Shittim wood

nd thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up. (Exodus 26:15 KJV)

Chassidic teaching sees the word shittim as related to the word shetut, "folly"--an allusion to the fact that the function of the Tabernacle was to transform the folly of materialism into "folly of holiness"--commitment to God that transcends the
rationale and normalcy of "the way things are."

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
(1 Corinthians 1:18-25 KJV)
