If one sees only the glorious structure, attributing intrinsic sanctity to the materials themselves while forgetting the spiritual essence, the Mishkan becomes something akin to an idol. In secular cultures, women are de-valued, sometimes even reduced to physical objects. The Jewish woman, however, dresses so as to stress the essence of her inner being. All the glory of the daughter of the King is inward. There are times in life when everything seems to be bathed in the rosy glow of morning sun.
Life is full of promise and optimism.
There are times, too, when the future seems cloudy and obscure, when darkness and the uncertainty loom ominously. When describing the mitzvah of the daily offering, the Torah employs an unusual grammatical construction. The morning offering was to be slaughtered in the western part of the courtyard so the eastern wall should not block the rays of the rising sun. And the afternoon offering was to be slaughtered in the eastern part of the courtyard so the western wall should not obstruct the rays of the setting sun. Nowadays, we no longer have the closeness to Hashem that the service of the Beis Hamikdash brought us.
