Tent of Meeting. This contains a message for all generations: Torah is the
purpose of our life. When we subscribe to a life of Torah, we need not

cave. This was in merit of his love of Hashem and His Torah.

“Go to the people and make them ready today
and tomorrow… Let them be prepared for the
third day”
(Shemot 19:10-11)
