Shabbat Shalom
I would have had no idea how to build the Mishkan. Tabernacle, if you find that easier to understand. The Tabernacle; What we model our synagogue after.
The planks were made with sockets and tenons. I don't even know what a tenon is. Whatever they are, they all connect. The planks connect. Unlike this congregation, that connects with absolutely nothing. The harmony is off on the Kedusha. We have been singing 'Na'aritzcha' for the past 30 years.
The different parts connect through bars and rings, to bring the Tabernacle together. There a sockets for different pieces to be placed. I understand that it is kind of hard to fit the Perkowitz mishpache into the congregation...Like a crooked plank, it is not made right...
At least the Mishkan didn't have pealing paint. There wasn't a leak in the ceiling of the Mishkan.
We know how to make the planks and the Tabernacle, as H' showed us how on the mountain (26:30)...What other mountain is there? Har Sinai.
No. It is not a suggestion. Paying dues is also not a suggestion, Marcie...How do we build it? According to 'its law' (26:30). That is how I translate it. According to the law.
Yes, there are individual parts. Even so, when they come together, it is according to the law...I see that Hymie bends back a lot on his bows. But Frank has a strong lean forward. Frank is constantly hitting Hymie on the bend back. We have to have an organized way of bowing in this congregation.
You can't just make a kiddush with no herring. It is for the community. Your plank might not like herring. However, the planks that are the community need that herring, to come together...Again 'law.' 'Ordinance.' You don't show up to shule in shorts. No plank in the Tabernacle had shorts...
It was placed together through rules...Marvin still thinks prayers start at 9:45am. 9:30am.
