Description

One cannot have furniture if one doesn't have a house first, so how can one understand Hashem's command to Moshe to first fashion the Keilim and only afterwards build the Mishkan. Wasn't Betzalel's suggestion totally valid? Doesn't the Rambam say explicitly that one should first get a job and then get married. Why doesn't anyone follow that nowadays? Rav Weinberger connects this idea to approaching spiritually in our lives and its practical implications.
