Closure - A parasha of closure, which takes us beyond mere transitions and even beyond the הבדלה מרומז במעשה בראשית . Closure alone allows us to begin anew, to drop the paradigm of the past, and is central to תשובה ונחמה and thus is related to ט"ו באב and the end of the Old. Here, the closure actually deals with the very essence of the paradigm that got us into trouble and with Moshe’s inability to make the leap into the coming paradigm of quantum non-mechanics which would lead to the Second Coming and to the end of the need for כיבוש. This is a complete change of paradigm for Torah as well, which until now was meant itself to be without mechanics and instead became linked to the mechanics of intellect and the tools of mind, the development of the תלמוד בבלי ותלמוד ירושלמי. What caused Moshe’s failure to cross the line into the para-generation, the one that would indeed enter into ארץ ישראל though Haman’s celebration of this moment was short-lived because of this same birthday? For surely he was the source of the very Torah that did not need those tools, and indeed could not enter that בית מדרשו של רבי עקיבא? The same problem that has dogged him all along: the inability to be an איש דברי"ם=ודברתם אל הסלע which was the source of Aharon and Miriam’s confusion about him as well. His use of דברים to be the translator of אמרים אמת לשולחם would have limited them and thus damaged דברי תורה.
