The awesome holy kingdom of HY

 HH

Years ago a summer camp made a big project building a miniature replica of the Temple. They celebrated it's completion, and came Tisha Bi-av, they lit on fire and burned it down. Quite the lesson.

However beautiful their model was in resemblance to the Temple, it obviously didn't touch the actual beauty, splendor, and grandeur of the actual Temple, nor could they capture at all the miraculous atmosphere which presided, as we are taught in Avos of the daily miracles which took place in the Temple. 

The holy Temple itself was just an exterior physical seat for the Divine Merkava. Holy books such as the Haichulos of Rabbi Yishmuel, parts of the Zohar, and Bris Menucha give a glimpse of description of the actual spiritual merkava, whose power and beauty is indescribable, as it gives life and existence to all of creation. No power or force in the world could touch it. Just the purveyance of philosophy, occult, injustice, lust and so forth, poured forth torrents of putrid impurity, and the Merkava went into exile.  This is the backwards existence of today, when the most precious truth and beauty is hidden and blocked out by the rule of the putrid. The tragedy here is unfathomable, and one is required to mourn this infinite travesty. (The Sages warned that upon recounting the greatness of the true kingdom of HY there must not be any knives present, because the utter anguish can lead to great danger). In one second, the entire hierarchy and building of the evil empire will be nullified and disappeared by the true kingdom of HY.

Even still, even today, one can merit to live in the true paradigm of the awesome holy kingdom, if one falls the holy measures of Na Nach Nachma Nachman MayUman.

The mitzvah gives the strength

HH
In the Holy Land where we keep only one day of Yom Tov - one Pesach Seder, we often wonder how in the world people have the strength in Chutz Lu-uretz to do a second seder, and how even I myself did so many years. Finally I realized that it must be that when incumbent the mitzvah itself gives one the strength to perform it.

Na NaCh NaChMa NaChMaN MeUman!

Moses and Our Forefathers - the Divine Throne

HH

Our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are the merkava (throne) of the Shechina (Divine Presence), the three legs and pillars, the right-kindness, the left-judgment, and the center-mercy.

In Likutay Moharan, Torah-lesson six, Rabbainu revealed the way to attain the aspect of the man who sits on the throne, see there.

Moses surpassed the forefathers, for even in their role as Divine channels and pillars of the Merkava, they were still just that - those very attributes, whereas Moshe achieved the ultimate humility where all the attributes are null in their inclusion in the Ain Sof blessed He.

Elsewhere we have already explained that to have true Divine qualities even one's vessels must be drawn from Hashem, for how else can one even attempt to interact with the Divine? Just like we find true tzadikim who worked for a living even though they had full faith in Hashem's Providence and Provision, they took upon themselves the role of shouldering the channel of their provision, and in their role of employment they most definitely were drawing life and function of a Divine paradigm, nevertheless even still there were tzadikim who transcended even this lofty role, and they were completely in the aspect of Shabbos where there is absolutely no work. Everything is just Gd.

It is relevant to mention here that the way of the school of the Baal Shem Tov was not to keep or hold on to any money from one day to the next, for every day Gd provides a new provision, even still Rabbainu revealed that very high true Tzaddikim have a higher way of actually holding on to their wealth, as is evident by our forefathers who were very wealthy. So even though our forefathers were obviously living in a very high level of abnegation to Hashem, so high that it was there service to Gd to hold on to their wealth and the uphold their attributes and roles (I.e. it would have been easier for them to just let Gd run the show completely, and they had such faith and abnegation to Hashem that it would have been so, but they rose to the challenge of being the Merkava for all of the Divine Providence), even still Moshe achieved such a humility that transcended this, his humility was more than the actual role of the Merkava, and this is already taking the paradigm of the throne itself, ponder and understand this.
This I believe is the secret revealed by the Ramchal in Yichud Ha'yeeru that the vowels of Yeeras, Yeeras equalling 611 with Abraham and Isaac bringing it up to 613, and then Jacob making the Ne"r, but Jacob is still on the outside, and the building of the House is with Moshe, and the vowels of Yeeru equal 46 - mem vuv - which equals 100 which we know from Yichud Hagan and elsewhere is the Name Adny (with two yuds on the alef and one on the nun). See there and understand - the very vowels of the composition of yeeru upheld by the forefathers have a deeper root in Adn"y manifested by Moshe.
