I am very excited for the opportunity to share words of Torah with you. Each week, in this spot, I look to share an idea I've found that speaks to me and that I think will resonate with you as well. This week, I share an excerpt from an article by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis entitled ‘The Names of Moshe's Parents’ on the importance of recognizing our personal potential.
In Parashat Shemot, we have one of the most significant birth announcements ever: Vayeilech Ish Mibeit Levi Vayikach Et Bat Levi Vatahar Haishah Vateiled Ben, 'a man from the tribe of Levi went and he married a woman from the tribe of Levi and she conceived and she gave birth to a son'.
Now we actually do know the names of the father, the mother and the child. Amram and Yocheved were blessed with a baby boy, Moshe. And this is Sefer Shemot, the Book of Names, so why in this very significant announcement is there a total absence of names? [...]
I would like to suggest the following answer. The Torah wants us to know that whoever you are, you can be a truly outstanding person. Forget about Yichus, famous parents and grandparents and wonderful lineage that everybody talks about - that's not important. Any regular man and woman can produce a regular child and if you as a child, and then later on as an adult, use all of the God given talent that you have, if you reach your own personal and wonderful potential, then you can become the Moses of your generation.
Mazal Tov to Malka & Moshe Moskowitz on the engagement of their grandson Yehosua Moskowitz to Devorah Hodes.
