Focus Questions on Rashi of the Week:
 Vayikra


1.  Rashi explains that Hashem would always call to Moshe Rabeinu
     with an expression of love before beginning to speak with him
     or command him:  do you think this was intended to prepare Moshe,
     in some way, for listening to Hashem?

2.  When a parent calls to his/her child with an expression of love
     (Darling! / Dolly! / Son! / Bubbela! etc.) is it with a particular intention
     or just a natural, affectionate way of calling the child?
     Now, do you wish to change your answer to number 1, above?

 
3.  How does it help to compare the way Hashem called out with love
     to Moshe with the way the Mal'achim (Angels) call out to one another?

 
4.  Once we know the first part of the Rashi, that Hashem would call out
     to Moshe with love, why do we need the second part, which tells
     us that Hashem would reveal Himself in a very different way to Bilaam
     and other such Nevi'im?
     What is Rashi's reason for adding this?
     Does it help us to understand our pasuk better?
