Sicha Insight, Rabbi Avraham Lipszyc

When one's thoughts of Worldly Matters are that of Communal Matters, he will not lack in his Torah Matters.

By continuously honoring the the Holy Temple, we are continuously building the Holy Temple!

Why did G-d show Moses the "knot of His tefillin," in teaching Moses the, "Order of Prayer," to, "Beseech G-d's Compassion," in atonement for sin?

All we have to do in order not to sin, and to correct pass sins, is to "remember" that G-d is consistently creating us "creatio ex nihilo"!

Every tie a knot in order to remember something?

Well the knot of Tefillin and the knots of a Tallit are in order to remember G-d. And that was what G-d asked of Moses to teach Israel.

When we refine our emotions, we don't need to fight with our Thoughts, Speech and Actions. For they will automatically align with our emotions

However, while we still struggle without feelings, then we must (and can!) nevertheless wage a successful war in keeping our Thoughts, Speech and Actions pure.

While most of the garments of the High Priest was in order for him to be able to do his job, however, wearing before G-d the garments that carried the names of the Children of Israel was the job!

So too, with the Blue-Tunic, with its bells announcing his arrival before G-d, wearing the garment was the job.

Moses' gives away his "name," to save Israel, for Israel is his "Essence"

A. The Menorah's design was aligned with its mission. Its mission was to give the "inside" light of the Temple, to the outside world of darkness. Hence, the 22 Chalices of the Menorah's design were purposely made upside-down, positioned to be pouring unto others, rather than upright, appearing to be receiving for itself.

B. It is clear from Maimonides' drawing, and from Rashi's wording, that the Menorah's branches were straightly slanted upward, and not in a circular form. Hence, why are some drawings/makings have the Menorah's branches circular?! Even more troublesome is that the Temple's Menorah which was a declaration of honor that G-d's presence rested among Israel, is being depicted from the Arch of Titus, which was a construction dedicated to the defeat and shame of Israel?! So, let's "straighten-out" our images of the Temple's Menorah, and even of our Chanukah Menorah, which is all about our mission of being, "A light unto the nations!"

Why was King Solomon aware that the Temple he built was going to be destroyed?

Why did G-d tell King Solomon to also build an under-ground Holy of Holies?

Can the Temple be "Resurrected" of will there have to be a "New" Temple built?

Join for a fascinating journey of the Rebbe to the Hidden (not Lost!) Ark....

An amazing exploration of the covenant made between G-d and Israel concerning the Giving of the Torah.

What did Israel have to study and to observe before the Torah was Given?

Was this a mini-Torah or a Book of the Covenant?

What virtue is there to the Covenant between Israel and G-d taking place before G-d descended to us, and gave us Himself and His Torah?

This are the question the sicha clarifies for us.
