From Moses to Moses there was none like Moses

ממשה עד משה לא קם כמשה

I dedicate this Parsha to "Moses ben Amram"-משה בן עמרם known simply as Moses our Rabbi-משה רבינו who led the Children out of Egypt and ascended to the Heavens to receive the Torah from Hashem and bring it down to earth.

The Torah is thus called “The Torah of Moses”-תורת משה.

Moses ben Amram

משה בן עמרם

747=18

Moses our Rabbi

משה רבינו

613=10=1

The number 613 corresponds to the number of Mitzvoth in the Torah which Moses brought down from Heaven to earth.

Torah of Moses

תורת משה

1351 =10=1 or 1+8 from each side

I also dedicate this Parsha to the undisputed greatest codifier of the Torah of Moses (named after Moses himself) - Rabbi Moses ben Maimon-רבימשה בן מימון known simply by his acronym “The Rambam”- הרמב"ם or “Maimonides”.

Rabbi Moses ben Maimon

רבי משה בן מימון

 

755=17=8

The Rambam

הרמב"ם 

 287=17=8 or + 1 word=18.

Interestingly, the gematria of the name "Moses ben Maimon"- משה בן מימוןis 543 which is the reverse gematria of the number 345, the gematria of the name "Moses"-משה!

Together:

·         Moses- משה                                   =345

·         Moses ben Maimon- משה בן מימון     =543

888

In my opinion the above teaches us that the soul of the Rambam was deeply connected to the soul of Moses our Rabbi 

This gematria combination is especially significant in light of the famous words which compare Maimonides to Moses and which are engraved on his tombstone: 

From Moses to Moses there was none like Moses

ממשה עד משה לא קם כמשה

1340=8 or 1900=10=1 (Mem as 600)
