	'''Increasing Holy Passion'''		'''Increasing Holy Passion'''

−	Hashem took the Jews out of Egypt with great wondrous miracles, split the sea for them and gave them the Torah in tremendous noise and thunder, revealing his awesome, fearsome G-dlniess. Yet despite all this, right afterwards the Erev Rav managed to stumble them with the horrible sin of idolatry to the golden calf. When Moshe saw this, he realized the great power the Yetzer Hara has to trap people in ~~this world~~. He therefore introduced the creation of the Mishkan whose fundamental factor was charity, which increases a person's passion for holiness. This gave the Jews the passion needed to overcome the Yetzer Hara despite any darkness he hurls a person into.<ref name="LH Hil Birkas Hashachar 5:45"/>	+	Hashem took the Jews out of Egypt with great wondrous miracles, split the sea for them and gave them the Torah in tremendous noise and thunder, revealing his awesome, fearsome G-dlniess.

	'''Nullifying Lust for Money'''		'''Nullifying Lust for Money'''

−	Spiritually, idolatry and the 'lust for money' are very intertwined since a person only lusts for wealth out of a lack of faith in Hashem and belief in Divine providence, which are elements of idolatry. These cause a person to always worry where his money and livelihood will come from or if he already has money, he desires more and more. Therefore the Jews were given the opportunity to donate to the Mishkan since charity given completely for the sake of heaven, to completely righteous ~~causes~~ is a powerful rectification for the lust of money.<ref name="LH Hil Birkas Hashachar 5:45"/>	+	Spiritually, idolatry and the 'lust for money' are very intertwined since a person only lusts for wealth out of a lack of faith in Hashem and belief in Divine providence, which are elements of idolatry.
