Hello Rabbi,
First of all, thank you for the fascinating material, it’s simply a pleasure to hear and read the rabbi.
I would be happy if you could awaken my eyes to the perception that leaven is evil, the root of lust, the root of idolatry, idolatry…
The words do appear more in the Zohar, but in Tractate Berakhot 17, the Shaur is also mentioned in the Issa, and Rashi explains that this is Yitzhar. What is the meaning of these words?
And why was it also forbidden to bring leaven into the Tabernacle and the Temple?
Is it possible that they originated from the Tabernacle?

These are literally necessary. Ignore them. See my article here:

I didn’t understand your question at the end.

I can’t resist, so I’ll copy here what I received today:
This year, I decided to study the laws of Passover in depth for the first time and was amazed to discover a certain tone among some of the poskim that the commandment to eliminate chametz applies to physical chametz and not just the chametz of the heart.

If it is forbidden to bring leaven into the Mishkan, perhaps this is a sign that it is a somewhat negative thing, and so perhaps they took their words from here…
But it is more difficult for me that these things are found in the Gemara, both in the Babylonian and the Jerusalem Talmud…
These things are written over and over again, also in the later books…
It is difficult to ignore this…

Where did you find out that it is forbidden to bring leaven into the tabernacle? Has a new law come out?

If so, could you please expand on your method of ignoring the teachings of the sages? And when not?
I understand that there are times when they are completely unfounded, is this one of them? Or is there generally nothing to refer to the teachings?
Could you explain a little?
Do you believe in the method of the Ramban in the writings or a more radical method?
Thank you very much

There are no rules here. No one has been given authority over sermons. There is authority only in relation to halakha. As for sermons, choose what you like, whether it's that of a sage or the Pope, or some rabbi in our time. Whatever you don't like, ignore. That's all.
