The vital insights of Rashi

Just to end Parshas Trumah with one Maro Makim that Reb Yanky showed me and that is just Lashon Hazav shel Rabbeinu Bechaya or if you prefer Rabbeinu Bachya. And this is at the very very end of Parshas Vayakel, the daf. Just read it inside. Ki Sipur Binyan Hamishkan V'Kelim, the story of the Mishkan and Kelim. Everything's a story, right? The story of the Mishkan and the Kelim. This year Arkan V'Rachav and the Kaimason. And all the Hakira, like this Avoda, these hot Rashis here in Parshas Trumah that talk about the the length and the width and the height. It's a big mitzvah to engage in this Hakira, to learn these Rashis in Parshas Trumah, says Reb Nachman Bachya, is a mitzvah Gedola. Ad Shamayim Yagi'a S'chara. Imagine what a Lashon. And it's Torah M'Dafis L'Arna. Chazal told us a very similar idea regarding the Korbanos. That any person that engages in learning the Parshas of the Korbanos in Yona'am and he's going to involve himself in understanding them, learning Kodshim. K'ilu Hikriv Korban Atzmo. It's as if he brought the actual Korban. This is what the Chazal said. Avoda Torah, you see from here. Al HaSipur B'Feil Bilvad S'chara Eitai U'Plos Min HaFo'el that's telling the story. I love the Lashon story. But telling the story of the Mishkan, cuz everything is a story. Telling the story of the Mishkan and the Kelim is something that that in and of itself, without actually doing it, you're going to get a tremendous amount of S'char. It's K'ilu Asa HaMa'aseh. D'Ikar Korban Al Mizbeach Hu Min HaSipur Inyan HaMishkan. The same is true for the Mishkan and the Mikdash. The Eikev Al Achas Kama V'Kama Imagine if you know the Premius Inyan HaMishkan you're going to get. This is what Dovid HaMelech meant when he said Sovu Tzion V'Hakifuha. Right, gather Tzion or surround, make circles around it. Sifru Migdaleha. Count its Migdalim. We mentioned in the past that there was one of the Talmidei HaGra when he went to Eretz Yisrael so he started walking up and down the streets and he started counting the the houses and somebody said, "Why are you counting the houses?" He said he's been waiting his whole life to be M'Kaim what Dovid HaMelech said. Sovu Tzion V'Hakifuha, Sifru Migdaleha. He was walking through the Ghetto of Yerushalayim and he was counting another house, another house. Sifru Migdaleha. And in the Z'chus of the Sibuv B'Nigleh U'V'Nister And that Z'chus will be Zocheh that the Sh'china is going to return Chinema. So interesting. The Fyomi we're learning Kodshim now. Right, every single day we're Zocheh to be Oisek B'Parshas Olah, to be Oisek B'Parshas Chatas these days, to be Oisek B'Parshas Menachos. But there's something every single day. And amazingly this week, right, and next week the Gemara digresses a little bit from the core Sugyas of Menachos. And even though we're learning Maseches Menachos and we're learning Kodshim, we're not really being told Tiras Olah and Tiras Chatas and Tiras Menachos. That's why you have to learn Chumash. Cuz these weeks by learning Trumah, Titzaveh, Ki Sisa, Vayakel, P'kudei we have this Reb Nachman Bachya, he said there's no difference. He said if a person is Oisek and he's M'Saper, he tells the story of the Korbanos you get S'char as if you brought it. Finished the Halacha and the P'shuto and we should take a V'Zocheh in the Z'chus of the Sibuv and the Hekef. Literally like the Talmidei HaGra. But figuratively Harving in the Sugya and going back and going forth we should be Zocheh to what Reb Nachman Bachya says. Yoshiv Sh'chinaso V'Zocheh. We should be Zocheh to the Pasuk that says Ki Zeh Elokeinu L'Olam Va'ed Hu Y'Nageinu Al Mos. V'Heira V'Yomeinu. Amen.
