Rashi says that as important as Meleches HaMishkan building the Mishkan can be, it still does not: דוֹ ֶח ַשׁ ה ָבּ ת take precedence over the Shabbos. In Parshas Ki Sisa it says: ןוֹתָבַּשׁ תַבַּשׁ לא טו and Rashi explains: ְמנוּ ַח ַמ ת ְרגוֹ ַﬠ which the Meforshim explain an extreme in Menucha. And the Targum Yonasan learns that: תָבַּשַּׁה תֶא תוֹשֲׂﬠַל אל זט “make” the Shabbos sounds like “doing something” [although Shabbos is a day of “not” doing] which he explains that you have to have: ַתּ ְפנוּ ֵק ַשׁ י ְבּ ָת א special enjoyment with zero Atzvus. [Pirush Yonasan].
Wouldn’t you say that building a house for Hashem is more important than Shabbos, which appears like a day of not doing anything and just having a good time! And Shabbos is so Chamur important, that: תָמוּי תוֹמ ָהיֶלֲלַחְמ לא יד those who violate it shall be put to death! We see that the concept of enjoying life [in the proper way] is Kodesh Kodashim and of paramount importance! Shabbos and Bitachon are synonymous, and the Gr”a says the Torah was given to us mainly so that we should acquire Middas HaBitachon.
Chazal say that Gan Eden asks for Tzadikim who are Baalei Bitachon! Someone with Bitachon in Hashem is a relaxed person who enjoys Hashem’s world, instead of being full of stress. On Shabbos we have Lechem Mishneh, which is a Zecher to the Mon. When we received the Mon, it says: ˂ֵלֵיֲה וּנֶּסַּנֲא ןַעַמְל אֹל םִא יִתָרוֹתְבּ בשלח טז ד this will be in order to test them if they will listen to My Torah or not. Getting Mon [which means having an easy life without working] is actually a test!
It’s not easy to be in a Midbar without food, and yet be calm and not save for tomorrow. Only Reshaim [like Doson and Aviram] saved! Imagine! The practical “down to earth” person is actually a Rasha! How important is Bitachon and Simcha in Yiddishkeit!
