Tetzaveh – A Jewish Celebrity Is Missing

with Rabbi Benny Rapoport

This week's parshah is quite interesting. But to tell you the truth, what's really remarkable about it, is not what it includes, but rather what it excludes.

You see, our parsha contains a glaring omission. The name of Moses, Judaism’s greatest leader, is not to be found at all!

In fact, Tetzaveh is the only parshah since the birth of Moses that his name is not mentioned at all!

Tune in to this week's edition and discover why G-d deliberately omitted the name of Moses from the Torah and uncover a hidden message in the story.
