percent but where is hashem
mainly revealed hashem is mainly
revealed we're in the base of mignos
and from there the light goes all over
the world
so based on this rubber explains why it
says in the verse
the australidas you should make to me a
sanctuary and i'll dwell there
and it says we know it says brought down
in in many different commentaries i
explained that the verse says make me a
sanctuary so say this i'll dwell into
the sanctuary but it doesn't say
which is
plural
and referring to hashem will dwell into
each and every one of us which is a
powerful shift the us limidash make to
me a sanctuary
and hashem will dwell we are into every
single one of us
in other words what does that mean
practically
that this component that an amigdas
hashem is revealed has therefore hashem
is revealed in every single one of us
and not only hashem is revealed into
every single one of us but also for
example just like in the base of mikdos
there's the there's the menorah
there's the tabernacle there's the the
this bayak there's the altar there's the
candelabra etc so therefore within us
hashem is it dwells within each other
just like he dwells within the temple
what does that mean practically he never
explains like this there is based on
what's brought down in many places like
this
and specifically in the in the book
called say for our mitsuha that someone
said that he has a very powerful book
that explains the different mitzvahs
according to kabbalah and he says as
follows
we know that the mishkan the tabernacle
had curtains and it had beams
so the curtains is more hovers over it's
more market and the beings are more more
focused
or for example another analogy would be
the the the curtains which which is more
market and the vessels that make this is
more preemie specific vessels with
specific things
which goes into the category in the
michigan you have machiavelli
you have lights which are very very
powerful you cannot internalize but
they're powerful lights and then you
have lights that are
when they get internalized
so that's the way it wasn't based on
mikdash in the mishka
so the same thing also applies to
spiritually why again to stay focused
since it says
i'm going to dwell within you
so just like in the temple there was an
avoider there was a spiritual work of
market the way the curtains went around
and the way it got please internalize
whether through the beams or through the
different
vessels of the base of mgdos the same
thing also within each and every one of
us
we have two different ways we connect to
hashem in a way of makif and way of
preemie and as our service
hashem gets divided onto the way we we
internalize our relationship with hashem
and the way we connect to ourselves more
in a market way in a superficial type of
way what does that mean not supervised
the way it hovers over it's very very
powerful
and the river brings the the verse that
says as follows
that the the light
um
surrounds us like like a like like like
uh like a garment
real
the heaven
ben
harbors over us so you see there's the
oil which gets internal the light gets
internalized and then there's something
which goes around us surrounds us
what is that referring to on a spiritual
level so it's brought down in kabbalah
it says like this
there's the idea of
um
it's referring to heaven the way it
harbors over us that's referring to
market the way something hovers over us
from the outside but then there's
something which is called
hashem plans within us the light what is
light light we know is that something we
internalize that's something we have
personal benefit from that's something
which goes into a premiums so you have
the light which you internalize and then
you have the heaven which goes in the
market what does that mean practically
so whoever explains like this what does
it mean avoid this other which means
practically speaking our service of
hashem
there's the avoid of makif which hovers
around over us
or it's like a garment what does that
represent that represents the avoided
the work of doing a mitzvah so when we
do a mitzvah and again the 613
commandments there's 248 positive
commandments there's 365 negative
commandments so anytime we do a mitzvah
or we refrain from transgressing against
the mitzvah
that we are creating spiritual garments
for us like it's like doctor explains
that lent in tanja in the beginning
which is referring to mitch voice as a
garment which which which hovers around
us
and that's in general more specific than
rubber says
in mid-swiss you have two different love
two different levels in this voice in
other words
besides the fact that
generally speaking there's two different
levels of mitzvos in other words there's
the way a mitzvah was given to us down
in this world
a physical mitzvah
and then there's a mitzvah the way it's
on high on on a spiritual what does that
mean a spiritual on high and there it
brings the verse that says
part of the israel what does that mean
that the the the words that hashem does
for himself that's what he tells us to
do
and as any time hashem tells us to do a
mitzvah every one of the 613
commandments hashem doesn't he wouldn't
ask her to do something he doesn't do
so in other words there's a mitzvah that
hashem does
the midst of hashem and that is the
message that we do so you see in this
voice of two components there's a
physical mixture that's done down in
this world and then the midst of the
hashem doesn't run high
but besides those two levels of myths
the way eight weights on high the
weights down here
even the way a mitzvah comes down into
this world and we do the mitzvah there's
two different levels to the mitzvah and
again as we said before what's a mitzvah
this is a market that surrounds harvest
around the person you're doing hashem's
command
so there's something which is called
makifaq
it hovers around in a very very close
snug way when you do certain midsoles
and then this mac
like it hovers around more on it and
more in a circumference type of way it's
not so snug
and like driver says it's explained
length and the altar explains there at
length on the cutie toyota at the end in
other words what does that mean is a
missile which is more um
and one that's more macrophage so the
arthropod explains that a mitzvah that
we also understand which is given to us
tamvadas that's a makavakara if we
understand it we comprehend it that's
already a mitzvah even though it's a
myth as a command from hashem we're
doing hashem's will but we can
comprehend it it makes sense to us
that's called makarov but then there's a
missile which is beyond logic we don't
understand it that's called makifa
because when you do it you still connect
hashem but it's not internalized because
you don't understand it and the way we
understand the way we internalize things
is through comprehension
so again so to be to to clarify mitzvos
are market
as we learned almost like four levels of
mitzvos there's mix of the weights on
high the way which is down below and
though he misses down below there's mark
if a curve
which means the ones we understand the
ones we don't understand
that is makif which is referring to
misfits but then as they avoid our
spiritual work of premiums how we
internalize things how do we internalize
things into what we use to internalize
things our intellect
so what do you what do we process with
our intellect we learn torah so anytime
you sit down and learn torah you read
whatever you're reading and then you sit
and you comprehend it you understand it
and you and you think about it you
meditate on it so now you're
internalizing
you're bringing into a premium into an
internalization
hashem's intellect and hashem's ideas
so it was like doctor explains in tanya
that that um that uh learning torah is
like food and it's like it says it says
on the term it says
the terror is going into my innards now
when we learn torah we get internalized
now so again just before we get uh
deeper into it so the river is
explaining is there's two components in
the temple one is the avoid of
machiavelli the the curtains and what is
that by the premiums the different
different vessels that we used in the
temple the same thing also in our
spiritual service of ashram there's the
makif which is the midst voice and in
the mark of the midsize is there's a
level the way he misses on high but they
relate to us the ones that we comprehend
that's machiavelli the ones where you
don't comprehend this market for a hike
and then there's when we learn torah
that's the avoiding the premier we we're
understanding the terrible sound
so the other says even though generally
speaking torah is more paneers
but nevertheless the what is that what
does the verse say oita or kasama
in other words that
when it's referring to the light of
terror it also uses the term of a
garment and a garment we know is a
market and rubber explains there's two
levels in learning toro there's a
learning toilet the revealed part of
toronto and re learning toyota the
internal part of the tutorial so one is
more torah where it's more market and
then when you learn sinners and you
internalize it becomes more of a
preemies
now
so let us watch our spiritual work in
this world
to do mit's voice
and learn torah and that's how we do the
spiritual service of the temple that's
we also limit us from a personal level
learning torah and doing mitzvahs we're
making our physical abode amid this for
hashem
so rabbit says when we do
create armageddon which means when we
learn torah it means we're doing the
volleyball baseball
and we do a mitzvah we were doing the
avoiding the experience right from
we do it on a spiritual level
in other words by learning torah and
doing midtoys so by us doing our avoid
our spiritual work we merit
as the verse says after the migdash so
hashem says
so you should do
and others and rashi says what i mean
you should do not only then when you
built the basement because russia's
clearly it's referring to the race for
future generations it means to us
hashem commanders to make them make this
regime we know is learning turning doing
emitters and then the verse afterwards
and it's an everlasting commandment till
today every time we learn torah we're
doing mid-size we are trained taser
we're building the base amigdas
so we'll merit
by doing our work will merit to have the
ultimate third base amigdos
the big the bigness of the awesome
lovely and as we know in reference to
the third base omegas wasn't saying the
prophets uh or in the torah actually
that the mignolet
with his own hands
because even though that the the
tabernacle didn't last forever
forever and the same thing also the base
of migration king solomon didn't last
forever but what's going to come to the
base of mikdash
a building that's going to last forever
and like it said explain in the zarya
that the third race to make this is
going to be really nitsy really
everlasting but where does it come from
that we'll that will that eventually
will have the third baseman just gonna
last forever so ever says the
the energy and the strength
comes from the
original
mgdos the
made
and as the torah says clearly the chain
tassel the rights like rashi says we
we're that we'll be us doing learning
turn doing missiles we're going to do
our part that will give the energy for
the third base amigos and driver's says
finish off and it sounds like this it
should be the will of hashem
that very very soon
will have the building of the third base
amigdas
how's that going to happen because we
learn now in the terrier about about the
base of ignos and we know the terror is
everlasting and especially when you
learn in this week's torah portion about
the building in the basement
and like there were brings to the famous
saying in the altar that a person has to
live we have to learn with the passion
of the week
so because but when we learn the past of
the week and we learn about the building
amygdalas we have the strength and the
power
that by us being busy learning torah
and doing mitzvots which the avoid of
osli migdash
will merit
very very soon very quickly to building
the third base amigdas which is going to
happen
in the true and complete redemption
through mashiach at kenu and as we know
it's brought down to zoya and many other
places that the base how mig this is
already built it's ready on high and it
just has to come down to this world and
literally like within a second just like
you would say a second it's going to
come down to this world and you're ever
finished with
your menu
it should happen very very quickly in
our days literally in a physical level
so obviously you see it's a very very
powerful hasidic discourse because it
shows us that a temple is everlasting
maybe not the physical temple but the
spiritual work that we do by learning
torah and mitzvos makes the temple
everlasting besides the temple
everlasting on high but more importantly
we learn taro and we do mix as we do the
avoid of the base of mgdos we are
creating
the energy for the third base of amigdas
and let's hope that our next class will
be in your salayan iraqi dish have a
great and blessed week shavua tov
