Class One. This מאמר discusses the relationship between 1) The Mishkan, 2) The work done in the Mishkan, 3) The journeys through the desert. This class wonders about the journeys that happened before the Mishkan was erected and teaches us something outstanding: the Yiddishkeit Jewish people received at Sinai existed within them inherently and shows itself in aspects of Jewish life that are easy for them, like Tzedaka. The journeys before Mattan Torah represent that!
Class Two. In this class we discuss the more difficult Mitzvos that Yidden wouldn’t do without 1) being given the Torah 2) and the “ביטול הגזירה” to empower us to do תורה ומצוות and make Hashem a בית המקדש and making this world a דירה לו ית’ בתחתונים. קהת is תורה, and they are raised up through the learning of Torah “נשא את ראש”. גרשון is תפילה as they are the first, which is connected to the first Middah חסד. They too are uplifted in this service: “נשא את ראש בני גרשון גם הם”. מררי is מצוות and their name connotes the bitterness of being involved in and with physical things. This מאמר explains the disconnectedness between these three things. It points out the advantage of מררי over the idea of נשיאות ראש.
