Fwd: Parshas Naso


Liyluy Nishmas Elchonon Tzvi ben R' Yisroel Menachem, Zekaini Moiri R' Baruch Moshe Aryeh ben Harav Zev Yehuda, My cousin Zev Yehuda ben Rav Shmuel Mordechai, Avraham ben R' Yitzchak Zev, R' Dovid Meir ben R' Shmuel....

In perek zayin posuk alef the posuk says, "Vayehi b'yom kalos Moshe L'hakim es ha'Mishkan, vayimshach oso vayikadeish oso v'es kal keilav, v'es hamizbeiach v'es kal keilav, va'yimshacheim vayikadsheim osam" "It was on the day that Moshe finished erecting the Mishkan that he anointed it and sanctified it and all its utensils, and the mizbeach and all its utensil, and he anointed them and he sanctified them.

 It is written in the Medrash Raba, "you find that Moshe gave his life for three things and therefore they are mentioned with his name, dinim, Torah, and Mishkan. Mishkan- Moshe was constantly by the side of the craftsmen of the Mishkan teaching and showing them how to do the work so that a mistake would not be made. Because of this the posuk says "kalos Moshe".

 The Medrash seems to be saying that because Moshe was Moser Nefesh for the building of the Mishkan it was considered as if he had built it. What was the mesiras nefesh? Constantly dealing with the builders and explaining how the Mishkan should be made.
 The Rosh Yeshiva ztl asks, how is             showing the builders how to make the.  Mishkan called being Moser Nefesh? Its a very nice thing, but "nosen nafsho"? That seems a bit extreme.

 The Rosh Yeshiva explains that because Moshe was "amal" with all his strength in the building of the Mishkan and he would have done all that was necessary even if that would have meant being moser nefesh, it is considered that he actually was moser nefesh for the building of the Mishkan, and therefore the posuk says "B'yom kalos Moshe".

 We can learn from here that one who is ameil Ba'Torah with all theis heart and teaches others is considered someone who was actually moser nefesh for Torah. Similarly one who gives their all for any mitzva or good cause it is considered as if they were mamash moser nefesh for that mitzva.
 Good Shabbos
