Purposeful Omission - Rabbi Andrew Israeli

the beginning of parshas titsava the battle tournament points out that for the first time since the birth of moshe rabbenu the beginning of safar shemos until safer divarim moshrabenu's name is omitted from the parsha many of the maforsham grapple with why it is specifically here in parshas titsava the moshrabenu's name doesn't appear so the safe haro's nayim latorra zalman sarotskin asks this question and points out the following idea and abstraction describes the fact that in a normal year in which we only have one aadhar in a year that isn't a leap year so hazal put together a calendar in which parshas tetsava and zainadar fall out during the exact same week and he asks why would that be why does moshe rabinu's name not appear in the week's parsha in which we commemorate moshe amen's yurt site and celebrate mosher abbey news birthday and revolution strategy describes the fact that in many other religions so the religion revolves around somebody who takes center stage there's a person a human being a buster of a dhamma flesh and blood who becomes the focal point of the entire religion everything surrounds this particular person all of the holidays all of the uh auspicious events in the religions uh existence are around and revolve around this particular individual and perhaps hazal was davka trying to describe to us that even though moshe abbayna was probably the human being most responsible for euthys mitzrayim and even though moshe albanu as the greatest leader of the jewish people ever had lo cambius or al-kimosa ode we can't lose fact and we can't lose sight of the fact that akras baruch was calling the shots the entire time that all of our holidays and all of the uh all of the religious experiences that we have don't revolve around the human being don't look at a human being that takes center stage but rather are all directed and channeled from through and to the ribonu shalom and perhaps it's specifically to emphasize this point that moshe rabino's name is dhafka omitted from parshas titsava specifically in the first week of adar specifically when one would think when we would commemorate and celebrate birthday in your site so moshe rabinu's name is not doesn't appear in this week's parasha to remind us to give us a sense of the fact that we uh we do things that revolve around the we don't kardashian people we don't worship bastard of adam but rather all of the torah we learn and all the mitzos that we do are really in an effort not to get closer to a human being but rather to get closer to akaresh baruch and as we go through this power show and as we read and we think about all of the hints to all of the different people throughout our parsha and all of the hints to moshe benu throughout our parsha so we have to remind ourselves that granted moshe avenue was the greatest leader we've ever had but everything that we do is here in an effort to get closer to takarish baruch all of the big day kihuna and binyan hamishkan that we're describing this past week and this upcoming weeks are all in an effort for akashbarghushfina amongst us and our goal in this world is to be able to accomplish that to do that to achieve that and ultimately work on our relationship with kud shabriko as much as possible
