וַיַרְ א מֹשֶׁׁה אֶׁת־כׇּל־הַמְלָאכָה וְהִנֵה עָשׂוּ אֹתָהּ כַאֲשֶׁׁר צִוָּה ה ‘כֵן עָשׂוּ וַיְבָרֶׁךְ אֹתָם מֹשֶׁׁה.
“Moshe saw the entire work (for the Mishkan), and behold, they had done it as Hashem had commanded, so had they done. And Moshe blessed them.” -Shemos 39:43
On this verse, Rashi writes the following commentary:
אָמַר לָהֶׁם יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁׁתִשְׁרֶׁה שְׁכִינָה בְמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיכֶׁם, וִיהִי נֹעַם ה' אֱלֹקינוּ עָלֵינוּ וְגוֹ', וְהוּא אֶׁחָד מִי"א מִזְמוֹרִ ים שֶׁׁבִתְפִלָה לְמֹשֶׁׁה (ספרא)
“Moshe said to them, “May it be His will that the Shechinah should rest in the work of your hands.”
The Tifferes Shlomo explains that Moshe’s bracha was intended both for the Mishkan - “May Hashem’s Presence rest in the building of the Mishkan which came as a result of your contributions,” and for people’s personal affairs - “May Hashem’s Presence rest in your own projects.” We can learn from here that when a person contributes to Hashem, his personal projects are blessed!
Furthermore, says the Tifferes Shlomo, the beginning of that verse says that Moshe “looked” at the contribution’s of Am Yisroel. The bracha came as a result from that look! Because Moshe looked at their contributions with a positive eye (Ayin Tova) it brought down a special bracha from Heavens and created room for the Shechina to rest there.
We can learn from this that when we look at our teachers, friends, children, and spouses with a Ayin Tova, we bring a special blessing to them and allow the Shechina to be with them.
