Video: Torah Revealed with Rabbi Shmuel Braun
In this weekly Chassidus class, Rabbi Shmuel Braun of Jerusalem, Israel explores fundamental questions on the current Torah portion and upcoming Jewish holidays. This week, the class looks at the mystery and meaning of the cherubs which were on the ark in the Tabernacle.
The Rebbe says:
1. Regarding the building of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle) in this week’s Torah portion the Torah says, “You should make the beams for the Tabernacle of acacia wood (Atzay Shittim), standing upright”.
2. The Previous Rebbe explained that the Hebrew word for, “acacia”, which is, “Shittim”, also means, “turning away”. In other words, there is a middle path which is the path of logic and reason, and the turning away from the middle path is called, “Shittim”, from the word, “Shtoos - Senselessness”.
However, there are two types of ways to be senseless. One way is to turn away from the middle path of logic and be senseless in the opposite way of holiness, as the Talmud states, “A person only commits a transgression because a spirit of senselessness entered him”, and another way is to turn away from the middle path of logic and be senseless in a holy way, as the Talmud states, “The senselessness of this Sage has helped him”.
