What makes something truly holy, and why was the original Mishkan never destroyed while both Temples fell? In this episode, we explore the Sforno's profound insight that perfect sanctity creates eternal endurance. We'll examine why every person involved in building sacred spaces matters, why the materials and methods used have spiritual consequences, and how even one compromised element can affect the holiness of our institutions. Drawing on examples from Rav Chiya's extraordinary dedication to pure Torah teaching and wisdom from the Vilna Gaon, we offer practical guidance for maintaining unblemished kedusha in our shuls, yeshivas, and homes. Discover why the Yetzer Hara's greatest deception is convincing us that the ends justify the means in spiritual matters, and learn how to build foundations of integrity that can truly last forever.
