Vayehi Bayom Hashmini 5713, Class One. This Ma’amar is about the fact that the Shechina moved into the Mishkan on (Rosh Chodesh Nissan, which is called) “the Eighth Day” which “Took 10 Crowns”. Just like the event of Mattan Torah was unique that all Yidden were equal that day, similarly, the day the Shechina enters the Mishkan all Yidden are equal. This requires גילוי העצם which is higher than ממלא כל עלמין (weekdays) and סובב כל עלמין (Shabbos) and is connected to ברית מילה. It is also connected to Moshe who is the idea of עצם, as he is השביעי וכל השביעין חביבין that they (rather than the אבות) bring the Shechina into the lowest world; also he is connected to אז (which is 1+7=8); and the idea of הוי’ דלעילא while the אבות are הוי’ דלתתא.

Vayehi Bayom Hashmini 5713, Class Two. This class is on the beginning and the end of the Ma’amar, why the day the Schechina moves in is called “the eighth day” that “took ten crowns.” It is the idea of Etzem. The כלי יקר based on the שו”ת הרשב”א about seven (היקף) and eight (שומר ההיקף). This is explained by the number eight: There’s A) weekdays B) Shabbos (7) and C) Mila (8); these three are ממלא כל עלמין and סובב כל עלמין and עצם. Shabbos has 3 ideas. Moshe is the idea of Mesiras Nefesh (ומאז באתי אל פרעה) which reveals עצם; also it is connected to שמן זית- also an idea of Mesiras Nefesh.
