We learn, “  – And Moshe ascended to G-d.”
 The letter  denotes a supplement or addition. This indicates that one does
 not have to wait until his death in order to ascend to Hashem. He can
 already do so in this world, during his lifetime by coming close to Hashem
 through making a kiddush Hashem.Every Jewish neshamah is a nitzotz
 of Moshe Rabbeinu’s neshamah. This pasuk hints that just as Moshe
 Rabbeinu came close to Hashem during his lifetime, every Jew is able to
 do likewise.

 It is customary to bury a dead person in his tallit without the fringes. This
 is because the fringes allude to the fulfillment of mitzvot. In order not to
 mock the deceased, who cannot perform mitzvot anymore, the fringes are
 removed. This inspires all those who escort the deceased to strive to fulfill
 mitzvot while they are still able to perform them.

 The Satan deviously attempts to prevent a person from sanctifying  “Speak to the Children of Israel, saying: When
 Hashem’s Name. However, when one overcomes these obstacles and  a woman conceives and gives birth to a male,
 improves his Avodat Hashem despite them, his reward is endless.  she shall be impure for a seven-day period, as

                   during the days of her menstruant infirmity
                   shall she be impure”

                                                                 (Vayikra 12:2)

                   “If she gives birth to a female, she shall be
                   impure      for    two    weeks,      as    during     her
 “Moshe said to Aharon: Of this did Hashem  menstruation period; and for sixty-six days she
 speak, saying: I will be sanctified through those  shall stay in blood of purity”
 whoare closetoMe, andIwill be honored                              (ibid. vs. 5)
 before the entire people; and Aharon fell silent”
