To learn that "the sanctuary of God" cannot be made by human hands anymore than Divine providence can be made by human hands.We are living in the era of redemption. But with the return comes a deeper question: What is Israel’s purpose now? Is independence the end of the story — or just the beginning? What is the next phase in the journey of the Jewish people?
To learn that the words and subjects of the Law are not necessarily directly connected to the literal meaning of the words used.
The laws of ritual slaughter literally have nothing to do with killing farm animals in a temple or killing anything.
Kashrut has nothing to do with what you eat for dinner. Circumcision has nothing to do with snipping weenies.
The wisdom of God is hidden through figurative language. There is much more but I think you get the point.
