PARSHA MATH
Moshe’s name is “missing” from the Parsha of Tetzaveh
. However, Moshe is not“missing” since all the active verbs in the Parsha are in the second person (you), referring to Moshe.Thus, the essence of Moshe is in the Parsha, just not the “lower” level represented by his name.One of the allusions of this concept is the math in this Parsha. The Medrash tells us that G-dtraveled 500 years in order to acquire a name. Thus, the essence of G-d, which is greater than His Name, must be more than 500. Everything has a foundation (רוקמ) which is the equivalent of thenumber one. Therefore, 501 is not just one more than 500, but the additional one is a unique grouprepresenting at least equality to the previous set of 500. Similarly we find that in the times of theTalmud the normal custom was to study a section 100 times. Someone who studies it 101 times wasnot just adding an additional study unit, but went beyond the norm and was considered unique.
