Parsha:

Tetzaveh 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Kedushas Levi

Description

Why is Moshe Rabbeinu's (Moses) name not mentioned in the Parsha (Torah portion of Tetzaveh)? When the worlds look at the source of creation they become overcome with fear. In the root of existence everything is one. Why was Moshe acting like a Kohen (priest)? The tunic that Moshe wore symbolized oneness. Moshe Rabbeinu's inability to speak reveals a deep secret in serving Hashem. Moshe could not be demoted to be one person because was connected to all of Klal Yisrael (Jewish people).
