Home2Torah On Which Day did this Assembly Take Place and Why? Rabbi Poston VaYakel 5778

[Music] okay guys welcome to today we're dealing with parshat the Akao ad the coup de it's a double portion and I'm really glad to see you all so now we're on camera for this parsha okay it's really exciting and I don't know what can I tell you that every party really is but this this is actually something very unique that I that I really love because I think you know that you but never talk about unity you know unity cry tried to create a unity and so the verse says that Moses gathered everyone together in heaping the English it says he assembled in the Hebrews says we are cam Moshe it's called a doctor knees rail and he said to him I never said to them and these are the things which I shed commanded to do them okay we're going to discuss that much later in the class but what is this gathering when did it take place so if you have the source sheets you can see Rashi on this verse this is in in Exodus chapter 35 verse 1 the most is called and he wanted to assemble everyone together so the word of the Yael ready assembled them when on the day after Yom Kippur when he came down from the mountains okay so the reason this is going to be a little bit problematic is because if you look back in chapter 18 this is number 2 all of your sushi I believe chapter 18 verse 13 this is a partial 0 and partial Israel we all know that Jethro came up with this fantastic yeah this is Moses father-in-law might have been concerned about the time that his own son-in-law spent with his daughter but he saw that mostly was sitting around all day judging the people and he thought this is not the way to go and he came up with a brilliant suggestion of a hierarchy of the court system so that Moses would only think the most difficult cases and the lower court systems could deal with thee in the easier cases so what does Rashi sail in that verse Rashi says it was on the day after Yom Kippur okay come on down eighth chapter 18 and chapter 35 it's the same day Moses is sitting and and judging the people in parshas Israel and his father-in-law says something kind of give you know let's let's let's create a system that works Rasha tells us that was on the day of the young keep order our partial we're in the middle of already the Mishkan discussing all these ideas of the Mischka smack in the middle we're dealing with the same day when Moses gathers everyone together so yeah I'm gonna try to describe to you why this is the same day and you're gonna be amazed not me it's the Torah first of all the table is not important okay now we know that everyone knows it's not water how do we know because there's different days you go through and chronologically and you find that there's different dates so we have a major argument of most Rashi and the rum pod then hold that yes they both agree that the tour is not an order but that's only where the dates it show you this not water Rashi hopes it's never an order even when there's no dates mention Rambam holds it's in order except when things are mentioned but look at here we have many many Parsi of many many chapters and it's the same day how can that be so let me give you a timeline what are we dealing with here if it's a day every young keep or and I want you to write this down you have we left on the 15th of Nisan 50 days later we stand out at Sinai for the revelation we call that sugar out some people call Pentecost so that was 50 days after we left Egypt that let's just use them the 6th of Siva as a marker and 40 days later Moses is supposed to come down with the first set of tablets at least the only set of tablets we were gonna but unfortunately on that 17th day of Tom knows which is 40 days after sugarless we were off at the gum cap so Moses breaks the tablets gone for the next 40 days he's involved 24/7 praying for our souls that we should be saved and forgiven even though God says gonna start with you and Moses says no way be out of the book please keep them around nobody will believe in you anymore because they can seriously what a desecration of everything you've accomplished up until now stay with the Jewish people and when the 40th day was the first of ello God says I forgive that come up to receive the second set and that day four days later is the tenth of Tishrei the tenth of Tishrei Moses comes down with the second set of tablets and that day is Yom Kippur so now we have arrived at Yom Kippur did Moses have any time to sit and judge anything No so part is mr. Oh when Jethro sees Moses sitting all day long from morning until evening as the verse says not here but actually in verse chapter 18 verse 13 it came about on the next day the Moses sat down to judge the people and the people stood before Moses from the morning till evening but also look it says the next day it was the next day that's LaBeouf I rot yo lucky morning and our day when Moses is good what he's going to tell me about Shabbos see verse 2 and and verse 4 he's telling them about the true love look at verse 5 take from yourselves a portion for a sham everyone whose heart motivates him he shall bring it and then these are the what remember we talked about a half a shekel for the foundation when they called the sockets the other mean and the other half a shekel for the communal offerings and the third of the three true vows were for the freewill offering which were the thirteen different ingredients which are worse than discusses so we're talking about a free will offering here now so I'm going to back into the Fiat car he points this out right away you have our verse which is the day after Yom Kippur in parshas Israel where it says Rahim of Herat Legation motionless for the table was the following day and Moses had to judge the people and Rashi says there that it's the day of the old people so the clear car must explain that this is well known that Moses gathered everyone together at this point our parsha to inform them of the command the mitzvah to make the donations and to build to construct the Mischka through their contributions through the devotee now what was Moses concerned look at what do you think Moses was concerned like he's he's it man he's like the head prophet at the head stage you know what's he worried about he's worried that maybe somebody would make a donation to the building of this house of God that unites all of us was something stolen something that doesn't belong to him think about his thing and what would happen why would someone deliver something stolen the truth is he didn't actually steal it he just thought it was his Greg don't we sometimes pick the Articles up and then he'd come from the story you realize I took someone else's back what's a big miss route to return it right it's quote thievery ah if you can decide you're gonna keep it it's steeper so what happened was when we left Egypt so on the ninth plague we got to see where the Egyptians held their hit their goal and then the night before we left we went and actually borrowed from them and we were able to tell them you lied to us we know exactly where it is and that was only a small portion of all the goal that we took out of Egypt remember God promised in RAM when you go you're gonna come out with a great wealth that would have been a lot of things to carry so God did a real kindness and offensive have you heard this way to hear this loves us so the Egyptians had many gods now it does say the Torah that the the Egyptians they feared God some believed in God they hid their animals during the the pec the plague of pestilence so when we were by the sea it says three days after me to return Pharaoh sent chariots with horses so actually how they get the horses these are the horses of the survivors of the Egyptian pestilence and they brought with them gold in other words where the Jews live they asked their neighbors for the gold that Egypt's a big country today 80 million people it's not just by the Nile it's a whole country so all these horses came from the people that had year Shabbat year they had a healthy fear of God but the gomorrah tells us that even the most the best of the non-jews the best of the idol worshipers are not worth a whole lot okay and what @xa the phrase but that even these people they came out to kill us okay we have to watch our backs even from the best of the non-jews so this is you know I have a phrase that says paranoid Jews live longer we heard that way anyway so you can imagine right even the best of the Egyptians came out to kill us but their God created a miracle even though he killed and smashed and wiped out all the idols in Egypt he left one behind so when we get to the Dead when we get to the sitting of splitting of the sea it mentions in the worst P I wrote there's certain items that still exist this idols the other of wealth and gold and so they thought that they brought brought their idols with gold that Idol still existed so God tricked them ah this one you know holding on you know like make you believe that that's what it still has power because it's not totally destroyed so the Egyptians said oh they're going with their warriors in hopes that their God could still overcome the Jews so when the Egyptians get drowned in the sea Hashem caused all the gold to come up on the seashore so we walked for seven days without having the care go all that way you get the passage you think we complain to popular in the desert we're going to complain that whole week so one less we could complain okay is it isn't great anyway so when people were taking the gold off the shore if two people grabbed it at the same time it's whoever graph first belongs to that's how an acquisition is made whoever grabs first so if two two people bent over but whatever maybe they didn't see the other person they thought they grabbed it first the other person thought he grabbed it first he's not a thief he's not a Hebrew Goslin he's not like a thug he actually believes in a party first the other guy I thought he acquired it first so these two people are a little fighting over a certain piece of wealth or material so this has to be resolved before it's going to be contributed and donated to the temple of God which is the great and holy house of God that brings peace between people how can it be built upon animosity between people so these things have to be resolved before the donations can come in isn't that beautiful so now we're going to see inside don't take my word for it say he said there's a verse in in Co helis includes the a sneeze that's 3:16 just to give you an idea how bad it would be King Solomon saw how bad it is he said moreover I saw Under the Sun in the place of justice there's wickedness and the place of righteousness there's wickedness we overeat the toxins of Shemesh Malcolm A mish-mosh AMA Russia Buffalo's epic genre Russia it can't be it's not supposed to be you cannot have in the place of mishpokhe of righteousness or in a place of justice you cannot have evil it's not supposed to be built upon evil so these these disputes need to be resolved before the contributions are made that's why it says the clean process alkane Hilary's most popular so Moses makes this announcement first and what does he say anybody that owns anything me Bob the Vario Yasha Lila Bishop ah come to me for judgment and in this way that everybody all people can come to a place of real peace amongst themselves so the note of the class had mashallah he would be able to tell people what belongs to you and what doesn't belong to you through a judgment amongst them and then only then would he then tell them now you have to make contributions and looking 30:55 right as I mentioned before it says take from yourselves maybe come what does mate I mean literally from yourselves meaning low shut covering from yours we shall attend the lovely shelf have a reading you have to take from what belongs to you not go belongs to someone else are you guys with me okay you have to bring what belongs to you so the word needs camp seems totally superfluous then he says this is the three of cars I give it you know it's pretty impossible for one person to judge six hundred thousand in one day so let's take it a few days and knowing that you want to save one day how can any one person judge as the verse says look at the verse it says actually it's not in this verse blues in the earlier verse was said in eighteen chapter 18 13 it says Moses judged me llamo Tom the people stood out Moshe myth huh bull care ah ha Arab from the morning until night then what does that sound like God give me a hint something to do with creation right every day it says it says right I have it here we arived evoker rightly he ever leave opened it was evening and there was morning but here it says from evening mia Erath I'd go care so it's the opposite so what did we learn when to you this this is fantastic unbelievable it makes you want to be a judge Rashi says and coats of Gomorrah that says like this than any judge who sits in judgment with the goal of trying to reach the truth his goal is to arrive at the ultimate truth then he's made like a partner with God in the creation of the world as it says in the creation he era will evoke her it was evening and it was morning God judges and night and we judge during the day when we're not judging during the day God would step in we don't want that trust me he allows us and partners the whole point is that were partners were do you imagine us but uh you don't flip is right there it's a foot spa to tell us that we're partners with God yes we're partnering with God as long as the judge is sitting remember what's a judge caught in Hebrew Elohim a little mean did you know that and what's God taught the same word we were actually partners with God and He allows us he wants us he demands it of us and that's why one of the seven Noahide laws is the sub system of justice justice on this earth on this planet on this sphere and this universe is so important and we are partners with God remember we talked about the idea that you have a Sanhedrin whatever they say you have to do God would change the universe if they say that the new moon is a certain day guess what happens the moon is the new moon is the day they say God rearranges the constellations in the whole world based on what not man how about you and me say but what the congregation or in this case we're talking about any judge who's trying to reach the absolute truth and what's the absolute truth God himself who's trying to reach the absolute truth is actually a partner with God as we said Moses that from morning until evening God says me everybody voted it was evening and there was morning each day and then he wants to say first of all that's not true meaning that Moses really didn't have time to judge them so when would he have of the Michigan that's why I went through with you the time period from the time of leaving Egypt until the day after Yom Kippur he had no time he was quite busy become become Godman a double unleash mala beyond the fact guess what there's no way that all the Jews could have brought all those you know the half shekels two times over and all the ingredients to build a Michigan in just one day either live how you Modi I'm shackled Amish nine alluvium all of this is what Moses was trying to get across during that time period remember it took a few days for them to get all the stuff together during that time if anybody has a dispute over any of the items that I mentioned that Weston or any you know any items you have in your possession that you'd like to donate before you do that come forward and you'll be judged the other one will be judged let's see if there's any witnesses let's see if we could remember what happened and come to a conclusion because there's no way because it's great and holy house of God can be built on we call it stolen items or items that don't belong to you okay any questions at this point okay we'll continue outside that Ram is another bar in a hinting way there is to say that this gathering was for what purpose the table they had shallow main and in order to mediate peace God wanted Moses to mediate peace cuz you know why ain't other daughter in nachiketha I fast a man cannot live with a snake you can't live in the same house I see some of the faces so two smiles there's no way you're getting a little bit level of a mouse a snake maybe the snake overcome anything else but anyway we didn't mean it like a snake or two really really dangerous character yes so after the fact that Moses wanted to God wanted to inform them of the construction of the Mishkan and what is it about this Michigan the Michigan movie place where everybody is a partner the only thing I can come up with is besides like a communist you know we had all house and everyone put in the same amount of money and has the same amount of Rights but let's take another example if you have a timeshare so you have 52 partners every week it's someone else's turn so you're all y'all shared responsibility and of course the pleasure so this is the house of God that every single one of us have been made the contribution is a part of we're actually partners with each other in the in this house so it's as if we're actually living together in the same house even if we're not physically living in the temple but because more contributed to it it's as if we are I read the registers is so beautiful doumeki little host sheep at the coulomb bin Medora thought as if we're all dwelling together therefore Moses needs to gather them all together first so that we would really feel the bond of being a one single unity of a people and that's what Rashi says this is what what day the day after Yom Kippur why let me ask you something you guys experienced Yom Kippur you're like an angel you don't need to eat you don't need to drink you don't need any of the other physical things you know you don't need leather shoes and and you're like you're like an angel and you're on this high you can just every time you breathe you read the Talmud you breathe forgiveness and love from God you're wearing white you really feel like an angel like you don't even have a body that's how you feel so he says whenever we were encamped in the desert every time we camped in the desert it's always says in Hebrew of the economy of the economy they encamped they encamped meaning they encamped which is nice alone what's today it's a lot of individuals but when we stood at Mount Sinai the first time we held sure Lewis a few days before it says these high shaman it he Israel stood simular and you're still there this day after Yom Kippur it's still there it's still that that time of a certain unification so I just read the words again Leticia called honey I'll tell you my love is with Tyrone miss all the other stations and encampments in the desert of the Roy's arguments of the plains except what hoots min ha ha yah she called the Montoya as it says if you want look in chapter 19 verse 2 that's number 6 on the sheet okay they were they journeyed from her feeding they arrived in desmos see my they encamped in the desert and Israel and camped there opps of the mountain in Hebrew it says being harsh on Israel the Yukon not be a condo these huh therefore a person document was munching my cool team name bottom shovel how else are you ever able to gather them together if they didn't have one mind and if they were ever arguing they didn't have the same mind it would be impossible if everyone's going in their own way no direction it never would have worked so which time do you think would be most proper the ages not newcomers in which time to be most prepared and proper that motion could find to gather them together guess what it says it's the day after Yom Kippur well that feeling is still there and why because Yom Kippur is the day that a shaman is the topic banana that then peace and love is medium amongst us do you know what happens in the Jewish community comes Ella 20 days before Yom Kippur people already get in the mood but really right for young kitten by Russia shot up people already asking forgiveness and then you have the 10 days of Torah and then yom kippur whoever you missed on your list you'll go out of your way and everyone's asking each other for forgiveness and their time - how much they love each other how something so bad about how I treated you what I did - whatever it is so then you know Kippur itself so the feeling is still there he's gonna claim that if if Moses would have waited a few more days if you use a very poetic language that the package would have unraveled in other words we were bound of that is it's a symbolic of being bound up together as one and had had it not been that day but a few days later and I'll read it because it's so beautiful about even young oh you're my abode but if a few days would have passed ever ask if you like so I go back where he says he beyond the people are showing the table a banana because the yucca for itself creates that bond of mediation between them that's an eye on the who the actual essence of the day is they are created as a Gouda ox house one unit alkane - macula Kela Maharaj that's why it was so easy to gather them together the following day come on Shoshanna anthemic I am the whole time with the peace of the previous day was still there then it's easy I will eat me on your mind me I'm going but if a few days would have passed I slowed you come ashore there would have been to the possibility for any peace you find it hard to a hobby love because already the package would have a gravel and then what the Hollies loved our component each person goes about their business they forgot you know Yom Kippur is already like behind us and get on with our regular business again unfortunately that's the way humans are but them in other words he's trying to stress the best days that they might have two young people were conditionally knocking Ella sharp so nobody would be against the peace that was being created with words of argumentation war involvement of money you know of course what every comes to money you can always tell you know people can typical crazy and so this is an expression in Hebrew you're not sure you know it how do you really know a person through the coast piece costs coasts I guess we just passed poor coast means a cup with a drink the Seekers come out you know how they really are how they really act so through the coast you can find out what the real essence in the person piece that's their pocket how they spend their money you see what they spend their money on then you know the person they think they spend it for mitzvahs and to serve Hashem and as opposed to you know whatever else people spend their money on and cos what they get angry about so you know lovely you really not going to get angry we got a lot of fake being angry at certain times but the point is if they only get angry for the right things occur from a shell and this short lived and it doesn't just got carried away so in certain cases it actually may be permissible but in most cases it's not so you can tell somebody coast keys costs they're not exactly the same as the cuff and the sadness and the same with this different validation so he says he aim the shuttle and sure you'll keep pouring basic possessions nobody's dealing with money on yom kippur who deals with money on young people were there for moses that maybe the next day he actually says even on that day to deal with these issues I'm not sure what he means by that but he basically says condition the cold side get shot banana the ultimate goal is to create the peace as you agree in the dorm room the door fight and only then they're able to actually dealt the well together in one you know dwelling place and that was the honk all because that's what the michigan represents and remember we talked about every human being has the portion of god remember god he cannot divine he's indivisible there's no way to divide it yet we discussed the idea that each one as a portion of him but we all have an equal portion we all have the I mean it's like basically God himself so we spoke about God wanted this mishegoss deacons welcome you right and said sure he should throw them them I know last week couple weeks ago said meaning in all three compartments but in every one of us God would dwell and if God's dwelling and I have been one of us and we made this house for him that really means we made it for ourselves the the mission is for us hi no Hamish gonna shoot off liqueur we're all partners again in the Michigan also and then after we remain unified through the Moscato asura Hebrew theocracy now Sula cutting are you they have missed on him it's our Father that we shared rightly became unified through this mission cotton that we shared the house Messina kind of punish we actually find later to the Torah that Moses actually does gather us together so the question is if all those other gatherings we're also on the day after Yom Kippur so the answer is no but I'll tell you when he does say and the idea is like this whenever you have like a a first time of anything it creates like an echo that creates a pattern it creates a rude to Shara Sh so the fact that when that first time after the day after Yom Kippur we were gathered together so every other time we're gathered together there should be a holiness and an elevated process I heard from a glass bead said this mention of through the South that even when we the Jews get together and do idol worship if we're unified it would not help he guilt on anywhere near the same level that if we were not unified I mean it sounds counterintuitive but there's something unique about being unified that God never God Himself is one and there's something about the whole unification of the Jewish people and being one that transcends everything so even God forbid when we get together for the wrong thing the fact that we unified overpowers everything else and we're not accountable has a situation you have to go with no so this last part of this paragraph explains if you look back at our verses we mentioned in 35 by chapter 35 verse 1 that most of the assembly the entire Assembly of Israel he said to them these are the things we're going to get into shortly because it says things of the world that the show commanded to do them then it mentions to two verses about survival six days work may be done but the seventh day shall be holy for you they have complete rest for a chef whoever does work when it shall be put to death so you gotta remember that if there's something forbidden to do on Shabbat and desecrating Charlotte it's the death penalty so God better make it clear and short two other we know what it is that we would be doing Walt says his work in English but in Hebrew it says it says Shh is yummy possible AHA right whoa aha we've to find out what it's color Oh see both of us ha you might anybody doesn't know without that so it's not work trust me it's not work it's will uh-huh and the next verse says you shall not kindle fire any of your wells on the Shabbat so right here the theme car points out in the name of the akkada it's a little nut not the joke but in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way it says don't kindle fire that fire should not go out what's fire not locust divisions divisions the arguments amongst people this should not happen on Shabbat that what happens during Shabbat people aren't working right they stand for work so they're there they're bored and there there's more concern that when people are work are not doing anything that they're likely to fight right when the kids are on from school what happens fights break out right you know what I mean so when people are not doing with oh they're not creative they're not constructing things they're just doing nothing it's more likely that fights would develop so that's why this morning after we're told not to work don't be gone beginning to get in arguments and that's another reason why this gathering was done so that we could be told together as a unity don't break up into small groups and by creating arguments amongst each other ok so that's the first part ok what do you guys think so far interesting interesting life-changing I hope so [Applause] yeah so we're going to get into a little bit but I'll give you a little bit of an idea the word melaka is used for the construction of the temple of this Michigan of the tabernacle and God says and we're gonna see if detail now so you're supposed to do pull off after six days meaning you're supposed to do what is needed to construct this Muskaan and then come Shabbos you stop God does not want you to do the milazzo on Shabbat says it right here so what we know is the creative creative acts of work that went into the construction of the tabernacle that is Malacca in other words to carry my couch up my steps and doubt my steps or remove tables around in my kitchen it's not maha it might be work but that's not what's forbidden what's forbidden is Melissa it's only those 39 creative acts now there's only a few that are mentioned in the Torah do not Kindle a fire that's one of the thirty-nine acts but we're gonna see another one very shortly most people say they didn't see it after we get through you'll see not only it but you understand why there's another 38 okay so I'm glad you asked so right away he says if the curse says these are the things which command has sham commanded to do them it says Allah had the vari right that's what it says these are the things now look down to verse 4 it says the over Lucia I'll call a doctor dance travel anymore right Moses said to the whole congregation original sayings and the law this is the thing now I know the word devar can mean thing work worse okay these are the things or this is the lutely the words again Ava had the vari dollar bet Thresh was the hub of our darling bed races same word one is singular one is floor so when you look above and it says Moses gathered everyone right the whole key HeLa and it says to tell them over these things that God commanded to do them it's only Shabbat that's all says Shabbat and then when it talks about the mission on its its Zaldivar so is maybe it's not what I'm trying to suggest is maybe when it says these are the things we do see two verses that talk about Charlotte maybe there are two things here because it says a lot the party by Shabbat and then it says the bar by the Mishnah if it already says that devar can't be included in the Davari vari is two things and divorce water so now let's go to through the clear process me right away points out the words of Barney in first two things but it sounds like he's only telling them about one thing called Shabbat and then there's no way that Davari was going on the mission table because when it says the mission says that the Viator he says this is the thing so he wants to know what does it mean in the first verse these are the things that's the first question the second question he asked now this this requires a little bit of deep Duke Hebrew grammar I'm putting my fingers out like this because there's a validation with two dots it's called it's a ray so the word shakes this yummy hey I said Melissa it says six days what does how does it translate here work may be done six days work may be done is that this is what does that mean would be may be done go back to chapter and X this 20 verse 9 in the Ten Commandments it says six days Ted Tahoe Tahoe not telling Table six days you must work and that's real work that's called labor vicita Coppola Tessa and during those six days of labor of work you do your Malaka but the difference here I want to show you is the word under the tough you have Tahoe with that path and you have take a set and are burst which has it's a rating and what's going to be the difference between the savory and the pop top this is the validation of the bottom so he knows ground or much more than you and I unless mayor jumps in and he says right away that it should have said toss and not tacit policy but what is TAS said fly implies that the work is done on its own meaning may ox melasma the work may be done the work itself can happen okay that's the first thing you just wants to point out that there is a significance to the same rank versus the pot that one would be like a command from you shall work that you must learn as opposed to the work may be done on its own and this plus that he claims is totally superfluous because we already have the verse as I mentioned in Exodus not twenty verse nine six days you shall labor so we were to explain that over there he says so he wants to try to resolve these issues by saying why does it seem to barring plural since the inner myths was a primary purpose of this mystery that was commanded for what purpose for the malefic commissioner the real thing that is going on here and parshas we opted out is about the you know the Mishnah there's no doubt about it and you should evolve yourself when six days of the week during the six days you do your construction you love yourself but what happens on the seventh day on the seventh day do not involve yourself in the construction of the Michigan everyone with me so far there's a concept the Michigan building the Michigan does not push off Shabbat the it's a Shabbat and then it says miss console in Michigan overrides Shabbat meaning you must stop love so you must stop your work to to observe the Shabbat Shabbat does not push it off now that's not true in every case there are things that push off other businesses and it has to do with the order where they are so when it says for example on the eighth day a child is born the eighth thing you must circumcise him so in the shirt exceptions to this case the child is born healthily on Shabbat the following Shabbat will have a bris milla because of falls on the eighth day which means that pushes sharpest off the Michigan does not push off Shabbat so here you have two things remember we said why does it save the barbary why does it say these things the number one to be commanded about the building of the Mishkan and the other most important Mithra here is not to be involved in the Michigan on Shabbat since there's a minbari there's two things being taught here and those two verses number one - yes do the mission job and number two once you buy not to do the mission okay and then it says take a set melaka that same ray under the top implies on its own right so we don't understand what that means but murk may be done since the ether Mitzvah the prime command here is really what to bring to bring what to bring the freewill offerings also this is called wah ha what is actually called Mullica carrying from one domain to another now what do I mean by domains because it gets a little confusing after there's a private domain I'm right now in the private domain has walls and as a roof private only then there's a thing called public domain we're six hundred thousand people like we're in each we were in the desert this encampment we had six hundred thousand people or more is called public domain now anything in between is basically we thought no man's land it's basically a private domain but not really nobody can really say it's a private domain but it's not a public domain either so the rabbi's call it for practical purposes a public domain that's why in June when Shabbat cannot walk out of his house carrying any items in his pocket can't even carry his key to his house can't carry us to leave to show can't carry his prayer book it's leave entry except if there is what we call a rabbinic thing called an eruv where they it's basically closing the community with a virtual wall because we know that if you have a walled city you can carry inside of the walled city it's an enclosure anywhere there's an enclosure and again you can be under 6,000 you know how to a place where 600,000 people can congregate together now let me just go back to that that is a place where 600,000 people can communicate convey together that is at least 16 almost wide 62 is wide and straighten that out all the way down let's say like in Broadway New York that is a place where it's called a ritual surrounding it's a public thoroughfare and therefore the people living on the east side of Manhattan they can carry their in there in there it's a few square blocks because they they made a nerve but they can't cross Broadway to the other side carrying things they have to leave them behind and cross Broadway without things in their bodies but there's not that many places that have that problem Jerusalem most every Jewish every city that has a large population of Jews has this error and the error of pace basically takes care of what we call the karmis that in-betweens that dead man's zone that dead zone it's not private it's not public so we're going to make it private so you don't get confused right so everyone has a map every Jewish community has a map on which lamppost which pose this string goes around and it creates a virtual hot air a virtual courtyard we're all shared shared homes in a certain courtyard and if we're able to live some of normal on Shabbat having babies otherwise you could rather your house you can carry a baby you could even walk with the stroller so no complaints I'm just telling you that modern society has adopted to these things and but Jota you're not allowed to walk out you didn't have an air in our places in the world many Jews lived with there are no Arabs and they deal with it they make a how do they carry their King they make their belt buckle a key the actual weld into the belt buckle their key and therefore anything you wear as a garment is not a problem many other ways to deal with other issues you actually wear your towels to shul instead of carrying a bag you just put it over your head and you're wearing it and of course you can have her your sinner in true already anyway how did we get to this so this idea of carrying so he wants to tell us just like it says here if you go to the verse in 36:6 you can find that number nine on the sushi Moses commanded then they announced in the camp saying let no man or woman do any more work it's going to work and Hebrew love how from the offerings so that people stopped ringing you understand the work that he was referring to was the carrying not to carry each Misha how yasuo no aha each man they should no longer do Malacca the Kamehameha V and the people stopped bringing the woods towards any degree shrila Sakai - they stopped doing milazzo as the the holy gifts or the watering of the holy and they stopped ringing so this idea that carrying is one of the thirty-nine mala fault taking from one domain to another is forbidden on Shabbat and it's pretty clear right here although many people we know might disagree but this is one of the places is very clear how about Shannon double emiru shoes more shoes nigrum aloha carry these gifts from one domain to another is actually called malacca whole so that's one of the thirty-nine forbidden acts on Shabbat not only that that particular Malacca what does it say it says chaos Heywood did say ray now it says not that you shall work but that the work may be done because what are we talking about here we're talking about free will offerings can you command the free will offering no the free will offering comes on its own so now we understand why that's a Razors take I said that work may be done what work she looked like an awful lot more TAS Allah you couldn't say you must work in this form of carrying you know in the way of a command because anything that is given from the aspect of her freewill offering you cannot command but rather each person gives of his own and from himself and that's why it says TAS saying Allah then it comes on its own and comes coming out Shabbos on the damn Shabbat which is shouts to a chef it's forbidden to bring these we will be offerings even from one domain to another okay guys whew it's pretty any stuff he asked me but it changes your life you know if you if you see that violating Shabbat is a death penalty you know you don't want to do that so you move to a Jewish community where you don't get you check your pockets before you leave the house okay check your pockets before you walk out the house of Shabbat if you have a fenced-in yard you know you leave your key outside underneath the flower pot or the the rock you know okay the last thing he says here is there's a mattress now I don't know if you heard of this that the the actual mission on the tabernacle part of it built itself meaning we donated everything and we constructed the parts but in itself kind of constructed himself similar to the menorah Moses threw the gold into the fire and the menorah came out made so I'll just read how we close the midriff the feed Midrash rather sing us out how imma the rabbi's say that the Mishkan mass who sat to make all of it was partially constructed on its own just like the No was constructed on its own because the copper to Michigan the erecting of the Michigan was on its own similarly the constructions on its own look at chapter 40 verse 17 that's exodus chapter 40 verse 17 it says it came to pass in the first month of the second year and the first day of the month that the Mishkan was set up who come to this time the Mishkan was set up and look I mean I don't have in the next verse but the next verse basically says Moses then set up the vishka so that's a little bit out of order the Michigan was set up and then the next verse says that Moses erected the Michigan something is out of whack here so we learned from here that the Michigan partially assembled itself so this is another reason for the same ray just like the the donations came as a free will offering and they came on their own they didn't have to be commanded or worked so to the Mishkan which these donations went towards also there was an aspect of it being set up on its own take I said as if it happened on its own which that's what he says here in the Metro that's why it says tascam I thought that the melaka may be done when its own universe okay how we doing have you doing good what time is it okay so I'll ask you if there's immediately a lot more we can do but I'd rather open it up to questions and then I can turn the camera off and we can ask questions [Music]
