898) Tznius (11) - The Home, The Woman

00:01 The hemsach in reference to the earlier installment where we quoted from a sicha of the Rebbe on the 12th of Tammuz of Shenlam in 1970. We're continuing now as the Rebbe begins concluding the sicha b'negeah tznias. As mentioned many times, that although the inyan of tznias, men are also obligated, not less than women, and the inyan of tznias is already mentioned at the beginning of the Shulchan Aruch, which most of these halachas are equal or primarily by men. Nevertheless, we see in a practical sense that what is negeah, what pertains primarily to set up the foundation that the inyan of tznias by Am Yisrael should be in an appropriate manner to the extent that even when a total stranger sees a house that is of a Yid, he doesn't even need to go into the house, but immediately he already sees something that stands out for his eyes. מתיבה עליך יענקב משכנסיך ישראל Your tents are so good, O Yankev, your dwellings, O Yisrael. This is dependent on Yankev, the women, as it says in the Mechilta, that when it came to giving the Torah, before that it says, כי סמר לבשי יענקב That Moshe Rabbeinu was told, first speak to the house of Yankev, the women. And after that, וסגג לבני ישראל and then you can speak to the men. And therefore, when Bilam said, מתיבה עליך יענקב משכנסיך ישראל because he saw that the entrances of their tents were not exactly facing each other, this all begins from איי עליך יענקב from the

02:07 women, who is the עקרת הבית, the primary foundation of the house. And after that, it is also given to the men, משכנסיך ישראל The Almighty does not request more than how much a person could do. And since the Almighty requests it from every one of בנשי ישראל from the daughters of עם ישראל they are all referred to as the daughters of Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, and Leah. Each one of them individually is a daughter of our matriarchs, Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, and Leah. So in the same sense that by our matriarchs it was הכנסת אורחים hosting guests as we saw it from Avraham Avinu and on, which also demands there should be many entrances, but it was in a way of צניעות in a modest way. Likewise, every one of נשי ישראל women from עם ישראל could also have the עניין of הכנסת אורחים hosting guests that shows the closeness with people. And together with that, the עניין of צניעות modesty. That כל כבוד הבס מלאך פנימה That the beauty of a בס מלאך of a king's daughter is פנימה inward in the איל And this is when the איל and the משכן becomes מתיבה עליך יענקב משכנסיך ישראל That the tents are so good and the dwellings of ישראל how good they are with all the blessings that are mentioned after that in the פרשת בלק till וישראל עשה חיל that עם ישראל is מצליח And through this we merit the building of the third בית המקדש and the נקודה פנימית the Rebbe says the main

04:16 point is that we should merit to have children and grandchildren who are involved in תורה מצוות and to go together with them very soon to greet משיח צדקנו
