| Feb 28, 2023 at 21:23 | comment | added | Shmuel | @YaacovDeane great point. I did not find this explanation in "Lessons in Sefer HaMaamarim", where I got this question from. If you could elaborate more on what you write in this comment, that would be a great answer. | |
| Feb 28, 2023 at 18:57 | comment | added | Yaacov Deane | @Harel13 That is exactly what the Rebbe and his father-in-law teach. Moshe Rabbeinu served as the Kohen Gadol during the first week of consecration although his garments were the plain white linen garments of the regular Kohen. Even though there is a principle discussed in Talmud & Midrash that Moshe & Aharon are considered equal (interchangeable), all the blessings that come through Aharon first come via Moshe Rabbeinu (In My entire House, he is faithful.). Think in terms of the Well of Miriam & the Manna when Miriam & Aharon died. Those items returned because of Moshe Rabbeinu. | |

| Feb 27, 2023 at 14:05 | comment | added | Shmuel | @Dude No. I've read the entire Maamar, also the Maamar that Ve'Atah Tetzaveh was based on and elaborated on. That answer was that Moshe is a faithful shepherd, nurturing our faith. That somewhat is in line with the Avodas Yisrael, but not to my satisfaction. The oil needed to be brought to Moshe, but it wasn't his job to kindle the menora..... | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 14:03 | comment | added | MichoelR | @Shmuel Not definitive, but I think I'm with N.T. To me it's the question that needs an explanation. | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 14:00 | comment | added | Dude | @Shmuel I'm a bit confused... you are asking about a diyuk that chabad chassidus addresses yet you don't want a chabad answer. | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 13:54 | comment | added | Shmuel | @MichoelR great observation. In a footnote in Likkutei Sichos, the editors write that there are many meforshim that ask the same quesion, why Moshe and not Aharon. Thus far, I haven't seen anyone give an explanation, only some meforshim making the same observation as the Friediker Rebbe. | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 13:44 | comment | added | MichoelR | @Shmuel That turns this into a question on the Friediker Rebbe. | |
| Feb 27, 2023 at 13:44 | comment | added | MichoelR | @N.T. Yup. Many many parts of the commands of the Mishkan were second person singular, directed to Moshe the leader. I don't know why they're asking just on this one. | |

| Feb 22, 2023 at 20:08 | comment | added | Shmuel | See also the Or HaChaim ad.loc where he says: G-d allocated the position of king specifically to Moshe, and the position of High Priest specifically to Aharon. Thus, why says the parasha that it needed to be taken to Moshe? | |
| Feb 22, 2023 at 17:26 | comment | added | Shmuel | It seems that it is not obviously, since the Friediker Rebbe makes the observation that there must be something else, since why does it states Moshe and not Aharon. If it were obvious, that observation wouldn't have been made I guess. | |
| Feb 22, 2023 at 4:15 | comment | added | N.T. | Isn't the obvious answer because Moshe was the one in charge of making sure everything was done correctly? | |
| Feb 20, 2023 at 16:06 | comment | added | Shmuel | The Gemara in Avodah Zarah 34a says Moshe had not the function of High Priest. Although Ramban says it was not the function of the High Priest alone, Aharon was the one who was to light the menorah, as Rashi writes: By your life! Your [act of dedication] is greater than theirs, for you will light and prepare the lamps [thereby dedicating them].” | |
| Feb 20, 2023 at 15:54 | comment | added | Harel13 | Maybe because Moshe served as kohen gadol during yemei ha'miluim? And the next verse describes how things would be from the dedication and onwards. | |

| Feb 19, 2023 at 23:56 | comment | added | Shmuel | Yep, but I am looking for other explanations, non-chabad preferably. | |
| Feb 19, 2023 at 23:12 | comment | added | Dude | did you learn the entire v'ate t'tzaveh? because that is a source which answers your question | |
