Parshat Vayakhel & Pekudei

From the Shiur:
Parshat Vayakhel & Pekudei: Integral Ingredients
Teacher: Mrs. Shira Smiles
Class: Parsha for Our Lives 5770

Why was the Miskan buried, and never destroyed by foreign hands, and the two Batei HaMikash were? Because the Miskan was built by righteous people and the Batei HaMikdash had foreign labor. This is to teach us that in anything we do the final result, the external beauty, is not as important as the process. In a way, Hashem values the effort more then the result.

In OA we talk about the physical recovery and the emotional recovery. Our efforts at developing self control and inner strengths are more important then what the scale says.
