Tetzaveh - Heaven's Girdle

profound wow - this was an awesome talk, thank you again R. New.

i found the Rav's expression of the awesomeness of the material did not detract from my experience - in fact the additional personal commentary added to my experience, allowing me to sink in even deeper, as I felt he was as inspired and as moved in the presenting the material as much as I was in hearing it...

harmony verses unisom As one one of my hobbies is in fact spinning and weaving, directed and inspired by the woven articles in the Holy Temple, your class truly moved and inspired me. What came to mind was the simple clothing of the Cohanim, priests, and Leviim, Levites, whereas the Cohanim's belt was blue, equivalent to kindness, and the levites to red, strength.

At their level of service it was seperate but harmonious, like two different notes being played together, whereas the High Priest not only wore woven linen and wool together but also the different dyed wools, the techelet-indigo, argaman- purple, tolaat shani- scarlet, shesh- linen and gold, as you so beatifully expressed, reflecting oneness at the inner core of the heart, that is unison when the same notes are played together. Thank you. Reply

David's comments The Rabbi knows how to pronounce "encroached" David. His diction is near perfect. The 'error' you point out was caused by the Rabbi's thinking ahead to his next thought and inadvertently merging two words together. One wonders how you could posibly derive any enjoyment with this lecture when a slight misstep causes you to devote so much thought to this rather than the subject matter. kol tov. Reply

some comments a few comments:

1. Thank you for providing this class, i enjoyed it thoroughly.

2. Pronounciation of word "encroached" (around 20 min mark) the c is not silent as you pronounced. Dissapointing considering Australian origins of presenter.

3. A really beautiful shiur should not need the teacher to commentate on its content by calling it awsome etc. The content should speak for itself. I never heard the Lubavitcher Rebbe comment on his techings or even another Torah scholars teachings by describing its awsome nature. Indeed usually the teaching commented on its own awsome nature.

4. At the risk of contradicting myself may i add the shiur was brilliant and delivered by a lecturer with much talent. Thank you. Reply
