that's a lot of snow markets a partial portion of throughout this video because of his sunglasses you'll probably be able to see the reflection of the camera that I'm holding don't let that distract you okay because I know it distracts me while editing in this week's Torah portions Torah portions yes there are two this week we learn all about the tabernacle seriously what's up with the tabernacle that has been the subject of five torah portion doesn't the torah have some rules to get to what's up with this long story of constructing the tavern at the fact that it's construction involved so many details isn't the answer because the torah actually repeats details that it already said that's what repeating means it means it already Ellie come on get with it the terror repeats that we donated materials the embroidery the weaving the hammering the building all over why doesn't God just tell us how to build a tabernacle and then let deter a record that we actually did and then we'd be like oh the Torah reading this week in synagogue is so short okay no that's not a positive thing so why repeat all the details this week's to tours are the last two in the second book of the five books of Moses the book of Shanice four in English Exodus the answer to this question can be found in the first book the book of Boreas or Genesis when Abraham decided it was time for his son Isaac to marry he sent his servant Eliezer to go find him a suitable manage the Sarah recorded his journey until and including Eliezer meeting Rebecca our righteous mother and then speaking to her parents telling them about Esther and the Terr doesn't suffice with saying Eliezer told them about his journey no the Torah tells us Elias is journey all over again why say it all over again it's a good question a the Talmud says that from the fact the Torah repeats the whole story of Eliezer servant of Abraham it shows us that God loves the words of our forefather servants more than the words of torah of our forefathers children now what exactly that means and why I don't know that's more honest I was gonna say it's for another time but the truth is I have to really look up what that means before I talk about it but the idea is there God loves this story and therefore he repeats it again in the Torah and the same is true about the tabernacle God loves this Mitzvah yes he obviously loves and wants at single Mitzvah but the building of the tabernacle is the underlying theme of the entire Torah this is why God made everything we have and no this is why we're here to make a tabernacle for God to bring him into this corporate world into our corporate lives I hope I'm pronouncing corporal correctly and I hope that just because I just made a joke it shouldn't take away from the seriousness of the subject at hand we have to do our part and build this tabernacle and when we go ahead and do a mitzvah we are building that Tabernacle with all of its details okay okay yeah you could say a lot of things if you put music behind you of course it's gonna sound all nice and beautiful very soon we will see the physical sanctuary the third and final Holy Temple in Jerusalem with the revelation of mushiya and may it be now [Music] you
