The Yanuka Rav Shlomo Yehuda-הגאון הינוקא בדברי תורה עם ראשי מכון כלי הקודש מרתק

2:56 Yes - unless you make them. If the Rav wishes, I'm ready to arrange it all for you, if you'd like to come. I will, bli neder. I'm very, very interested to see... There's another place I was at once, in Jerusalem, there. The Temple Institute, or... — Yes, the Temple Institute. Yes. There they bring, say, something - they put it here on the... on the whole... like, they make a few forms, it's really like a kind of small museum. — A museum, to look at things. — Is that what it looks like where your things are? — No, where we're going is the craftsman's home. He can set it out - he has a big porch, we can set everything out.

3:33 I usually give him instructions: do it like this, do it like that, according to the halachah - large, small, the placement... — Did you see the model of the Beis HaMikdash at the Kosel? At Aish HaTorah... I saw it like this, from above. ...you'd have to see it. Did you see it? — I saw it from above, because we went around it... What we made is this picture - a picture as tangible as it can possibly be.

4:03 It's a picture I brought in an artist for; we made it here - here is the Altar with all the woodpiles, arranged. Yes, this is like... as they say, that they wanted to overlay it - wanted to overlay it with gold, and the Sages told them that it's beautiful - it's like the waves of the sea. When the sun struck it, it looked like the sky and the sea together.

4:31 Yes, yes. So says the Gemara. — This was the kalei orev, the 'raven-chaser', because there were ravens - so they couldn't perch. Yes, yes, and that's how it worked. — This isn't... this isn't artificial intelligence? It's not artificial intelligence. It's with an artist - I brought him all the notes. Here we made a certain change - in principle it should have been a bit... — So an artist actually painted this, with paint? On the computer, on the computer - together with him; we told him what to do. This is the Nikanor Gate, with its door that was very ornate, and all this - here, the place of the ashes...

5:07 The Nikanor Gate remained - even though all the doors were replaced, and Nikanor's door, despite the simplicity of that gate - it was copper, very, very plain - it's something the mind can't grasp. After all, the more splendid the place - the House of Hashem ought to be adorned all the more. So why did they make so much of it? I once said: it's because of his self-sacrifice. For one who gives his soul for Hashem, blessed be He - he jumps into the water, he gives his soul - then the Holy One, blessed be He, says: 'But what you do with self-sacrifice - no one will ever take its place. It will never have a replacement. It remains, and remains forever. What you give your soul for will never have a replacement.'

5:44 Other things, you know, can be replaced. That's why the tzaddikim of the generations, the holy ones, whom we always remember - it's those who gave their souls who are remembered. Those who gave everything, who gave their souls for the Jewish people - we always remember them. You ask: what did they merit so greatly, that they're always mentioned? The world doesn't know that the Holy One, blessed be He, chose them because they helped the Jewish people, and gave their souls to save the Jewish people. That's why they are remembered. That's why they're always remembered for it.

6:10 That's the essence - that he gave his soul. That's why we remember the... people speak about his gates all the time. It's forever. It's the soul. — Yes. And here there's a rendering - this is of the Third Temple. And then the Holy One, blessed be He, returned it by way of a miracle. It's wondrous - he jumped into the water, and it's a wondrous thing, all of it. He was ready. — Yes, it's an astounding thing. When a person gives his soul, then the Holy One, blessed be He - it comes back to him. What else is here? — Yes, so here there's the order of the service in brief, what each one would do.

6:41 A picture for everything, for every single thing. — What about the Ketores, the incense? The Ketores - no, I didn't do that. 'Toras HaKorbanos' put out a book, on the Ketores too. — Do you work with them? — Yes, yes, I work with them. Some pictures I bring to them, and they bring pictures - we work together. After that, the structure of the Temple - only as needed to understand the service. And... what about the Third Temple? The chapter... — Yes, on that, Rav Yitzchak Kohen published something, if you know him, he published a special work on it. But here we focused on the verses as they go, so in practice each time it's the verses, a halachic summary, a picture - a halachic summary of how it looked, and also the verses, in order - you can read the parshah.

7:27 and then... to understand each thing. — This is the second one? And the Third Temple - there's a small section here: who will build the Third Temple, it will be built, it will be built. Amen. Ah, your honor, you have merited, you have merited. May the Rav bless me, with Hashem's help, with Heaven's help. That we soon merit it, with Hashem's help. — That we soon merit it. — And that I have livelihood in abundance, peace of mind, ...the Gemara says: the Holy One, blessed be He - the Kohanim bless Israel, and the Holy One, blessed be He, blesses the Kohanim.

8:02 You are in Hashem's service and you bless the Jewish people - the Holy One, blessed be He, Himself blesses in return. May you have much blessing, a good life, salvations from Heaven. — I have a student who made something very beautiful - sometime we'll bring you together - regarding the Temple, the korbanos - he made something very beautiful. A booklet for children on Kodashim and Taharos. — Ah, interesting. — Really very beautiful work. I think... I made an altar for children to assemble, out of cardboard, cut and glue... out of cardboard.

8:33 Ah, okay. So that's what was made. The Third Temple - this, as you know, the rendering of the Third Temple, is connected with Rav Yitzchak Kohen, who published books - three, three volumes came out. What, what? [unclear]? — Yes, yes... yes, we're in touch with them. Here I made a summary of the korbanos. — Truly wonderful, your honor, really.

8:57 So that it's accessible - Chumash Vayikra - to many people, like a book. Words... there are no words, none. There's nothing like it. It would be a joy and an honor for us if the Rav would look through it. With Hashem's help, bli neder. Bli neder, with Hashem's help, I'm going to learn from it. With Hashem's help. I'm glad to come upon such precious work here, and wonderful - it is truly, truly dear to me. This is real learning...

9:29 Yes. Baruch Hashem, this is something very, very, very precious. There are no words. But what clear, well-ordered work you've done here - truly, most wonderful. What about the machavas and the marcheshes? — We did them; we brought vessels that could be similar, that would fit. With a rim, without a rim - today it's the reverse. What's made today as a machavas, with a rim, without a rim - it's the opposite of today's usage.

10:02 So at home we made these. We made them in order to take pictures, to make it tangible, to make things that, with Hashem's help, will be of benefit, with Hashem's help. A great, great, great yasher koach. There are no words. There are no words. Wonderful. I'd be glad if the Rav would give a blessing. May the Rav have Heaven's help... to make the Torah great and glorious. — Amen. — May your wellsprings spread outward. — Amen. — Few in this generation engage in Kodashim and Taharos, and with such wisdom as he has.

10:34 He chose you; may He give you Heaven's help. — Amen. — Length of days and years. You are engaged in the greatest and loftiest thing there is in this world. — Amen. Thank you very much. — It's a privilege ...to learn this. So... good tidings, and may we soon merit to see built what you are engaged in. — With Hashem's help. Heaven's help to the Rav, good health, Heaven's help. 'You shall spread out west and east, north and south', with Hashem's help - in all your work... right and left... may everyone benefit, with Hashem's help, from the wonderful words of Torah...

11:07 ...Thank you very much. — I once learned something from this. I said: People today, when they curse someone, say: 'Go off to all the winds!' That's the greatest blessing! Everyone thinks it's a curse, but it's the greatest blessing. And may we merit it, with Hashem's help. Midrash Shir HaShirim - it's written in chapter 2, the Midrash: the Holy One, blessed be He, says: whoever learns this, engages in it, all the details and the details of the details - it's as if he is actually building it right now in Heaven.

11:36 May it be of benefit to us, with Hashem's help. May we merit the complete geulah. — Amen. — May our holy and glorious Temple be built. — Amen. — And may the merciful Creator help us, with our King at our head. — Amen. All these blessings... in everyone's merit. Amen, amen. Thank you very much. — I was glad to meet you.
