Season 6

Have you ever considered the symphony of divine guidance orchestrating our daily actions? Join us on a profound journey as we unravel the ancient directive 'As Hashem commanded Moshe' – a phrase that encapsulates the essence of obedience and dedication mirrored in the creation of the Mishkan. Through this exploration, we aim to illustrate how every facet of our existence, from the mundane to the monumental, can ideally resonate with the narrative of living in harmony with the divine.

This episode is not just an auditory experience; it's a reflective odyssey that invites you to align the chronicle of your life with the timeless values of our sacred traditions. As we discuss the repeated biblical motif of actions performed 'just as Hashem commanded Moses', we challenge you to envision a life where this powerful narrative underscores your every decision and deed. Listen closely, and let the soundtrack of your existence be a testament to a purpose-driven life, echoing the footsteps of our ancestors with every chapter of your personal story.

00:00:01.844 --> 00:00:09.903
Imagine for a second that your life had a narrator, a voice that would speak out everything that's going on in your life.

00:00:09.903 --> 00:00:21.047
Now, watch as Maishi will turn the corner his shoelaces have now become untied and watch as the lioness will now attack the will to be in the jungle.

00:00:21.047 --> 00:00:36.225
Now as Sara will be going towards the synagogue to pray, recite Psalms, or maybe we'll go with an inner basketball voice of a famous sports broadcaster and oh, and he puts the filling on his left arm and bang.

00:00:36.225 --> 00:00:37.268
This is unbelievable.

00:00:37.268 --> 00:00:40.567
Just imagine you had a narrator in your life.

00:00:40.567 --> 00:00:43.002
What would the script be?

00:00:43.002 --> 00:00:45.469
What would the soundtrack sound like?

00:00:45.469 --> 00:00:56.728
Hopefully it's a positive story that ends with a climax of success and your mission to obey Hashem's commandments and further Hashem's plan.

00:00:56.728 --> 00:01:00.805
Hopefully the narrator does a beautiful job on the story of your life.

00:01:00.805 --> 00:01:09.701
And then the story of the building of the Mishkan that takes up nearly half of the entire book of Exodus.

00:01:09.701 --> 00:01:20.847
The narration, the story, the line that keeps showing up, that narrates beautifully all of the actions of the Jews as they build.

00:01:20.847 --> 00:01:28.890
The Mishkan is, and they acted Kaashertziva, hashem as Moshe, just like Hashem commanded Moses.

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:39.591
And the narrator, the great narrator, the great teacher, akalash Baruch, who he continues, and that as soon as they built the Kior, kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe, they put up the Kroshem.

00:01:39.591 --> 00:01:50.352
Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe, and about seven or eight times of the same axiom, that same description of the acted just like Hashem commanded Moses.

00:01:50.352 --> 00:01:59.084
I lost count, but I believe it's almost eleven or twelve times in our parasha, that axiom of Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:01:59.084 --> 00:02:10.044
The goal, ladies and gentlemen, is that the narration of our life, the description, the chronicle of our days.

00:02:10.044 --> 00:02:14.271
It should always be said that the action was done.

00:02:15.312 --> 00:02:16.842
Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:02:16.842 --> 00:02:20.408
He danced at the wedding, just like God commanded Moses.

00:02:20.408 --> 00:02:28.665
He tied his shoes, put his right shoe on right first, left afterwards, tied the left one first and the right shoe he tied the latest afterwards.

00:02:28.665 --> 00:02:30.229
Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:02:30.229 --> 00:02:32.322
He went to work.

00:02:32.322 --> 00:02:33.425
Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:02:33.425 --> 00:02:37.400
He was filled with integrity, and his financial matters, kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:50.088
Every single action, the narrator of our life should be able to follow the description of the action with the words Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe.

00:02:50.088 --> 00:03:12.721
So I ask you, what is the script, the words of the narrator and the description of your life, whatever it is, let's strive that it always will be filled with the words Kaashertziva Hashem as Moshe, that he acted just like Hashem commanded Moses.
