You’re so excited and motivated to get it done well! And then, all of a sudden, your Yetzer Hora comes to have a little chat with you. You start feeling lazy, not in the mood, and too tired to care. In n troductio Suddenly you remember all the other things you have to take care of that day. You remember that you have something else that’s more exciting to do. Without realizing, your enthusiasm about doing that mitzvah, mission, favor etc. totally fades. What do you do? Do you push off doing the right thing for a time when you’re excited about doing it? Should you get down and saddened by how convincing the Yetzer Hora can be? Do you feel upset that it’s so challenging? Well, guess what, when the Yetzer Hora comes to distract you, what he’s really doing is sending you a secret message. And when you figure out what that hidden message is, it can help you overpower him. This week’s parsha will tell us this secret, and it’ll help us respond to the Yetzer Hora. פרשת צו פרק ח' פסוק ב' ַ“ק ֶח ַאת־א ֲהרְֹן וֶאָת־ּבָנִיואְּתֹו וֵאת ַה ְּבָגִדְים וֵאֶתׁשֶמן ַה ִּמְׁשָחה ְוֵאת ַּפר ַה ַח ָּטְאת וֵאְתׁשֵנָי הֵאִילְים וֵאת ַסל ַה ַּמצֹות” “Take Aharon and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing Torah oil, and the sin offering bull, and the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread.” רש''י: פרשה זו נאמרה שבעת ימים קודם הקמת המשכן Rashi here writes: This section was said seven days before the Mishkan was set up. In this week’s parsha we learn about the “shivas yimei hamiluim”, the seven days of preparation. Hashem tells Moshe many things to Chumash do as part of preparing the Mishkon for use. 2 The Rebbe explains to us that, in this week’s parsha, the Yidden just finished building the parts of the Mishkon. They brought all the boards, curtains and keilim to Moshe Rabeinu. Now the Days of Rebbe Preparation began. Moshe Rabbeinu himself set up the Mishkon and then brought korbanos on the mizbeach. He also taught Aharon and his children how to do the service of Hashem in the Mishkon. All these final touches made the Mishkon ready so that it could finally be used by the Yidden to serve Hashem. We can learn an important lesson from the process of finishing to build the Mishkon. Every Jew must realize that we are now at the dawn of golus, we are ready to set up the third Bais Hamikdosh, Lesson which is also referred to as Mishkon. The only thing that remains to be done is to finish up the small final touches. Every child in Tzivos Hashem, together with all the Jewish people, must finish the fight against the Yetzer. We must overpower every last little fight that the Yetzer Hora stages. We must ignore all the little voices in the back of our heads telling us not to do the right thing. When every child will complete their mission of learning Torah and doing mitzvos joyously, then there will be an end to the “big” matter of golus. No leftovers will remain. We will have the geula ha’amitis v’hashleima, and there will never again be a golus. All of us, together with the children who we influenced to join Tzivos Hashem and to fight their Yetzer, will go to our Holy Land, to Yerushalayim, our holy city, where everything will be ready for the building of the third Bais Hamikdosh, speedily in our days. So, chayolim, realize that we are now in the last moments of golus and we are doing those last few bits to finish setting up the third B’chein Bais Hamikdosh and bringing the geula. What we are doing is so needed and important and makes a huge difference. We are the ones who will complete the final few steps. There’s only so little left to do—we’re almost there! What YOU do will make it happen!! And what about the Yetzer Hora? He’s only coming to distract you because he knows that what you are doing is so important! When the Yetzer Hora sees how hard you work, he gets scared. He isn’t sure if he can win against strong kavonas during davening and kids who help their parents. The Yetzer Hora is trying to stop you because you are doing something really good—building the Bais Hamikdosh! The stronger 3 you are, the harder the Yetzer Hora fights! Instead of giving up when he comes, realize his hidden message is “you are doing something so powerful that will finish building the Bais Hamikdosh!” So don’t get scared when it gets difficult, just ignore and continue doing what you are doing. When you ignore the Yetzer Hora’s advice to give up, you complete the last steps of building the Bais Hamikdosh. Just finish off that Yetzer Hora, let there be no trace of him, and we’ll have the complete and true geula Hamitas V”Hashleima! 4 English Sicha The Jewish people finished building the parts of the Mishkon. They brought all the boards, curtains and keilim to Moshe Rabeinu. Now the “Days of Preparation” began. Moshe Rabeinu himself erected the Mishkon and then brought karbanos on the mizbeach. He also taught Aharon and his children how to do the service of Hashem in the Mishkon. All these final touches readied the Mishkon so that it could finally be used by the Yidden to serve Hashem. We can learn an important lesson from the process of finishing to build the Mishkon. Every Jew must realize that we are now at the dawn of golus; we are ready to erect the third Bais Hamikdosh, which is also referred to as Mishkon. The only thing that remains to be done is to finish up the small final touches. Every child in Tzivos Hashem, together with all the Jewish people, must finish the fight against the Yetzer. They must triumph in every last little fight that the Yetzer Hora stages. They must ignore all the little voices in the back of their heads telling them to do the wrong thing. When every child will complete the small matters in his mission of learning Torah and doing mitzvos joyously, then there will be an end to the “big” matter of golus. No “leftovers” will remain. We will have the geula ha’amitis v’hashleima, and there will never again be golus. All of us, together with the children who we influenced to join Tzivos Hashem and to fight their own Yetzer, will go to our Holy Land, and our holy city of Yerushalayim, where everything will be ready for the building of the third Bais Hamikdosh, speedily in our days. 5 6 dku,/ ehhbg WahrhhoW ucnhkt vTy ngi R dtukv tnh,h, athi tjrhw xu; mu sgr dRbmgr zRl pui dku, tui gx ckhhcy pui thr bhy pui kgrbgi ,urv tui nehho zhhi nmuu, nhy anjv' uugry R tui surl sgo uuTx hgsgr thhbgr pRrgbshey zhhi gcusv sgo hmr vrg/ Rkg WekhhbhbegW zRfi pui sh akgfyg gmu, pui vnesa vakhah zTki pRrgbshei sh nkjn, vhmr tui ncyk zhhi tuhpaygki sgo ch, pui Wmctu, vaoW' muzRngi nhy Rkg thsi' nwzTk egbgi _ Rz hgsgr ehbs pRrgbshei sh WekhhbhehhyiW Rk. thz drhhy Rz *3 sh thhbmheg zRl uuTx thz dgckhci thz mu "bRfy" pui dku, tui WnafiW(/ sgo xu; pui sgr therh nafi W' sgr nesa uugry Tbdgrupi nhr dgphbgi zhl thi nesa zTdi tz W Tbdgrupi WnafiW' uuh sh jzWk 3 egbgi tuhpaygki sgo ch, vnesa vakhah )uuTx uugry sgr WbRfyW pui dku, tui Rk. thz pRryhe tui drhhy tz nwzTk hgsgr ths sRr; uuhxi' Rz nhr dgphbgi zhl thi sgo xu; pui tuh; Rkg ygd pui hTr: _ sgrpui vTy ngi R khfyheg vurtv _ pui W,urv turW 2 ngi sRr; yTi sh gcusv thi nafi/ ercbu, tui njbl dguugi tvri tui zhhbg ehbsgr' sh fvbho' uuh tuhpdgaygky sgo nafi tui vTy thi tho nerhc dguugi )sh eraho tui hrhgu,( nhy Rkg zhhbg fkho vTy nav rchbu nhhby: bTl sgo uuh nwthz pRryhe dguuTri mu nRfi sgo nafi t ' sh ygd pui mudrhhyi zhl/ sTx pui sh Whnh vnhkuthoW 1 hi vhhbyhegr prav uugry sgrmhhky uugdi sgo Tbvuhc hnh vnhkutho sgr rch rgsy mu ehbsgr um Sicha Yiddish 7 1( rtv pra"h mu j' c/ 2( nakh u' fd/ 3( ghruchi c' t/ *3( rtv ahj, anj, ,urv ,rp"j/ )huWs tsr abh ,asWn( nna/ vnafi uvnesa' sgo ch, vnesa vakhah' cnvrv chnhbu muo Wvr vch,W' uuTx sTryi thz Rk. drhhy pRr sgo cbhi trmbu vesuav' tui sTry dupt _ mu hruakho ghr veusa tui vaoW tui pRrgbshei zhhgr jke thi nkjn, vhmr _ dhhgi mu uugkfg nwvTy naphg dguugi mu Rrhhbakhxi zhl thi Wmctu, tui Rkg muzRngi _ Rrhhbdgrgfby sh Rkg ehbsgr tuh; sgr rch rgsy mu ehbsgr um Parshafier the קַהִתְ ׁשְ ר ּו ת I shared a sicha of the Rebbe Yitzy: YAY!
