The Sanctuary and the Sabbath

On Shabbat work is forbidden. But what defines work? The Torah defines work as any of the activities that were required for the construction or function of the Mishkan, the Divine Sanctuary. This class will explain the deeper connection between Shabbat and the Mishkan, and thereby outline the Divine template for a meaningful life. (Maamar, Vayakhel Moshe 5714)

This was absolutely fantastic so many areas covered in so beautifully, tied up in a “happy to be alive” and simply there’s no words to describe. It’s a feeling it’s a feeling it’s a vibe ending
Thank you so much. God bless you Irene. Reply

I wasn't looking for this. I chose to stay and to listen. It was well worth it. Thank you for your words/teachings. Reply

the Holy Zohar says.. He opened and said "Take from among you an offering to Hashem: whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it.." (Shemot 35:5). Come and see, when a man wills himself to worship his Master, the will first reaches the heart, which is the basis and foundation of the entire body. Then that goodwill is diffused in all the members of the body; and the will of the members of the body and the will of the heart combine, and draw to themselves the splendour of the Shechina to rest on them. Such a man becomes the portion of the Holy One, blessed be He. Reply
