Going To The Beis Midrash
The Targum Yonason says
at the beginning of the parsha that Moshe went to the beis midrash. Why did Moshe decide now that he must go to
the beis midrash? The Lev Simcha
explains since Moshe at that time lost his supernal wisdom (Rashi,) therefore he
had to go learn to rediscover his wisdom.
Where did the Targum see in the verse that he went to the beis
midrash? The answer is that if you are not told Moshe is elsewhere you can assume he is in the beis midrash. I heard a similar idea from Rav
Avrohom Shmulevitz in regard to Yaakov Avenu.
Chazal derive from the calculation of Yishmoel’s age that there are 14
unaccounted for years of Yakov’s life.
Chazal say those years he spent learning in yeshivas Shem Ve’Aver. How do Chazal know where for those 14
years? We see from here that the
assumption is that a talmud chachom is learning. Therefore, if were Yaakov went wasn’t
identified one can safely assume it was to the beis midrash.
