Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R' Yisroel Menachem, R' Baruch Moshe Aryeh ben R' Zev Yehuda, Zev Yehuda ben R' Shmuel Mordechai, Avraham ben R' Yitzchak Zev, R' Dovid Meir ben R' Shmuel.....
In perek lamud tes posuk lamud gimmel the posuk says "Vayaviu es hamishkan el Moshe, es ha'ohel v'es kal keilav, k'rasav, k'rashav,b'richav v'amudav, va'adanav." "And they brought the Mishkan to Moshe, the tent and its keilim, its hooks, its beams, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets."
Rashi explains that they brought the Mishkan to Moshe because they were unable to erect it. Moshe had done no other work in the construction of the Mishkan so Hashem left the actual building to him. The reason they could not erect it says Rashi is because the beams were too heavy for them to set upright.
The Medrash Tanchuma explains, that the reason why everyone else was unable to erect it was because Moshe Rabeinu was in pain that he did not partake in the construction of the Mishkan. Hashem saw that Moshe was in pain and said that because of his pain Hashem will make it that noone else can erect it and Moshe will have a part in the construction.
The Rosh Yeshiva ztl sheds some light on the Medrash and the greatness of Moshe Rabeinu's feelings of pain. Most probably Moshe wasn't just busy hanging out when the Mishkan was being created, he wasn't just chilling. He was probably busy doing Mitzvos, and not just any mitzvos, mitzvos that could only be done by Moshe Rabeinu, by the manhig of Klal Yisroel. Yet with all that he was in pain that he could not partake in the tremendous Mitzva of building the Mishkan. His pain was so great that Hashem stepped in with nisim to make it that no man besides Moshe would be able to erect the Mishkan.
We see from here the tremendous love that Moshe Rabeinu had for Mitzvos, and how we can learn from him to appreciate the greatness of each and every Mitzva...
Good Shabbos
