Moshe Rabbeinu
Date of passing: 7-Adar. Moshe was one of the greatest leaders of all history! Prayers on this day are especially powerful. Due to the crises in Eretz Yisrael and the dangers facing am Yisrael, Rabbi Arush asks everyone to devote extra time in prayer today.
Who was this world leader who is known even several millennia after his passing?
The seventh of Adar is the date on which Moshe Rabbeinu (“Moses our Master” or “Moses our Teacher”) was born and on which he died 120 years later.
Moshe became, by his own great effort, the greatest human being who ever lived. He was chosen by Hashem to lead the Jewish nation out of Egypt and to be their Rebbe. He was the Tzaddik of the generation.
He was called Moshe Rabbeinu because he was the teacher par excellence of all of Jewish history! Moshe was also called “Master of the Prophets” and the “humblest of men”. Hashem Himself called Moshe “trustworthy in all of My Palace.”
The day of passing for such a prodigious tzaddik gives tremendous power to our prayers and requests for salvation. This day is considered a source of atonement just like fasting, prayer, and repentance.
Rabbi Arush made a special request today for everyone to pray at least one full hour for ahavat Yisrael, that there should be love within the Jewish people, as he has already written about many times (Loving Everyone as My Own Child, Brothers (Not Only) in Times of Distress, Stop the Tragedies!). This is especially important given the current war in Gaza and the threatening war from Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Rabbinit Arush suggests lighting a memorial candle for Moshe Rabbeinu.
On this auspicious day, may everyone in am Yisrael merit to do teshuvah from love, and may we see the full redemption mercifully and soon!
