Description

In Parashas Terumah, Moshe Rabbeinu tells Betzalel the order of building the Mishkan in reverse order. Betzalel's approach of building the Mishkan, then the Aron, and then the keilim (vessels) is the logical way to be in this world - first create the structure and means, then fill that framework with the content. The Rambam says that it is the way of ba'alei deah (intelligent people) to first find a job, then find a place to live, then get married. Adar is the last month, and corresponds to the times before Moshiach, which are times when things are "v'nhafoch hu" (flipped around, or reversed).
