As Moshe was About to Say Goodbye, He Left His People with Nine Life-Changing Insights

Women's Devarim/9 Days Class

Judaism’s 9 Step Program for Life

Ask a learned Jew why is this Shabbos called &ldquo;Shabbos Chazon&rdquo;? He will tell you it is because of the opening of the Haftorah with the words &ldquo;Chazon Yeshayahu,&rdquo; the vision of Isaiah, predicting the destruction of Jerusalem. Now ask the same question to a Chassidic Jew. He will give you a very different answer: it is because on this Shabbos we have a vision of the third Temple. Hardly can you find two interpretations more contradictory. Which one is it? A vision of destruction or a vision of rebuilding? Have the Chassidim changed Judaism yet again?

The Talmud tells the story of the Arab who understood the language of animals. One day, when he heard the mooing of a cow, he said: The Jerusalem Temple just went up in flames. When the same cow mooed once more, the Arab said: Moshiach was just born. What does this mean? Was the Messiah born right after the destruction of the Holy Temple?

Engagement. Marriage. Honeymoon. The first years. All is bliss. Suddenly your marriage experiences cracks. Frustration and disengagement replace the romantic bliss. How do you deal with it?

You have a good job and it pays well; your career has a promising future. Suddenly, you realize your boss has taken a liking to someone else. You have no future in the company. How do you deal with it?

You thought you were a happy person. Two years in therapy did the trick. You are calm, collective, focused. Suddenly, your psyche hits a dam. You feel unhappy yet once again. You are back at square one. How do you deal with it?

There are two ways: One is, you see it as the end of a bright era. Another way is you see it as the painful beginning of a new and yet brighter era. Both perspectives are legitimate. Demolition destroys the old structure, but it also opens the space for a new one. The cracks herald the destruction of the old, but also create the space for a new light to shine through. It is this truth which captures the essence of what it means to be a Jew and the secret &ldquo;plot&rdquo; behind Jewish history.

How to Build Bridges Between All Types of Jews

This class was presented on Sunday morning, 25 Tamuz 5776, July 31, 2016, at Ohr Chaimshul, Monsey, NY. It explains the reason the Rambam gives us an unusual history lesson about the Holy Ark in his halachik work. ​"W​hen ​K​ing Solomon built the Holy Temple, knowing that it was destined to be destroyed, he built a place in which to hide the Ark, [at the end of] hidden, deep, winding passageways.&rdquo; It was there that King Josiah placed the Ark twenty-two years before the Temple&rsquo;s destruction.
The Beis Hamikdash in Jerusalem was built by King Solomon in the year 2928 from creation (833 BCE), and was destroyed 410 years later, on the ninth day of the month of Av, by the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar. Seventy years later it was rebuilt; the second Temple stood for 420 years, until its destruction by the Romans, also on the ninth of Av, in 3829 (69 CE).&nbsp;
From the Rambam's words about the Ark we discover that the core of the Temple was never destroyed. What is more, it means that the first, second and third Temples are not three different structures, but the continuum of a single edifice. in this class we also discover why we allow ourselves to make such destructive mistakes. It turns out we are the ones who do this to ourselves for a very healing reason.
