Bais Medrash Shomrei Mishmeres Hakodesh
Divrei Torah – Parsha Vayakhel-Pekudei / HaChodesh
Moshe Rabbeinu Accused - Rebbi Akiva to Vindicate Him
The Medrash tells us that Moshe was accused of becoming rich from
the Mishkan, as his accusers suggested that he pocketed 1775 gold
Shekalim that were extra and unaccounted for, until they discovered that
they were used for the Vavey HaAmudim the poles that held up the
outer curtain-wall of the Mishkan.
The Medrash also tells us that Rebbi Akiva was the Gilgul of Moshe, as
we know he became the great teacher of Klal Yisrael and Moshe
himself said to Hashem on Har Sinai - Why do you want me to give the
Torah over to Israel - when you have a Rebbi Akiva who can, as I explain
the verses and words and Rebbi Akiva even can explain the extra letters
and letter-crowns?
We know that Rebbi Akiva explained the extra Vavin in the Torah
(Sotah). Here says Rav Wolfson is the critical connection between
Moshe & Rebbi Akiva - as Moshe was accused of stealing the
Vavin and Rebbi Akiva explains them. We see that Rebbi Akiva
continues the work of Moshe Rabbeinu and attempts to repair the
accusers’ souls.
This explains the month of Adar and why we read this Parsha now.
Often we add an extra month to Adar (Adar Shieni). This is because the
12 months of the year correspond to the 12 tribes. Yet, not all of Klal
Yisrael fit into a tribe, as some are outside the camp so to speak -
those who Moshe Rabbeinu could not reach. Adar Shieni is for those
souls that are outside, on the fringe, beyond the Vavey HaAmudim of
the Courtyard of the Mishkan that must be connected to Klal Yisrael - by
a Rebbi Akiva, to ensure that they will be part of the Geulah on Pesach.
