Rabbi Moshe Haber Perashat Vayakhel -Pekudei Building on Purity: The Foundation of Divine Design 3.13.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:01
  From our actually to pressure everybody Akil we have the
• 0:07
  kudeta to close out the Book of Chamot to.
• 0:10
  The tooth floor. He's going to do tomorrow.
• 0:13
  Plus our whole. Dish so a lot of it seems
• 0:15
  repetitive and what it is is my share better telling how Misell
• 0:19
  everybody Akil, which means he gathers he's telling how Misell
• 0:23
  to build to get ready to make the donations to go as that and
• 0:27
  get involved in molding and building the Mishkan and all the
• 0:30
  Kalim and all the tailoring etcetera and just need just to
• 0:34
  open up. I said the first bazookas by
• 0:37
  Akhil Moshe. It's called that Bensale Moshe
• 0:41
  Evan that gathers all the Jewish people and he tells them these
• 0:44
  are the words, these are the divine that Hashem wants you to
• 0:46
  do and he gets involved. He starts off with the law of
• 0:49
  Shabbat, which is interesting, and then he goes on to the
• 0:52
  donations of the Mishkan and then the molding in the building
• 0:54
  in the Mishkan, etcetera. When is this Vayakil happening?
• 0:58
  So as she says, and this will seem very maybe hard to imagine
• 1:03
  in your order view Parashat that you know it as she says,
• 1:06
  vayakil, there's a gathering that happened immediately after
• 1:09
  Yom Kippur, which means immediately after the atonement
• 1:12
  post, which flows now because you had last week and then you
• 1:19
  have this gather. Fine, very nice, immediately as
• 1:22
  Yom Kippur. The thing is, is that we have
• 1:24
  another gathering. It also happened immediately
• 1:28
  after the first Kung Kippur and that is when you throw came to
• 1:33
  comet on Marshala Ben. I think was you throw on a
• 1:37
  comet. Let me just find it.
• 1:40
  Yes, in Parshala Dutra when he noticed Marshala Ben are judging
• 1:44
  the whole Jew of people from morning until night and he
• 1:47
  witnessed that Marshala Ben alone was the leader of
• 1:49
  everything and he was dealing with all laws of finances.
• 1:53
  Alone you throw made a comet and that was according to the both
• 1:57
  Medarshim on the same day. So our process by our Kelly
• 2:01
  gathers the people to inform them about the dedications and
• 2:05
  donations and the planning and the involvement of building the
• 2:08
  Mishkan comes on the same day as you throw as witnessing Monsieur
• 2:12
  Lebanon being the leader overseeing all the court cases
• 2:15
  and all the different dealings between a museum financially on
• 2:20
  the exact same day. So the clear guy says first of
• 2:22
  all, yeah, very big gap Parashati through until
• 2:26
  parashati by Akayla's completely separate sides of Sefishimo.
• 2:29
  Strange. OK, we'll deal with we know the
• 2:32
  camera tells us there's no order to our to our according to our
• 2:35
  opinion. Clearly that's the case over
• 2:37
  here. Fine.
• 2:38
  But beyond that, he says it's interesting why on the same day
• 2:41
  is Moshe have been telling the Jewish people about the building
• 2:44
  of Mishkan as the same day as he's dealing with the financial
• 2:48
  dealings according to this shop. So he said it's very clear and
• 2:51
  that is before Musharraf and I wanted to collect any money for
• 2:57
  the building of the Mashikan, any donations.
• 3:00
  He wanted to make sure it comes from pure sources.
• 3:04
  So he wanted to make sure the financial dealings were pure,
• 3:06
  were clarified and everyone had rightfully what was theirs
• 3:10
  according to the halacha, but they deserved properly.
• 3:14
  And then I want you with the nations.
• 3:15
  In other words, I don't want to get Hashem building should not
• 3:18
  be built on inappropriate money and inappropriate donations.
• 3:23
  The car for the wrong place and that.
• 3:24
  Went around looking at the people which which donations
• 3:28
  were good or. Nothing so much should have been
• 3:29
  on that day that all of a sudden that day spent the entire day
• 3:34
  dealing with the laws of finances to try to clear up and
• 3:38
  clean up who has whose money. Everyone gets the right for
• 3:41
  money back and then the nations would give it on that exact
• 3:45
  exact same day. Just play us into the theme or
• 3:48
  just the building in the restaurant wanted to be what you
• 3:50
  wanted to be built or the right money.
• 3:52
  Now if you understand you can imagine relate over to today.
• 3:55
  I got where all this is going today modern day.
• 3:58
  How you going to make sure everyone gives donations It
• 4:01
  comes from cost your money. I understand what is the theme
• 4:05
  of this concept? The theme of the concept at its
• 4:07
  core is on your building something, on your developing
• 4:11
  something. Maybe not a shul or a school or
• 4:14
  whatever else, maybe your own family.
• 4:16
  It's effective and it matters. Where is your original source
• 4:20
  coming from? Meaning, what's the original
• 4:22
  mindset? What is the groundwork, the
• 4:24
  foundation of that structure? If it's built on the right
• 4:27
  mentality, it has a greater chance of success, but if it's
• 4:31
  built on inappropriate mentality or maybe the wrong mindset, it
• 4:35
  may look good, but it's got a little bit weaker foundation and
• 4:39
  therefore a weaker chance of success.
• 4:41
  That is a theme I want to pull out from those that I just told
• 4:45
  you that I just told you, and that is what I should have been.
• 4:48
  Who is collecting money, collecting donations on the same
• 4:52
  day, they clarifying the finances because he recognizes
• 4:56
  that in order to get to build a great structure, I need to be
• 4:59
  built on a great foundation. That's the theme.
• 5:02
  OK, All right, That's the idea. And you see this constantly.
• 5:06
  It's more important to Hashem how it's built and the actual
• 5:11
  golden soda which is built on, on what shoulders, on what
• 5:14
  dedication, on what proper mindset.
• 5:17
  I want the mindset exactly. I want the purity.
• 5:20
  And then you can build and the similar theme when I'm playing
• 5:23
  to another constant operation that is, or she says, OK, anyone
• 5:28
  who has a Hakam live, anyone who's wise hearted will come and
• 5:33
  actually build the Mishkan after we accept the donations.
• 5:37
  So who are these people that's wise hearted who knows how to
• 5:40
  build a Mishkan? Who are these people?
• 5:43
  The Jewish people were people who got involved in mud and
• 5:48
  cement in Egypt. Their slaves.
• 5:50
  They have no background in carpentry. 0 no idea.
• 5:56
  They built sloppy cities, they built muddy cities.
• 5:59
  You're right, they built cities, but it wasn't like this where it
• 6:01
  was fine and to exact science wasn't like this, that it was a
• 6:06
  perfect sculpture was not at all like this.
• 6:09
  It was an ugly existence. And now they have to go ahead
• 6:11
  and build exact measurements to AT, they have to sew, they have
• 6:16
  to be involved in carpentry, have to be involved in very
• 6:18
  different worlds. And then I'm buying comments on
• 6:21
  this and he says where are they getting these talents from?
• 6:24
  So when the pasuk uses the word Haram live, I meant like this.
• 6:28
  Then Amban says these are people who stepped forward who wanted
• 6:34
  the mishkan to be built. They were interested in the
• 6:37
  building of the House of Hashem and they had zero experience and
• 6:40
  0 knowledge in these areas. But because they stepped
• 6:44
  forward, the way your Amban says that Iqbal Libor, the Darki
• 6:49
  Hashem, their heart got elevated and the ways of God and Hashem
• 6:54
  filled into their mind. You could say this about bits a
• 6:56
  little as well. And early out of all these
• 6:57
  people got filled into their mind the entire blueprint of how
• 7:01
  to make an iron and the mineral maybe, but definitely the Shuhan
• 7:05
  and the Mushkan and all the different sewings got filled
• 7:10
  into their mind the talents, which means you know, it was
• 7:12
  built on the pure mindset and the rest was done by Hashem guy.
• 7:18
  No, it's amazing. You have children and one of
• 7:20
  them is talented in a certain way.
• 7:22
  Where does he get that town from my sham?
• 7:24
  He got it from me or my? My wife or what?
• 7:27
  He gets it from my sham. Absolutely.
• 7:28
  All right. He's handy or he's this, you
• 7:30
  know, where's where's we get it from?
• 7:31
  Absolutely, and it's completely all from God.
• 7:34
  I'm going to see where they are. He's an artist.
• 7:37
  Where do they get that? You know, ready.
• 7:40
  God-given to him on. Yeah, and when they're applied
• 7:42
  to good things. Exactly.
• 7:43
  And when they're applied to good things like the building in the
• 7:46
  Mashan, it's even clearer that it's a sham.
• 7:49
  Then Abbas is these words, all the people whose heart lifted
• 7:56
  them up came forward, says that Amman al Hakamim how has seen
• 8:00
  we're talking about the Hakamim who built the Mishkan Kilo
• 8:05
  Mazzino al Amit Navin in these sense.
• 8:08
  This all connects to what we learn every morning, that if you
• 8:12
  just let hashed if you had the confidence to go do it and he
• 8:15
  let Hashem you allow Hashem to let you do it, it'll.
• 8:18
  Get done exactly but Tom hashed Nasoli Bo he says this
• 8:22
  terminology, which means they lifted up their heart.
• 8:25
  What does that term mean? That means they decided most
• 8:29
  important thing was they decided that they wanted the Michigan to
• 8:32
  be built. They say you know what I wanted
• 8:34
  to evolt. Let me step forward.
• 8:36
  Let me get involved with 0 plan as they step forward.
• 8:39
  They had no idea what they're going to do.
• 8:42
  The Corvall they came close to building.
• 8:49
  Nobody has been trained this from their teachers or me.
• 8:52
  Shia Ahmed. I mean my man Yadav kla.
• 8:55
  Nobody was experienced, no one was professional.
• 8:57
  Nothing. Ava matzah pateva Shia dala
• 9:03
  assault Ken he found in his nature.
• 9:06
  Turns out I know how to build this.
• 9:07
  Are you Bali Bo but darke Hashem, and he lifted up his
• 9:12
  heart for the ways of Hashem Lavalle lefne Moshe, to step in
• 9:17
  front of Moshe everyone and say I can do this lomalo, I need ESA
• 9:21
  Cordova. I'll do everything my master
• 9:25
  asks anymore. You're asking for us to build
• 9:28
  these different things. I can do it.
• 9:30
  How do you know? I find that I have a talent.
• 9:32
  Where do you get the talent from?
• 9:33
  I have no idea where I Got Talent from, but you know, you
• 9:35
  were up a topic I wanted to get done.
• 9:38
  Turns out I have a talent, let it be me to get involved and
• 9:41
  they came ahead and they built the Mishkan.
• 9:43
  It wasn't the. Ocean or Mishkan might they?
• 9:45
  No, it was dismantled or rebuilt all the time.
• 9:47
  They dismantled. It was just.
• 9:49
  They dismantled or rebuilt all the time and the theme.
• 9:51
  Was like every inventors like that.
• 9:53
  Well, every event that has that gift and these people, it was
• 9:58
  more immediate. In other words, and these
• 10:00
  people, they had zero connection to the building of anything.
• 10:05
  They had zero experience a minute ago.
• 10:08
  I have no idea how to make this. A minute later you bring up this
• 10:12
  topic. I feel excited about this topic.
• 10:14
  Hey, it turns out I have, I have, I have no experience, but
• 10:17
  I have this talent. Let me do it.
• 10:19
  I stepped forward and so much happened.
• 10:20
  I could do it. And they hand me the gift, hand
• 10:23
  me the opportunity, I do it. This is one thing you have.
• 10:26
  So again, you have, as we mentioned, the building of the
• 10:29
  Mishkan needs to be built on pure money, pure thoughts.
• 10:34
  And in this scenario, the structure must be developed.
• 10:37
  And people who just find the talent inside of them because
• 10:40
  they want to do and they step forward with that brand new
• 10:45
  talent all based on the fact that they want them as content
• 10:49
  built again. And there's some boring thing is
• 10:53
  and with the will and the dedication and the mindset.
• 10:56
  One other example as I'm with Sheriff and her calls forward we
• 11:00
  mentioned last week bits a Leo MIT savel Ben Uri Ben Hood then
• 11:07
  matte you down. We know the most important name
• 11:09
  in that family is the name of the grandfather's name Hood
• 11:12
  whose horse brings the his who need that sick and he will the
• 11:15
  rabbis bring who was the grandfather who I stood up to
• 11:19
  try to stop the hit the Hegel. He got killed and his grandson
• 11:24
  was chosen to build the Mishkan and why is that significant?
• 11:27
  It's significant because of the following Madras with the Madras
• 11:30
  that the most should have been was thought God's giving us this
• 11:32
  task to build a Mishkan. I'm the only one who knows how
• 11:35
  to do this. He must mean me and Moshebenu
• 11:39
  expected quantes montage totally to be the one to build the
• 11:45
  Mishkan. Hashem says it's not going to be
• 11:47
  you to build that Mishkan. Who is it going to be?
• 11:50
  But Salah, Why him? Because it was grandfather.
• 11:53
  His grandfather was more Sanifish.
• 11:56
  Exactly. His grandfather was more
• 11:58
  Sanifish who gave up his life to start to get the ego, gave up
• 12:02
  his life and his mission was to bring out the honor of Hashem.
• 12:07
  His grandson will continue that mission and bring out the honor
• 12:11
  of Hashem to building the Michigan.
• 12:12
  What's the message, the dedication, the interest, the
• 12:15
  focus, the care developed reflected in the fact that his
• 12:20
  grandson was chosen not because of his own wisdom, but rather
• 12:24
  than because of the fact that his grandfather had dedicated
• 12:28
  himself in his life for the service of Hashem?
• 12:30
  It came out in the grandson of Mushebaneh was turned down.
• 12:33
  Mushebaneh would have been the one, but he was turned down
• 12:36
  because that dedication in God's eyes was most significant and
• 12:40
  therefore overpowered and therefore pushed to everyone
• 12:43
  else to clear the way for Basalia.
• 12:46
  Last example, So Mushair was turned down to build a mushkan
• 12:50
  at the very end of the entire process.
• 12:54
  I believe at the end of Bashat Tukhudeh, the bashuk says the
• 12:57
  words, Bashuk says the words by Yakom
• 13:13
  mushed, built, lifted it up the mushkan and then it says the
• 13:18
  words Hukama Mushkan. It was stood up on its own.
• 13:23
  Yeah. At the end of Bashar Pickle
• 13:25
  there, the second Bashar we're going to read tomorrow by
• 13:27
  Yaakov, by Yaakim Moschet, A Mishkhan.
• 13:30
  Moschet Avenu stood up, erected the Mishawakim.
• 13:34
  He had all these materials together, but it wouldn't stand
• 13:37
  up. It wouldn't be lifted up.
• 13:38
  No one compelled the whole Jewish people that couldn't lift
• 13:40
  it up. And Moschet Avenu on his own
• 13:42
  lifted it up. And the pursuit right before
• 13:44
  this is the words who? Come on, Mishka.
• 13:46
  Which means it was lifted up on its own, says Rashi.
• 13:49
  There's a process here, Mos here.
• 13:51
  Moschet Avenu felt very bad. I thought I was going to be the
• 13:54
  one to build a Mishkan. OK, you chose But Salvio because
• 13:57
  it was a grandfather. Give me a give me a job, give me
• 14:00
  a mission. I played no role in the building
• 14:03
  and the molding and the structure and the painting and
• 14:06
  the nothing Mushair very bad. I said no problem.
• 14:11
  You'll be the one to stand it up.
• 14:12
  That's really the one to complete the job.
• 14:14
  You'll be the one to stand up. The Michigan.
• 14:16
  So therefore God made it. And no one among the Jewish
• 14:19
  people can stand it up. Only mushair.
• 14:22
  Mushair bends down to stand up, this very heavy structure,
• 14:26
  nothing doing. It's very heavy.
• 14:28
  So the basuk says God tells what she tells us.
• 14:31
  God said, don't worry, you just make it look like you're doing
• 14:33
  it. So Moshe went like this.
• 14:35
  Imagine like the kids, you know, the kids go.
• 14:37
  He's pushing it up. And as with the help, God's with
• 14:40
  the help, it's completely not him.
• 14:42
  It's all out of shame. What's the concept there?
• 14:45
  The concept there is once again for the final completion of the
• 14:48
  Mishkan. We need that dedication.
• 14:50
  And Moshe gets credited as if he did it even though it was done
• 14:54
  by God. We need that dedication.
• 14:56
  When it comes to the donations, they were a miracle of Hashem.
• 14:58
  Hashem gave us the money. When it came to the building,
• 15:01
  they were the miracle of Hashem. They didn't give us a talent.
• 15:04
  And when it came to the erecting in the completion of Mashan,
• 15:06
  they were the miracle of Hashem. Hashem gave Mosheeda been over
• 15:10
  the scene, the perspective and the credit as if He built it.
• 15:13
  All three were miraculous. All three were in a sense given
• 15:18
  and created by God, but all three are credited.
• 15:21
  Tommy Selma should have been it. Which means all Hashem wants
• 15:24
  from you is your heart. All God wants from you is you
• 15:29
  trying. He doesn't care for your plan,
• 15:32
  He doesn't care for your mission, He doesn't care for
• 15:35
  your blueprint. He just wants you to show that
• 15:38
  dedication and the rest He'll get involved.
• 15:41
  The same way these people had an interest in building the Mishkan
• 15:44
  with 0 history, 0 talent but perfect outcome.
• 15:47
  Hashem got involved same and more should have been had
• 15:50
  anxious of being involved with 0 background and 0 cohorts to lift
• 15:55
  out the Mishkan got got involved or share was able to be
• 15:58
  perceived as the erector of the Mishkan and the theme is now
• 16:02
  alive. As a Jew, the number one quality
• 16:06
  you need to have when it comes to building a family and
• 16:09
  building yourself and developing yourself.
• 16:12
  Number one quality to have is interest.
• 16:14
  I'm dedicated to it. I want it to be.
• 16:17
  I don't need a plan. The plan I leave up to God.
• 16:19
  I want my children to be good children.
• 16:20
  I really do. And that'll develop and you'll
• 16:23
  find ways that you didn't know you had, find ways to involve in
• 16:27
  their life to help them out and to protect them and to be there
• 16:31
  for them. I want myself to be a person
• 16:34
  that's really developed and really growing and you'll find
• 16:36
  different ways and different avenues didn't know existed.
• 16:39
  I want my marriage to be a marriage as a true marriage, and
• 16:42
  you'll find a ways to figure it out.
• 16:44
  I want to do business the right way.
• 16:46
  I want to be honest. I want to be a good person.
• 16:48
  I want to develop myself. I don't want to speak
• 16:50
  negatively. I want to have proper positive
• 16:52
  thoughts. I want to be a good Jew.
• 16:54
  I want to keep Shabbat. You name it, you want it, and
• 16:59
  the path clears the way. It never works the other way
• 17:01
  around. You can never say let me first
• 17:04
  find the path and then I'll stop into it.
• 17:06
  It doesn't work that way. Instead you see zero path, you
• 17:10
  see only an interest. And then as you're watching, the
• 17:13
  path gets clearer and open and open.
• 17:15
  The Jewish people had an interest in connecting the
• 17:17
  Hashem got to give them the money to be able to build.
• 17:21
  The Jewish people who wanted to build, God gave them the wisdom
• 17:25
  to build the structure. Moshi Laban wanted to erect the
• 17:28
  Mishkan and God gave him the seemingly the cohort, or at
• 17:32
  least the perception of cohort to stand it up.
• 17:34
  And that's how life is. You've seen it in your own lives
• 17:37
  and you'll continue to see it. The more you have an interest in
• 17:40
  a certain outcome, the more I sham provides for you.
• 17:43
  The pathway that did not exist there yesterday wasn't there.
• 17:47
  He wanted to happen. All of a sudden an idea comes
• 17:50
  up, a class opens up, a thought comes up, an idea to help your
• 17:54
  children comes up. Something is there.
• 17:56
  It's brand new and it wasn't there yesterday.
• 17:58
  It's only there because you showed that interest.
• 18:01
  It's true for the whole Jewish people and it's true Jew by Jew.
• 18:05
  That's the idea. OK, we'll stop at this.
