The Mishkan: Purpose, Meaning and Relevance (part 4)
Ohr HaChaim: ושכנתי בתוכם means that Hashem "dwells" in the Mishkan which is in the center of the encampment.
Human beings have aspirations of power. When we accept עול מלכות שמים we feel we are lowering ourselves. The ultimate bracha is ואולך אתכם קוממיות - to have Hashem with us and feel that we can be partners with Him.
Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch on significance of the use of metal and the other materials in the Mishkan.
