The Baal Haturim says that in the current Parshe Tetzaveh Mosheh Rabbenu’s name is not mentioned. But I heard that it is implied at the end of the parshe. ‘יכפר עליו לדרתיכם קודש קדשים הוא לה the first letters of this verse add up to Mosheh. He will ask forgiveness for us in future generations.
So, why is Moshe’s name not in Parshas Nitzavim?
(Yes, I know I’m an apikores for even asking this question)
The Wolf
Nitzavim and Vayalech can also be considered one parshah. They are almost always read together.
RE.
Who said the klal of the beginning of the parsha?
Reb eliezer,
Is moshe rabbeinu’s yahrtzeit in Adar aleph or Adar beis?
Where is the inyan of there being an Adar A and Adar B first mentioned in Tanach or was it brought down later by chazal? My vague recollection is references to a chodesh by the number (aka 7th month) or in the context of other naarative where the time is known (aka h’chodesh hazeh lachem rosh chadashim). But where do we find the first reference to Tishrei , Adar Aleph etc.
GH. Adar a and b is learned from ניסן being called חודש האביב. It always needs to be in the spring. So every now and then the month closest to Nissan is doubled in order to make sure that indeed Nissan deosnt become ,a חודש of חורף.
GH. The names we use for months come from בבל. And are first found in דניאל. Also in מגילת אסתר it says בחודש שנים עשר הוא חודש אדר. I think it mentions החדש העשירי הוא חודש טבת as well and בחודש הראשון הוא חדש ניסן.
Thank you RE for these beautiful divrei Torah.
Re the kashya from nitzovim.
What about breishis-shmos.
אלא מאי, it wasn’t shayyach to say Moshe bc he wasn’t part of the story. So too, parshas nitzovim is just a continuation of moshes speech to klal Yisroel and there was simply no reason to mention his his name.
The whole kashya from tetzaveh לכאורה, is bc it is a bunch of commands from Hashem to Moshe – no diff than Terumah, and plutzling and on contradistinction no more וידבר ה’ אל משה לאמר.
Just a strange transition to אתה תצוה. And ועשית this and ועשית that.
Always keep it as simple as possible.
Just looked again and it could be i missed it but it seems that Moshe is not mentioned in Ekev, Re’eh, Shoftim and Ki Seitzei.
But what I wrote earlier doesn’t work too good bc, וידבר ה’ אל משה לאמר is just used once at the beginning of תרומה. The rest is ועשית, this ועדות that.
So that לכאורה diminishes the need for a וידבר משה at the beginning of תצוה.
Unless you want to say the etzem beginning of a parshas, but that’s shver to say bc מהיכי תחתי that the parshiois hashavua imply an automotive disruption in עניין that requires a new וידבר.
אדרבה, tetzaveh conceptually is just a continuation of ענייני משכן.
Unless the need for ה’ to say ואתה or ואתה תצוה, i.e. the ציווי aspect implies some new thing.
It’s probably the ואתה part of it as we never see this formulation used in the beginning of a דיבור. And here is is used three times in a row 2 at the beginning of a parsha and one in the middle.
In any case it’s still not קלאר.
BY1212; Thanks…I wouldn’t have know the Daniel reference but embarrassed that I didn’t remember the clear references in the Megillah.
Some sources interpret Divrei Hayamim 30:2 to mean that Chizkiyahu HaMelech intercalated a second Adar — but later than he was supposed to.
Charlie, Mishna Pesachim mentions this as one of the things Rabbis did not approve of Chizkiahu. That was from the time when it was possible to have leaders who did both great things and mistakes. Baruch Hashem, we live in greater times.
R Twersky quotes R Sorotskin that Torah davka does not mention Moshe’s name around his yohrtzeit because Hashem does not want us to have Hero worship. So, all the discussions trying to find Moshe’s name in the parsha seem counter-productive.
I used to be part of a chevra kadisha on the yishuv where we used to live, and we fasted on zayin Adar, had a big shiur, davened mincha as a ta’anit, and broke our fast on goodies after arvit. It was nice, as the whole group participated, men and women, and it’s about the only time the entire chevra kadisha got together as one group.
If all klal yisroel joined together and fasted with serious Teshuva for just a few days then we can all merit to personally meet our most humble leader Moshe Rabbeinu and in Eretz yisroel where he was never zoche to enter even with fasting for over 40 days and hundreds of tefillos from the biggest Navi who was the only human being holy enough to speak to Hashem face to face.
