As leader of the Jewish religious institutions, Rabbi Rosen was submitted to the control of the Communist authorities which in the 1950s ran a very harsh policy against expressions of Jewish national feeling, especially Zionism, Hebrew culture and Jewish religion. There was some tolerance, but mostly limited to the culture in the Yiddish language. Openly opposing the regime, which used Stalinist terror methods, would have attracted cruel individual and collective repression and revenge measures. After having

Moses is also given a number of bynames in Jewish tradition. The Midrash identifies Moses as one of seven biblical personalities who were called by various names. Moses' other names were: Jekuthiel (by his mother), Heber (by his father), Jered (by Miriam), Avi Zanoah (by Aaron), Avi Gedor (by Kohath), Avi Soco (by his wet-nurse), Shemaiah ben Nethanel (by people of Israel).

Abraham ben Moses ben Maimon, in the spirit of his father Maimonides, Saadiah Gaon, and other predecessors, explains at length in his "Milḥamot HaShem" that God is in no way literally within time or space nor physically outside time or space, since time and space simply do not apply to his being whatsoever. This is in contrast to certain popular understandings of modern Kabbalah which teach a form of panentheism, that his 'essence' is within everything. Around the 1230s, Rabbi Meir ben Simon of Narbonne wrote an

Brown was elected, running more than 19,000 votes ahead of Republican R. Parker Birkins. Democrats won six of seven seats, with only Woodcock winning. During his two years as an Assemblyman, Brown's legislative aide was Byron Baer, who later served more than 30 years in the legislature. Brown sought re-election to a second term in 1967, which

Despite Miriam's intent to help Tzipora, she should have judged Moses favorably and approached Moses on Tzipora's behalf privately. Aaron asks Moses to intercede for Miriam, Moses prays to God to heal her, and God concedes after requiring a quarantine of seven days. Both Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, but only Miriam contracted "tzara'at". It has been suggested that since according to the Hebrew Bible anyone with "tzara’at" was "tamei" (), Aaron was spared

There were only three people present when Moses killed the Egyptian — the Egyptian, who could not tell the story, because he was dead; Moses, who had not talked; and the Jew whom Moses had saved, who must have informed on him. When Moses realized this, that must have been when he decided to run away. Moshe Greenberg of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote that one may see the entire Exodus

My view all along—and especially in the recent books—is first that the biblical narratives are indeed 'stories,' often fictional and almost always propagandistic, but that here and there they contain some valid historical information...

However, he states that a "Moses-like figure" may have existed somewhere in the southern Transjordan in the mid-13th century BC.
