What is unique about Moshe Rabbeinu? When we examine the character of Moshe we can notice a unique dichotomy – he was the greatest prophet who ever lived, while also was the leader and judge of the Jewish people in the desert. How do these two characteristics fit together? How was he able to be a prophet, separated from the people, while also be an advocate for them and live among them as well? By examining various texts describing Moshe’s experience and personality, we can learn how Moshe indeed successfully mastered both roles simultaneously, which made him the ultimate leader of the Jewish nation.
