Parsha Shiur Tetzaveh 2024

Moshe Rabbeinu’s name does not appear in the Parsha. The Baal Haturim provides 2 explanations for this. The second (less famous reason) is to spare Moshe pain. Moshe was supposed to be the Kohen Gadol and his descendants were supposed to be Kohanim. Upon his refusal to serve as Hashem's ambassador this was taken from him. So the Parsha that speaks of the Kohanim’s rights and privileges omits Moshe’s name.
