In the video: the words of Rabbi Shai Tahan/PR
Sometimes it seems to us that we run the world, and that we control our lives.
Here we do, work and so to speak we control our day to day, but the current war has shown us all that the one who runs the world is only the Holy One, blessed be He, and that even if it seems that we are doing, after all everything happens from above.
Rabbi Shai Tahan Rosh including Sha'ari Ezra and head of Beit Teresha Erzi HaLebanon explains that we see this foundation in the Parsha of the Week, Parsha of Pakudi, that our Rabbi Moshe was commanded by the Holy One, blessed be He, to build the Mishkan.
Moshe turns to the Holy One, blessed be He, and says to him: I cannot raise the Mishkan because of its honor, the Holy One, blessed be He, answers him: Do as if you are erecting the Mishkan and I will truly erect it.
Rabbi Tahan asks, after all, what is the use of the 'as if', and that Moshe wanted to build the Mishkan only with the 'as if'? Rather, he explains: everything we do in life, on a daily basis, is all in the 'as if', because we are not We do, but the Holy One, blessed be He, He does and He enlivens the world every moment, and it only seems to us that we are doing and acting in the world.
The same is the case with the establishment of the Mishkan, the Holy One, blessed be He, erected the Mishkan, but he acted 'as if' Moshe Rabbinu erected the Mishkan, because everything that happens in the world is blessed by Him, and not by us.
