Season 6

Explore the divine intricacies of the Mishkan with us as we uncover the wisdom woven into this holy structure. The journey through the tapestry of the Mishkan is not just an architectural study; it's a spiritual excavation. The sagacity of Nefeshachayim, Ramosha Cordovero, and the Rambam offer varied lenses through which to view its profound symbolism. But as we navigate these teachings, we reach a revelation: the sanctity of Shabbos takes precedence even over the Mishkan's construction. This episode promises to illuminate the intersection of divine craftsmanship and the timeless sanctity of the Sabbath.

Our discussion takes a heartfelt turn as we conclude our series, shining a light on the splendor of Shabbos. Rediscover the delight of preparation and the joy of welcoming the Sabbath into your home. We share practical advice – like sipping a pre-Shabbos coffee or immersing in the weekly parasha – to enhance the sanctity and celebration of this special day. Join us in rekindling the spark for Shabbos Kodesh, elevating your weekly rest day to a profound celebration of faith and tradition.

00:00:01.842 --> 00:00:20.989
Over the last month you've probably heard a great deal of explanations and preaching about the great lessons and profound depth and intricate wisdom all pertinent and to describe the building and construction of the Mishkan.

00:00:20.989 --> 00:00:41.622
Speakers and speakers alike will try their hand at Kabbalah to simply bring out the simple lessons of the Mishkan, for its depth, its meaning can be hidden and it can take a couple different licks to get to the depth.

00:00:41.622 --> 00:00:59.561
And inside of the Tutsi Pop, the Mishkan is something so sacred, the tapestry so divine, and the truth is the lessons from the Nefeshachayim to Ramosha Kordevero to the Rambam and Pirkaya at Slacha.

00:00:59.561 --> 00:01:08.989
They all have different approaches as to what the hidden symbolism is that we should pick up on when we study the layout of the Mishkan.

00:01:08.989 --> 00:01:28.784
And all of this leads us to an unexpected, unforeseen conclusion in an entirely different area, because we are told that while building the Mishkan is of the utmost importance, but the work on the Mishkan, it should cease.

00:01:28.784 --> 00:01:39.683
The Mishkan and its erection should bend the knee when Shabbos should arrive, achashabsoysai Tishmayru.

00:01:40.646 --> 00:01:55.908
You may have thought that the Mishkan building should override Shabbos, but no, shabbos would seem, at a certain level, to be more of prime importance, more timely that Shabbos trumps over the building of the Mishkan.

00:01:55.908 --> 00:02:21.514
And this should remind us very frankly that while Shabbos may have lost its sparkle and grandeur because of our over-exposure to it, they're all we meet at every couple days, once a week, but it seems in a certain way to be more special, more powerful in a way, and even building of the Mishkan.

00:02:21.514 --> 00:02:34.711
And if we've heard all about the Mishkan and all the deep lessons, we'll now also notice the importance and the gravity of keeping Shabbos, of the holiness of Shabbos.

00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:49.263
And if Shabbos has become plain in some way, consider being a torahach a little bit more, showing more preparation for Shabbos, for that will help you to enjoy and bask in the holiness of Shabbos.

00:02:49.263 --> 00:02:50.901
Practically.

00:02:50.901 --> 00:02:55.663
Consider being present Friday night by having a coffee on air of Shabbos to have some energy.

00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:04.525
Learn the parasha so that the balkore and his words that leave his lips are more, they leave more of an impact on you.

00:03:04.525 --> 00:03:10.421
Consider having a certain lima, something that you learn about the mitzvahs of the weekly parasha.

00:03:10.421 --> 00:03:17.811
Set the table on Wednesday night to look forward to this great mitzvah of keeping Shabbos.

00:03:17.811 --> 00:03:35.394
So while, yes, we are now wrapping up the torah about the Mishkan, but it is crucial to remember that, as important the Mishkan is, it still cannot be built on the holy day of cessation, the day of Shabbos.

00:03:35.394 --> 00:03:41.483
Let us regain that excitement for the holy day of Shabbos Kodesh.
