said that the Menorah we know has גביעים, הלכה ט', פ\"ג מהלכות אלו, that the Menorah has cups, גביעים we call them, has flowers, and has buttons. Okay. הגביעים דומים לכוסות אלכסנדריאה, the cups were similar to the cups of Alexandria. What was their special type? שפיהם רחב ושוליהם קצר, that the mouth, opening, the top of the glass of the cup was wider and the bottom was narrower. So this is also that way. The chiddush of the Rambam is in the picture, he doesn't write it anywhere, but in the picture that it's upside down. Other mefarshim write the picture of the cups this way, like here they have a picture of the, שיטת הרמב\"ן they write. Here, the cups are up, like this, and here's a picture of the Rambam, the Rambam made it facing down. Like a window. So the Rebbe has a whole biur why the Rambam made it facing down, based on the Rabbeinu Bachya, that the גביעים showed how How could it be facing down? It has to hold oil. No, the cups didn't hold oil. What? Not those, not the cups for the oil, the גביעים! Oh, the That's what, yeah. Cuz the whole idea that Rabbeinu Bachya writes is that from this is the השפעה into the world, so a cup, the השפעה of the cup is you turn it around. See, you have a a a bucket, it's to hold, so you hold it, you fill up, but a cup is only when do you fill up a cup? When you're ready to drink from it. So you're filling up and the purpose is to go down. So mimela this, since this represents the השפעות from the עליונים, עולמות עליונים, so that's whatever, that's the reason of the kabbalah. But לפועל, the Rambam, in the picture that he makes with his own כתב יד קודש, they have the copy of this of the way he drew it in Peirush Hamishnayot, that is with the with the face facing down. Rabbeinu Bachya is a מקובל. Yeah, yeah.

והכפתורים כמו תפוחי כרתיים, the buttons were like apples of Kratayim, from from that city, from that place, which is round, but it's not mamash round, it's more like an egg shape. שהן ארוכין מעט, שהן ארוכין מעט, it's a bit longer, like an egg, ששני ראשיהן חדין, and both sides are not like round completely, but more to a point. והפרחים, the flowers, כמו פרחי העמודים, like the flowers that you make on on on beams, שהן כמין קערה, like a plate, ושפתה כפולה לחוץ, it's like a plate, but it's round. Because if you have a straight plate and you have a plate that the edges turn around this way, so that's like a flower. גובה המנורה, the height of the Menorah was י\"ח tefachim, 18 tefachim. And the Rambam goes to this seder how it was. Actually, here there's also a picture of it, and the real reason I brought this is because there's a picture here of the שולחן that we're going to learn soon. Here you have a picture, they have a drawing of the Menorah also. Here's a drawing of the Menorah, and it has also the the amounts. Because last week was a so I kept it. Okay, here the height of the Menorah is 18 tefachim high. הרגלים, the feet, and the pair of feet includes also the the the base. And we learned that there was a flower right on top of the base. That's ג' tefachim, that's three tefachim. ב' טפחים חלק, then there were two tefachim empty. וטפח שבו גביע כפתור ופרח, then you have one tefach which had all three. On the bottom on this area, it had a גביע, a cup, and a flower, and a button and a flower. Then וב' טפחים חלק, again two tefachim empty. וטפח כפתור, then there was a tefach of a כפתור. It looks like it's smaller, these are Oh, so I was going to say it, yeah. Here, one כפתור was a whole tefach. And here you had between one tefach, you had a גביע and a כפתור and a פרח, so these were smaller and this was bigger. So the כפתורים that were in the middle that the branches came out from, they were big, they were big כפתורים. So it has like this: one tefach was the כפתור, ושני קנים יוצאים ממנו, and the two branches came out, אחד הילך ואחד הילך, one here, one here, ונמשכין ועולין, they went up כנגד גובה המנורה, to the same height as the middle one. וטפח חלק, and another tefach was empty. וטפח כפתור, and there's another tefach, the button, ושני קנים יוצאין ממנו אחד הילך ואחד הילך, that the two branches came out to each side, ונמשכין ועולין כנגד גובה המנורה, that came up to the height, which means the next one was a shorter one. The lower ones were higher, were longer, I mean, and the second one was shorter, and the third one was even shorter, because they all had to add up to the end up at the same place. וטפח חלק, there was one tefach empty. וטפח כפתור, there is another tefach which is the whole button, ושני קנים יוצאין ממנו, and the two branches came out, אחד הילך ואחד הילך, one this side, one on this side, ונמשכין ועולין כנגד גובה המנורה, and they came up to the Menorah. Then after that, וב' טפחים חלק, there was two טפחים empty after this top the third טפח over here. This after the third טפח here, there was two two טפחים empty. Okay. Then there was one טפח, כפתור ושני קנים no, and then נשתיירו ג' טפחים, then you had three טפחים left, שבהן, the top three טפחים had שלשה גביעים כפתור ופרח, the three cups and a כפתור ופרח was at the top. So that's how it came out. So it's not that all the way down, it's a lot of a lot of space here was empty, or like you have in these pictures, like in this picture you have this thing that on the top here, and this is empty, and here you have all these different okay. Wasn't there a שיטה the נרות... Huh? It's a very clear diagram. Ah, here's a clear diagram. Ah, this is very clear. Yeah. You have this, and you have this, the כפתור, and then you have... But that's different. They make they make it a little different, yeah. Here, it's not one on top of the other, but one within within the same area. Here you have this, and here you have these things. Here this goes according to the שיטה that the כפתור and the פרח were not one on top of the other. They were both put together. No, this one is in the other. In the כפתור, in the פרח I mean, the a flower has a flower and then there's a space in the middle. In that middle came in the כפתור. So how do you make a picture? That's Rashi probably. It's Rashi? I don't know why. Maybe it's Rashi, I don't know. Let's see. The one you mentioned the other day. What does it say? Rashi? No, it's not Rashi. Yeah? What does it say? Here. Oh, follows Maaseh Choshev. But

Maaseh Choshev had all opinions. Maaseh Choshev holds it was round. So, could be Maaseh Choshev holds holds that this was together, something in that thought. But this clearly the Maaseh Choshev writes that the their branches were round. I mentioned yesterday, the reason he says it was round, because it doesn't say anywhere it was straight. Which the Rebbe says, it even doesn't say, it says clearly. But besides that, he says the word קנה means round. And the Rebbe says, I don't understand where he gets it from. The word קנה means straight. And a קנה is what grew a straight thing, why But anyway, but that's... He doesn't say Rashi? If you speak it, say round. I would think like that. If it if it was round, it would have to say. He writes since it doesn't say anywhere it is, so there's not a משמע that it was round. Okay. Who does mention the נרות? Huh? The נרות? No, the נרות was on top of the eighteen טפחים. The נרות, where the cups which held the oil, that was on top. So why not mention it? Yeah, but that's not part of the eighteen... טפחים... the שי... this is the שיעור of the מנורה. Right, because they just rested on it. Yeah, it wasn't cemented, it wasn't like built-in. But it was all Some hold they took them off every day every to clean. Wasn't part of the ככר either. Wasn't part of the ככר either. But the Rambam says it was קבוע. קבוע means it wasn't set in, it was always there. They didn't separate it. So קבוע maybe So it wasn't it wasn't made originally? No. Wasn't part of the ככר. No, so the annexed was קבוע. קבוע means it was set to stay, but never Others hold it was set part of it, part of the ככר. Others hold, per chance, that they even took it out. This, no. Okay. ואבן היתה לפני המנורה, there was a stone in front of the מנורה, בה שלש מעלות, it had three steps, שעליה כהן עומד, on those three steps the Kohen would stand, ומטיב את הנרות, and would clean the Menorah. Or מטיב, the Rambam בכלל holds מטיב means he lit, because... By the way, here's a picture of Rashi's... Of Rashi's? גביעים. The גביעים together with the... Is it is it Rashi? Oh, it's not in the other. And oh, not like you said before. Different picture. Oh, and that's Rashi! That's why I was surprised when you said Rashi holds the other way. I didn't I didn't I didn't remember that Rashi said it. Okay, the Rambam holds בכלל, not here, it doesn't say it, but in a different place, when there's two things, there was in the morning it was הטבת הנרות, and in the evening it was הדלקת הנרות. So most meforshim learn, I think everybody besides the Rambam, that הטבה means the cleaning, and הדלקה means the lighting. And the Rambam holds that הטבה is also lighting. The Rambam holds that they lit the Menorah twice. There're different expressions, but the tochen is the same thing. הטבה means you make it good, so you make it light, and הדלקה is lighting, the same thing. But here it doesn't touch it. He says, that's where the Rambam the the Kohen was מטיב את הנרות. Just one in the morning, one in the evening? Huh? Yeah, once in the morning, once in the evening, כהנחה כהנחה. ומניח עליה, he would put on this stone, את כלי שמנה, the כלים that held the oil, ומלקחיה ומחתותיה, and the the the... Tongs? Tongs, tweezers like tongs, ומחתותיה is like the shovels, בשעת הטבה, when he did the הטבה. Now I don't know why in the picture, they bring a picture in the Rambam and they say per chance... Right. In the picture it shows, no, where were where were the כלים standing? Another, yeah. On the floor or on the side. But the Rambam says it was on this here. And he doesn't even say Here it's mashma it was on top. Other place, the Rambam says it was on the second step, but here the Rambam, mashma, on top of the top of the third step, that's where it was. I don't know why they they had this picture. The picture probably that he took from somebody else. So here they they have the three legs, and it doesn't have... He doesn't have it. They have very little feet. Right, yeah, little legs, we don't know. Little little legs... Feet. Yes. And the טפח was the the the, we said in the beginning, the three טפחים includes the legs and the base and פרח here. רגלים ופרח, three טפחים. But the word רגלים includes the whole thing. And the פרח was right... base What was it? Where Where does it say about the base, had to have a base? It doesn't say. But it shows the base. Three feet. It had three legs in the base. It shows three feet. Yeah, but the You could have three feet coming out like this without Because So, how do you know they had this? I mean, doesn't mention it actually, but that's what the shows was. It's a piece. There's There's no description of the base. Yeah. It says ירכה. ירכה, the פסוק is, עד ירכה עד פירחה. I think the picture's there. It's picture here, too. עד ירכה. ירכה means probably there was a ירך. ירך means there was a there was a bottom to it. How big were the canisters for the oil like how much did it hold? Enough to hold the the the amount of the עבודה. No, to burn all night. So, what? Exactly how much. Rashi Rashi says in Chumash, no? Little wicks though, I would assume. Not little wick. Big wicks. They used to make in the big wick and it had a it was a big כלי. It was like a loaf. But I don't remember the exact number. Rashi says in in פרשה that they measured out חכמים figured out how much you need to burn the longest night, a ליל טבת. he says, and that they made. So, even other times it would last longer, into the day. But at least the longest night should have enough, so that's what they figured out. But Rashi says how much it was. So, why why did any of the נרות show angled even though we said that it is? Any of the Cuz the fire can't be angled, no. See what see how they show here? Not saying just the the actual cups Here Here, he teaches here that the cups had the place where the wick came out with angles. See? And probably was at at angles, but the fire was What wasn't just the fire that is the to the actual Yeah, that's what it seems from this part. So this is going like this. This is the picture of the of the way they made this is a picture the way they made now the Beis Hamikdash, the cups where you had the oil. And the wick, I don't know it comes out from the top here No, like I think it comes out from the side cuz it's supposed to be מול פני המנורה. Okay, now

we're going to go to the שולחן. השולחן. השולחן היה ארכו שנים עשר טפח was 12 טפחים long ורחבו שישה טפחים and 6 טפחים wide. והיה מונח ארכו לאורך הבית. The length of it was in the length of the בית המקדש. ורחבו לרוחב הבית, and the width was the width of the בית המקדש. וכן שאר כל הכלים שבמקדש. Same with all the כלים, אורכן לאורכו של בית, the length was made on the length of the בית, ורחבן לרוחב הבית, and the width and the רוחב, חוץ מן הארון שהיה ארכו לרוחב הבית. Except the ארון which was the other way, the length of the ארון was in the רוחב of the בית. וכן נרות המנורה כנגד רוחב הבית מצפון לדרום. The מנורה also stood between צפון and דרום, not between מזרח this is the entrance of the בית המקדש, מזרח to מערב, צפון and דרום, so the מנורה stood this way. Because there's a big מחלוקת in this. That's what the whole you have the Reshimos Hamenorah. The Rebbe has a whole arichut in נגלה, pshat, in all חסידות. From the Reshimos. Mamash there's a whole sefer out of it. Mamash, a sefer for itself, the Reshimos Hamenorah, ah? Whole sefer. And there the Rebbe goes into The Frierdiker Rebbe wrote to the Rebbe. about this thing. You should write something about this, and the לשון, he writes is, \"Das is gut bearbeiten.\" That was work on it good, and be מסביר the ענין על פי נגלה and על פי חסידות. The Rebbe wrote a whole arichut, pages upon pages, of being מסביר. But the Rambam על כל פנים holds that it stood from צפון to דרום. I think Rashi is the one that holds it stood from מזרח to מערב.

ארבעה סניפין של זהב היו לשולחן, there were four סניפין. How do we teach in English סניפין? Braches? How does it Frames. Oh, frames. Okay, that's it. מפוצלין מראשיהן, and on the at the top, they were מפוצל. Now, this goes into a whole fight, what this means. מפוצל means branched off, or something. Now, what does that mean? So, some people learn like, yeah, in this book, here, where they have a picture of the A book they have a picture of the שולחן. Here, they have a picture of the שולחן. So, you see the picture of the שולחן, here, this is these are the bread, but this this is, see, this what they're talking, this is a סניף. This is a סניף. מפוצל, they taytsh In this picture, it taytsh that at by every place, מפוצל means that it came to two Frames. That's, oh, it taytsh here also. מפוצל means that it comes that at every point, it had came out with two sides. Fork. Like a fork. In Here, how do they taytsh מפוצל? Also, that these sticks were מפוצל. It means it came out with two sides. But lav davka, they came They when they want to taytsh מפוצל, has to be like, you know, like a slingshot you have. Here, מפוצל means straight. Why does it have to be crooked? And it's also, he taytsh they taytsh it מפוצל. Because it's not exactly clear. See, this one made the exact picture like that. See? Two is פיצול. Where is the number two here? Oh, you see, here they have numbers in the back. One is the קנה. Shows a fork. And then, you have two is פיצול פיצול, see? That's picture of this, and then this, the three is the סניף. So we're going to learn up, so the סניף we just learned. This is the סניף, then the פיצול is this, here, or straight, whichever way. And then we'll see vayter. It had four סניפים מפוצלים, שסומכים בהם שתי המערכות, because that will hold the two מערכות of the לחם הפנים. Both orders of the לחם הפנים, both sides are called מערכות. So these things held the מערכות of the לחם הפנים. שנים מצד זה ושנים מצד זה. So you had these סניפים, two sides, here one, and the other side, the back of this, and here one on the back of that. So you had four. והם הנאמרים בתורה וקשותיו, that's called in the תורה וקשותיו, okay that's קשות. Then besides that, וכ\"ח קנים של זהב. Then it has 28 קנים. קנים are like pipes, rods, rods, that's the word I'm looking for. Rods, golden rods. כל אחד מהם כחצי קנה חלול היה לו. It was like a half, like a half a circle, semicircle, and empty like a semicircle like this. And there were 28, ארבעה עשר מצד זה וארבעה עשר מצד זה. There was 14 on one side and 14 on the other side. That, see here, these these things stick out, or here you have it in the, no, in this picture you'll have it, okay you don't. Okay, here they want to show. Anyway, in between here, between this one and this one, they had these קנים, because you have to lay the לחם הפנים on something. So they have to make floors. So these are the things that held it. And then in here, according to this picture, it even had like holes in it. Each one had a hole and they stuck through the קנים. Now what was the cheshbon of 28? Combination of both. This one has one Y, not a Y for each one. Yeah. And then the side the side pieces, storage. No, this is not the side, this is לחם. This is the bread. This is the bread, so he has one קנה with one thing and then... Okay. But it supports... Because no, because from this middle came out the קנים. We'll see what the what the קנים did. So he said you had 14 and 14, והם הנקראים מנקיות. In Chumash it's called מנקיות. Then besides that, you had שני הבזיכין שמניחים בהן הלבונה על השלחן. Then you had the two בזיכין in in in Yiddish in cheder they always called it lefl. בזיכין means like cups. Huh? No, they would be on the table laying. What do they, or they look like, yeah, spoon thing. Big lefl. In English they don't call it spoons, I think, I don't know what... Incense bowls. Bowls, yeah, bowls. And they had handles. Here they have a picture like this. Here they made it fancy. See, these are real pictures. These are not drawings. These are the pictures of what they made now in Machon Hamikdash. They they made כלים for the בית המקדש. Not a replica to have like a a a model. They made it for the בית המקדש. So when they build it... That's what they want. They sign that's that's what they want. Mashiach will come and everything, but they made it clear that Mashiach will come there should be no excuse. We can't build the קרבנות because we don't have כלים. So they made all the כלים. The only thing they couldn't make is the Menorah. They made the Menorah out of silver not out of gold because it's too expensive. When Mashiach comes, they'll go to the Vatican and pull out all the other... Maybe, I don't know. Is the שולחן gold? Yeah, yeah, also gold. Very expensive. Huh? Did you go there? In the Machon Hamikdash? I went to the beginning, the first part, the second part was too late and it was very expensive to get in and it was late, so I wanted to do something else, but I went to they had that like a first part that you could see some of the כלים. But the Menorah they keep in public. The Menorah is in a big glass case on on the outside in the Rova there. Anyway, so this is the בזיכין, והם נקראו כפות, כפות, so they're כפות, because it's like spoons. והדפוסים, then you had the כלים which were the the forms שעושים בהם לחם הפנים, which in which they would bake the לחם הפנים, והם נקראים קערות. קערות means the plates. Okay. Now the Rambam is going to explain, what did they do, why did we have 28 קנים? What were they for? 14 here, 14 here. So he says like this: אלו ארבעה עשר קנים, cooking? For baking the לחם הפנים. So they couldn't be, they could be anything? Right, they could be anything. They were כלי שרת. They were כלי שרת. Now these 14... That was an iron mold? Iron, yeah. אלו הארבעה עשר, these 14 קנים, so how did they work? Okay, like this: There were each line had six חלות, together were 12 חלות. מניח חלה ראשונה על עצמו של שלחן. The

first חלה had no problem, is on the table, the table itself. ונותן בין ראשונה ושניה שלשה קנים. Now in after on top of this first one, in order to be able to lay down the second one, they put in three קנים which was enough to hold the second one. ובין כל חלה וחלה שלשה קנים, and then the next one... it was three, and the next one three. ובין ששית וחמישית, but between the fifth and the sixth, שני קנים בלבד. Only two קנים. Why? שאין על הששית אחרת. See, all the other ones had to hold the whole thing from the top. The second one had to hold, the פועל was holding all the top. The top one was the the the a fifth only had to hold the top one, so it didn't need such a strong thing, only had two. נמצא, so it comes out, ארבעה עשר בכל מערכה ומערכה. That's why there's 14. Between the first and the second is three, between the second and the third three, between the third and the fourth three, the fourth and the fifth three, and between the fifth and the sixth two. So together 14, and the same thing was on both sides. נמצא ארבעה עשר בכל מערכה ומערכה, so there's 14 on every מערכה. wouldn't it get crushed from all the weight from the It wouldn't. It

wouldn't, no. Not like not the קנים, but the four סניפין Yeah. were holding the weight. Yeah, but still. Shouldn't be difference between three or two? In other words, it's the סניף with the But the סניף has Every It depends how you But every סניף, it depends how you design it. The סניף According to that picture, yeah. According to that picture, the סניף would hold the weight, and according to this each one was on top, and and it was just... It just it just framed out the two sides of the of the loaves, and then each loaf was one on top of the other. The other way on that one, also. That one you have them coming off the Y. I know, but even that, since there's a lot of weight coming down, this could No way. All the weight's on the on the סניפין. All the weight's on the סניפין, but the one at the top the top weight also it weighs down on the קנה. Only on the vertical way. So look at that picture again. That's what I'm saying. If you look at the picture and you see how it's resting on each Y, no, that that one, the other one, yeah, you see the poles come all the way through? I mean this one. Yeah, this one. Yeah. This one, you see all the are right on top of the weight. This is the bread. This is the bread. And so it has this little slot in there each bread? No, this is part of the... You had three of these. This is part of the סניף, yeah. The סניף, the the the wooden But you see here it's taka the way they made it here that only the middle one was connected to the סניף, the two others were not connected to the סניף, maybe for that reason. See, this picture, this is a סניף, yeah. This middle one went through to the סניף, these two were laying just on this. But this held it. Well, nothing held more than one row. No, I mean, other than the vertical There's a little Y inside it. That pole is sitting on that that part of the סניף. Yeah, but doesn't this have to hold up all this weight also? If they're sitting right on top of each other because there was no space in between. No, they have individual And this doesn't It doesn't mean that this has to hold all this? No? Is it all on top? No. Okay, I'm not an architect today. Okay, let's just learn another halacha or two.

שני שלחנות היו באולם. In the אולם, מבפנים inside the אולם, which means the third, first compartment, the first of the three, על פתח הבית by the door, had two tables. אחד של שיש, one was made of marble, שנותנין עליו לחם הפנים בכניסתו. When they brought in the לחם הפנים, so they put it down there, and then they went open the door and go in. ואחד של זהב, one was gold, שנותנין עליו לחם ביציאתו. When they would take the bread out on Shabbos, because they would take out, they would put it on a gold one. Why like that? שמעלין בקדש ולא מורידין. You have to go up, so taking it out is already the next step. Last week they put it in, now they're taking it out, it's another higher מדרגה. So in higher מדרגה, you have to have it greater. Are the tables the decorations, or they had Huh? The tables are decoration? Yeah, yeah, that's that's that says a separate decoration. Huh? What? No, no. That's a Mishnah. No, I don't know. They're practical, but you know. These guys fit a combine? Yeah, mistama. Mistama, otherwise, what's it hanging in there? So, yeah. fit a combine inside. Yeah. Is he going? Why is taking No, he's like 160 something. Why is taking the bread out a higher מדרגה? It's next מדרגה. You already had it, now you're going to do the the this purpose. The

purpose is that we should eat it on Shabbos. You put it in, now it comes to its תכלית, now it comes So marble is as chashuv as gold or silver? No, that's the Gold is more chashuv. That's why first was marble, then was gold. When were they baked? Friday?
