Unveiling the Sacred Geometry and Virtues of the Mishkan: A Journey into Divine Architecture and Spiritual Transformation

Things are about to get real, as the entire point of Safer Shamos is about to come to fruition and that God is going to dwell in our midst. We're going to build the Mishkan. Hashem is going to dwell with us and you should be very careful to recall your knowledge of metals, metallurgy, to figure out all the different symbolisms that you will find in gold, silver and Khoshas, copper, numerology. Figure out why six curtains, why two Khuruvim. You have to be able to pick up with a certain sensitive ear to all the different symbolic lessons in the geometry and the spiritual, metaphysical Mishkan. Every once in a while we can pick up on the most glaring symbolism and the lessons being portrayed to us by this incredible edifice. We have a commandment to build inside of this tabernacle in Aron and Ark Aron atse, shitim, amasain vachetzi, arkovamavachetzi, rachmavamavachetzi, kai maso. Those are its exact blueprint, blueprint and dimensions. Vetsipisa ossozavtar. The Aron was three boxes. Rasih explains it should be an inner gold box perhaps you're familiar with this and then a wooden box that's placed inside of that gold box and then an outer third box of gold, so that it was really three boxes together gold, wood, gold. And says the Gemara. We see from here that the ark, which symbolizes Torah for the Luchos, are inside that. Any Talmudkacham, any Torah scholar that doesn't have his insides like his outsides, he isn't gold, both inside and outside. In his actions and in his inner world, his Enotochokabarro well then Enotalmudkacham, he really isn't a Talmudkacham. The person needs to be non duplicitous, authentic both inside and out. And the Balaimusar also point out that if we're going to take this mushel and this reference all the way through, then we must also pick up on the fact that the Aron is not just pure gold. There was also a wooden box in there for Judaism. It's not for the angels, but it is for Jews, flesh and blood, people that are Akacia wood, akassia wood. However you pronounce that they are Atseshitim, shetim wood, a wood box that has gold inside and gold on the outside. It's our job to take Akassia wood, atseshitim and turn it into an Aron kitesh. That's the whole Mishkan. Or if you would walk in Shibshabinkus tells us into the Mishkan on an ordinary day, if you weren't wearing your metaphysical, spiritual lumbisha glasses, you may mistake it for just the back end of a restaurant kitchen, with Kohanim schlepping guts around and blood up to the knees, smoke. It may just look like nothing more, nothing more than just any kitchen, and you'll miss out on the miracles and the kedusha that is so prevalent and pervades that entire tabernacle. A Jews job is to be gold on the inside and gold on the outside to be tocho kabarro. But we don't believe in asceticism. It's for the Christians. Jews believe in being flesh and blood, being a human being, people that eat, they drink, they go to the bathroom, but they can become gold on the inside, gold on the outside and absolutely angelic. That is one of the most prime lessons taught to us by the Mishkan.
