DonateThe level of Moshe is the level of Bittul in every Jew:
It states in Scripture regarding the giving of the Torah, that Moshe would speak and G-d would answer him with His voice. This refers to a great and constant effect of Torah study in which a person who studies Torah merits to be unified with G-d at the time of the study and have G-d study the Torah and repeat it after him. This is the concept of the divine presence speaking through the throat of Moshe, and this applies in every generation as was stated by the angelic teacher of the Beis Yosef “I am the Mishneh that is speaking in your mouth.” This, however, only applies if one studies Torah with the proper intent of nullification to G-d. Now, the level of nullification that each person has in his study of Torah is the aspect of Moshe that is found in every Jew of every generation, each person commensurate to his soul. It is for this reason that we find in the Talmud that sages referred to other sages by the name of Moshe even though that was not their real name, as they were hinting to the unity with G-d during Torah study that is found in every sage as a result of Moshe.
