Parsha Tetzaveh 5767 — Is Something Amiss? Where’s Moshe?

by Moshe Burt

In our Parsha Tetzaveh, the laws regarding the annointment, the vestments and the Avodah (service) of the Kohanim are enunciated for the Jewish people. But wait! Stop the music. Something seems amiss.
Our Parsha, unlike any other place throughout Torah (including Sefer Devarim where Moshe himself speaks to the Jewish people in one continuous Mussar shmooze reviewing the laws and the events of the 40 years in BaMidbar and where each of the Parshiyot are distinguished only by the sections Halachas enunciated) from the time of his birth through Vezos HaBeracha, omits any mention of Moshe Rabbeinu. read more

More on The Peretz Binoculars Episode

Gideon Levy Column Misreads significance of Peretz’s Binoculars Incident, by Dr. Aaron Lerner (IMRA)

The significance of the incident last week in which DM Amir Peretz went through the motions of appearing to follow a briefing of a large military exercise with field glasses – when he actually could not see since there were caps on the binoculars, is that he apparently lacked the self confidence to tell anyone that there was a problem.

If Peretz was too embarrassed to tell someone that the binoculars weren’t working what else has he been too embarrassed to say anything about? Does this make him a DM who can be easily snowballed? How effective can a DM be if he is too embarrassed to tell the people on his team when he can’t see what is going on? read more

Most Incompetent DM in Israel’s History Incapable of Winning a War, Set for “Easy Prey” — the Jews

Commentary;

Defense Minister Amir Peretz, for whom it would make no difference whether or not his binoculars are capped when he looks through them, is incapable of leading national defense in a time of war, so he looks for easy prey to bully; the Jews of Yehuda and the Shomron.

But in preparing for a possible, imminent replay of Amona on a larger scale, he may just have bitten off a bit more than his level of incompetency can handle. All the while, the dire predictions from numerous sources keep flowing about renewed warfare in the north as Hezbollah rearms to pre-war strength and Syria prepares. read more
