The
first part of the daf discussed halachas
related to the menorah.
The height of the menorah,
the givi'a, kaftorim, u'frachim of the
menorah,
and also how exactly the menorah was
built.
Everyone knows Rashi says in parshas
T'rumah, the pasuk says "v'oseesa
menorah zahav tahor miksha ti'aseh
hamenorah."
It's like Rashi, "ti'aseh hamenorah" is
a funny loshon. Mi'eilav. You see from
here that the menorah was made by
itself. What does that mean? The p'shat
here Moshiach Maschiach, but because
Moshiach Rabbeinu when he was given the
tzivui of the menorah, he was miskasha.
He didn't really know exactly how to
make it. Am Hakadosh Baruchu, Hakadosh
Baruchu told him, "No worries. Hashlicha
sakikara, take the kikar, throw it into
the fire, v'hinaseh me'eilav, and it's
going to be made by itself. L'kach
einich o'taseh. That's why it says
"ti'aseh hamenorah." So the loshon of
"ti'aseh hamenorah" is because the
menorah was built by itself.
I saw that in the shiur from Meir Leib
ben Yitzchak, Reb Meisel Soloveitchik
asked that l'chora the beginning of the
pasuk says "v'oseesa menorah zahav
tahor." Thou shalt make a menorah. If
the menorah ends up being "ti'aseh
menorah," it ends up being built by
itself, so Moshiach Rabbeinu didn't make
the menorah. The fire, Hakadosh Baruchu,
made the menorah. So how was Moshiach
Rabbeinu mikayem the mitzvah of
"v'oseesa menorah zahav tahor?" I mean
it's a very nice miracle, we all know
this. But at the same time there was a
mitzvah, there was a tzivui of "v'oseesa
menorah zahav tahor." And l'chora, by
the menorah just coming out of the fire,
"v'hinaseh me'eilav," wouldn't that
undermine Moshiach Rabbeinu's ability to
go ahead and build the menorah? He was
Moshiach that it's m'vuar in the Brisker
Shiurim that there was a din l'shma in
da'aseh sakelim. So not only do you have
to build the menorah, it requires
l'shma, which means there's a chalos
l'shma that has to
be chal inside the menorah by the
menorah being
made
wouldn't that at first glance mean that
couldn't build a menorah but
you have to say
that being that
didn't know how to make the menorah that
means that
was
that was the way that
made the menorah and
when
took the and he threw it into the fire
he was the midst of the menorah as of
and when he threw it into the fire he
had to be the small
midst of
because the
said
was
it wasn't like
plan B I don't know how to make it so
instead let me just throw it no the
throwing in was the
what was
was that you're going to build the
menorah in a different way than you're
going to build the other
the other you're going to build
literally with craftsmen but the way
you're going to build up the menorah is
but
for sure when
did that it was
but
and it's for that reason he was the
midst of and if there's no question in
the world he had to do it with a
but there's another problem
on this and this
is not
this this every single one of them asked
so if you open up the of Rashi or any
Rashi any Rashi safer that you have
every single
Rashi from the
to the
they all ask the same question and that
is at first glance this Rashi does not
stand with a half a Rashi
we learned the
the said that
saw
them and he went ahead and he did what
he was shown what he was shown and he
did what he did what he was shown and he
did what he was shown and he did what he
was shown and he did
What was the point? Didn't know how to
do it. So they showed him the
and by showing him the now he knew what
to do. But at first glance all
seem to scream that
built the
albeit he didn't
know how to do it. It was very
difficult. It was very challenging. But
once he was explained and once he was
told exactly how to do it at that point
he
exactly how you supposed to go ahead and
do it and he did it. How does it stand
with this
that never built the
but rather
and just
be to the
if you look at Rashi
later in it's literally 10 later
on the
say that Nissan actually at the
of that the quoted in today's daf
actually says
that
the was
having a difficult time understanding
the of the year actually had a of the
of the year of the year and
the year the year is and that
knew what to do. At first glance these
two
really these two
this first is a
so there seems to be a big
in terms of how exactly the year was
built. Now there's a common denominator
between these two years. The common
denominator is that both are suggesting
that
was having a very hard time with the
year.
But in terms of therefore next steps
what happened after that
in the beginning of the season of the
year
quotes the
that says
took the of the year he threw it into
the and it was the year of the year and
at the end of the year
of the season of the year
of the
Rashi seems to say that
showed him a menorah
exactly what it was that he was supposed
to do. So if you look at the Rashi
there's a lot of different
to explain it.
The Maral in the Ari Ari says it over
and over again. He says
the day
sort of the
motion
of the heaven and toughness of the
menorah.
Moshe Rabbeinu in order to build the
menorah, even if it was going to happen
even if it was going to happen by taking
the kickers and throwing it into the
fire had to first understand and have a
of how the menorah was going to be
built. And the reason is is because
miracles say the Maral don't happen in a
vacuum.
People sometimes wait for the miracle to
happen. But really it's not
usually the way miracles take take
place. The Maral the
of Nissan is that a person does this and
a person does and tries to do as much as
he can possibly do and then
says you're trying, you're putting in
the effort, I'm going to take over and
I'm going to take it to the finish line
and I'm going to make sure it happens.
So says the Maral Moshe Rabbeinu had to
start the
and because he had to start the
he had to see exactly how it was going
to be. But at the same time once Moshe
Rabbeinu saw the
it was very hard and he started working
at the said you know what? It's fine. I
got this. Take it, throw it into the
fire and you're going to see that
everything is going to be okay. But the
point is is that this is the
this is the Maral of Nissan.
For a nest to happen you also have to
make a
right the fascinating thing. We always
know
and balancing and
so of course a person has to make a
that's out of base. If you don't make a
start list, nothing is going to happen.
For me
You want a nest to happen, you have to
make a start list. And the moral goes
and the moral says, "I'm going to prove
it to you." He says, "Because look at
all the nizam and a floyd that took
place when the youth and left mid
stride. We just went through it together
in
He said
he's taking a stick and he's hitting
this and he's hitting that." He says,
"But I've created
show your my sasham in
the middle of
the horror of the pile."
had to do some sort of
call on the mid stride.
What's the Indian? The Indian is cuz
had to make some sort of a start list.
And once you make episode start list, at
least start, then
says, "I'm going to go ahead and I'm
going to take over." But here's the you
say that the moral is saying that things
that happen but that
require a start list, nizam also require
a start list. There's no everything is
anyways. And the truth is out sport
normal to start list. So had to do the
had to make some start list when it came
to making the
promise he had no idea.
He mom didn't know. So they had to show
a collage. And
started working on it. And that's the
of the
of
the minute we started working on it. At
that point
came to
and he told him, "You know what? It's
going to happen
I got this. Just take the
just throw it into the fire. The is made
well. The
of the
is
that's what I have to quotes both of
them. The of
the way the was built, it was started
with
the
as the
of the tower. But it concluded it
concluded with mixture
of the
with the tower happening on its own.
