| Apr 7 at 20:02 | comment | added | Dov | @Shmuel yes...the Tzror Hamor :-) | |
| Apr 7 at 19:35 | comment | added | Shmuel | Are you aware of commentaries that explain this idea, as we mentioned, that the third part is where the offerings were, and thus symbolise our world where we need to offer ourselves, e.g. our yetzer hara? That will answer my question and I will be glad to accept the answer :) | |
| Apr 2 at 21:21 | comment | added | Dov | Correct - you offer korbanos to correct the sins so likewise in this lower world we need to fix our wrongs etc | |
| Apr 2 at 21:06 | comment | added | Shmuel | The last part is interesting. The third part of the Mishkan was where the offerings were, so too, we should, in our world, offer our yetzer hara. Is that it? | |
| Apr 2 at 20:35 | comment | added | Dov | I am no expert in Kabbalah, the middle world corresponding to the world of gilgulim and its relation to the menorah and shulchan I am still mulling over, but I believe he is saying (my own additional interpretation) the lower world i.e. this planet and us humans living on it, is full of imperfections and impurities and as Jews we are brought into this world to be a kli for a neshomo. We have to try and right our wrongs, make ourselves pure when we stumble etc. and this corresponds to entrance of the Mishkan, the initial aspirational step that was taken to bring korbanos to correct their sins. | |
| Apr 2 at 20:22 | comment | added | Shmuel | Interesting approach. Thanks. However, I have trouble understanding the somewhat kabbalistic (?) explanation of the Tzror HaMor. Could you maybe elaborate on the concepts discussed? "The upper world corresponds to the innermost part of the sanctuary" - this I understand. It is the most holiest of places, so it refers to the Heavens. But the rest I don't get. | |
| Apr 2 at 20:17 | comment | added | Dov | I can't say I fully understand it, but also take a look at Rabbeinu Bachya, Shemos 38:21 - sefaria.org/… | |
