What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Yaakov Klein’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

[Music] says that all of our avoida everything that we do that we do during the week is considered like maleficent the building of the mishkan building of the holy traveling base building of the holy traveling base amiktas traveling tabernacles the jewish people have in the wilderness and shabbos is so the hakomasa mishkan erecting the mishkan so there's building it and there's erecting and the question is what are we supposed to make of this uh somewhat cryptic reference did you ever wonder why it is at the 39 millahis of shops 39 things that you can't do on shabbos are the 39 things that the mishkan needed in order to be built the 39 things the jews did to build the mission what is the relationship between shabbos and the building of the mishkan so we know that it's because it says know that it's because it says in two different places and and and it links them conceptually in the torah but the question is what is really the the deeper meaning behind this so there's one clear theme that is a very masterful presentation is done by the roma and the safer torah so very thorough it's very sodistic but it's echoed all his form the following idea hashem built the world and we built the world he created now human beings are different than hashem fundamentally because hashem has no body and no because hashem has no body and no physical properties but our selves are miniature worlds komashish it says in the upstairs it's full paragon how every single thing that exists in the universe exists within human beings because i'll say this in a number human beings have the universe inside of them because every human is a miniature world when hashem built our world there's certain things that he did well additionally building the mishkan
