Just end with one last point, and that
is when I was a little boy, I used to go
very often Friday night together with my
Zayda, Reb Yitzchak Meir, zichrono
livracha. He used to take me to a
Chumash shiur by one of the local
rabbonim, Reb Abba Brantsweig, zichrono
livracha. He had a shul on 19th Avenue,
47th Street, and some of my fondest
childhood memories is on, you know, 10°
below zero freezing Friday nights going
with my Zayda to Rabbi Brantsweig. See
Avrumi laughing? Avrumi Stone and Avrumi
Grossman.
Both of them are Avrumis.
To
hear his Chumash shiur. I remember it
was parshas Shmos, and he said,
"Vayeilech ish mi beis Levi vayikach es
bas Levi."
Who's the ish mi beis Levi? It was
Amram. And who was the bas Levi? It was
Yocheved. So he says, "Why didn't the
pasuk just say, "Vayeilech Amram
vayikach es Yocheved?" Vayeilech ish mi
beis Levi vayikach es bas Levi. He said,
"The Torah is coming to tell us that to
have a Moshe Rabbeinu, you don't
necessarily have to be an Amram and a
Yocheved, but you could be a regular
person mi beis Levi who takes a regular
person that's a bas Levi. But if you set
up your house and you raise your child
in the right way, you could be zocheh to
have a son that's going to be Moshiach
shel Yisrael. You could be zocheh to
have a son that's a Moshe Rabbeinu." Had
the pasuk said, "Vayeilech Amram
vayikach es Yocheved," well, then having
a child that's going to make such a
difference in this world would be above
our pay grade. But the Torah says,
"Vayeilech ish mi beis Levi." What's the
mensch? Vayikach es bas Levi. It was a
nice shidduch. There's a chassan and a
kallah tonight. A beautiful, beautiful
shidduch. And from this shidduch, an ish
mi beis Levi together with a bas Levi is
aroisgekommen a Moshe Rabbeinu. Again,
this is just a little bit of the story
of Moshe. Be'ezras Hashem, in the next
year, the shibud and the story of Moshe
are going to converge, and that we'll
get to be'ezras Hashem tomorrow.
