Daily Chidush 1 - Make HaShem your Partner

Hi how are you I hope you're having a great week so far we're getting ready for the sh tonight wanted to give you a quick uh for uh for today that will give you some perspective on things and also help you with business now and forever but most importantly get you even more connected withm says translation these are the reckonings of the Tabernacle the mishan the Tabernacle of testimony which were reckoned at Moses's bidding the labor of the Levites was under the authority ofar son of Aon theen bet son of son of her the tribe of Judah did everything that hasem commanded Moses with him was ohol son of aak of the tribe of Dan a Carver a weaver embroider with turquoise purple and Scarlet Wool with linen so the question is is that Hashem has just spent and invested three verses to tell us something we technically already knew from the last several parot of who is the one that's a uh built this mishan it's Moshe and then we have the leim and then we have uh obviously um betel and we have you know all of these people what's the uh and most importantly this was the commanded commandment by m by Hashem what's uh you know why is HEM reminding us of something we already know again we always talk about theem doesn't have one extra letter let alone three verses in the Torah here we hear we learn a very big secret as I think we've mentioned in the past that the mishan of the desert that we've had for nearly 40 years a little less than 40 years because this p and the mishan was built two years after we left Egypt so 38 years here we learn something a big secret is that this mishkan was Holier and much more significant than both the first and the BET mikdash and was never destroyed was never messed with was never stolen from nothing ever had bad happened to it it was completely protected by the sanctity and the holiness of of of what they've done over here even bigger than the first and second bet mikdash the secret is is that first it starts here kazal says here why was this mishan so holy in comparison to let's say the one that was built by smarter than any wiser than any man that ever lived theem gave him a special special wisdom at the age of uh 13 when he became king he uh instead of praying for money and for for this and for that he prayed to Hashem please Hashem give me the wisdom to judge your nation favorably Hashem says since you're so careful and so concerned about my nation not only will I give you this wisdom that's going to be a special wisdom that will be known forever but I'll also give you money and I'll give you power which is something that everybody else wants that's usually what they ask for so why was why was his bet mikdash not holier than the mishan mishan was much smaller much simpler didn't even have a uh you know small percentage of the amount of gold that his bet mikdash had kazal says that if someone didn't see the first bet mikdash they never saw true beauty what about the second one the second betam mikdash second temple was built as a uh you know as a thanks to the benevolence of uh King Cyrus King cus is KES in Hebrew second bet mikdash but it was destroyed why here we learned something very interesting kazal says that the Tabernacle the mishkan had the Ten Commandments both sets the broken ones and the ones that were whole the second pair it had Theus that was much higher than anything has ever never had before because of this on top of that it was built by Moses Moses that uh sacrific his entire life for is would never even a break despite all the accusations they had against them despite all the complaints they had against them despite even Hashem offering him technically a better deal saying listen let me Destroy This Nation after they did the let me destroy them and start a better Nation from you he says no remove me you know kill me first and remove me from your Torah if that's what you're going to do M sacrifice his life put his life on the line and then on top of that the third thing is that they had who who built this the Levites the levy tribe who are these Levy tribe these are the same levies that hasem used in when we had the uh theel we uh unfortunately the the sinned part of them sinned which is that built the the actual egel itself and the rest of the nation that didn't rebuke them didn't say anything this is a reminder to us that until this day we are suffering because of the because of the sin of the uh of the idol the golden calf not because all of is worshiped this uh nonsense not because of all is did idol worship but because we didn't say anything about it we just sat there quietly like unfortunately a lot of people are sitting there today seeing people seeing people eat pork seeing people violate all the holidays seeing people doing all stealing in their business and not saying anything no no no you know let let him you know I'm a sadik i' keep me let me let him take care of himself let AEM deal with him no this is a Biblical Commandment that we are supposed to and actually are obligated to tell our friends if they're making a sin but it also says meaning don't bring upon Him sin meaning that don't put in don't put him in a situation where he has to sin by getting angry and uh taking it the wrong way and don't put him in a situation where it's a uh you're insulting him you know in public embarrassing him in public you have to do it in a certain way but nonetheless you have to do something you have to do something you can't just let people sin for the rest of their lives and Shalom lose their and so we have the Levites that fought for hem never never were involved in and actually after mosu came down with and and broke the 10 commandments they took it upon their hands to kill all of the violators these are the the Le R says that the Levites today are the people are learning T the little simple people that everyone doesn't you know thinks is uh milking the nation that's not working these people that are learning 9 10 12 hours a day all day and make $500 a month those people that nobody cares about they're the ones saving the world by the way they're the ones that are giving AEM a reason to continue this world that's the levy tribe raham says that's the levy tribe last part is the and the honesty and integrity of bet the honesty and integrity of he had not only himself but anyone that was with him had to be a distinguished person that had Ultra rightness righteousness Ultra tadik not Ultra Orthodox Ultra tadik the first bet mikash unfortunately did not have all of this used Arabs to build many Arabs to build the BET mikdash and kazal says that if he instead of using Jewish people but to build a bet mikdash even though he was wise he still made mistakes using Arabs to build it using the uh people that are not necessarily going for the Torah using people that are doing a using people that are going against hem in many ways to build a bet mikdash he's also going to give them the power to destroy the bet mikdash so even though he had some of it where he had AEM obviously is the Holiness of Hashem he's only doing this for hem he's not doing this for himself so just you know and he also had the uh Ten Commandments in there and he also was a distinguished leader and he also had good uh you know good quality people but unfortunately not everyone so that gave him the power to destroy it the second betam mikdash was even in a worse situation Not only was it uh something that the uh King Cyrus which is obviously not a Jew commanded to put this whole situation together but they didn't have the Ten Commandments didn't have the AR KES and didn't exactly have a distinguished leader or even distinguished righteous people working on it this teaches us something about business today because obviously we're not building BET mdash right now mashia hasn't come will come soon when we bring enough people back to hem but this will teach us something about business if you want to succeed in business in the old days I used to be a successful businessman as you know and I learned a few things but I wish I would have learned this verse back then why because things would have been different at least while we was still in it but of course we're in the ESS of the Torah now but we still can use the old information and the new information and make it into something special something that could help anyone that's still in the business World there are four keys to success as we learned from the Holiness of the mishkan it had to have AEM in it so how can we have AEM in our business every time you walk into that door do you have a mza in your business or you're embarrassed from your friends you have a mza is a kosher mza or is the one that you bought for $60 because you didn't want to spend 100 or 150 for a kosher one are you given M are you given 10% of your net prophets to or rabbis that are doing K or people that are in you know dedicating their life to Tora or you use that money for the extra vacation for the year hasem said if you give the 10% I guarantee that you will become rich he doesn't say time but he guarantees that you'll be rich in your lifetime anyone that wants to get rich this is the this is the tithe this is the m anyone that knows what's good for them obviously we listen to Hashem and Hashem is telling you you're not allowed to test me in anything except this so if we make Hashem a partner technically he's giving us 100% he's telling us to give 10% to his children that are dedicating their life to Torah he's giving us 100% imagine having a partner and he says listen I'm going to do all the work I'm going to do 100% of the work but I just want 10% of the profits you tell them oh listen just keep doing what you do I'll give you 50 Hashem says no no I just want 10 I just want 10 but yet we have problems why the gets involved always constantly tries to tell us to do otherwise to no no no we need to save for retirement no no no there's a big deal coming up no no no maybe we're not going to make this money next week maybe we're not going to make this money next month m is very very important this is making Hashem a partner in our life that's first one second one Moses we don't have Moses in our generation but how is Moses going to help us in our business hasem told Aon and Miriam his brother and sister when they said some uh unintentional butu why is he leaving his wife Hashem said you dare talk about my mosu you talk talk about Moshe yeah but he's a prophet and we're prophets Hashem says no no no he's not like you he's not like you he's prophet of all prophets you can't compare him to you this is telling us that any successful business any successful Empire any successful anything must have solid leadership must lead by example you can't show up to work at 10:30 and expect everyone else to show up at eight and be happy about it you can't be a thief and expect everyone to be honest you can't an angry person expect everybody to have smiles when the customers come in you cannot do it you have to lead by example third the Levites we don't have Levites in our in our day jobs usually so how the Levites Levites are solid employees solid employees people that you can rely on people that are have integrity people that are people that are working hard you're only as good as your employees if your employees are no good your business is going to fall apart you have bad employees replaced them immediately I used to be in this club called CEO club and they used to have this funny saying but it's a very true one he said is if you think if you're thinking about firing him it's already too late you should have fired him already yesterday so you have to have reliable people and last but not least betel what's betel betel represented not only wisdom but righteousness is your business righteous is your business honest is your business stealing from people or is your business just doing the right thing selling a product selling a service are you an honest person is your business the foundation of your business honest or you robbing banks or you stealing from customers you have to ask yourself this because you cannot have a business that's founded on dishonesty and still think that step number one which is having AEM in your life is even relevant you can't give M from stoling money your is it's disgusting to hasem it's not so righteousness is the last part AEM strong leadership solid employees and an overall righteous business and environment and we have this in our businesses and we continue building it and do the right thing and most and most importantly be righteous with hem thank you for learning with me today and we'll talk tomorrow
