The second lesson is to immediately involve people in learning programs. People need to be constantly challenged, both spiritually and intellectually. What better way to follow up an inspiring event than by committing to go to a class? This not only serves to perpetuate the inspired feelings, it allows for continual growth and, perhaps most importantly, continued contact and interaction with a rebbe – a spiritual guide and mentor.
The third lesson is to immediately commit to an action plan by turning the inspiration into the perspiration generated when things are getting accomplished. In this case, Moshe built upon the spiritual heights attained by people on Yom Kippur and immediately got them involved in building the Mishkan.
Three simple guidelines: a) Arrange for ongoing group gatherings and interactions; b) Enroll people in ongoing learning and growth programs; and c) Immediately get people involved with a project inspired by the “seminar.” While there are no foolproof plans, these guidelines will increase the likelihood that the “seminar moment” will become momentum and not simply a memory.
