[Avodah] Moshe R's Complaint: Unfair; Medrash Tanchuma VaEsChanan

[Meir Rabi]

The entire Medrash T of VaEsChanan is devoted to elaborating the unfairness
of his being denied access to EY

We understand that those who attempted to wreck the king's Shidduch should
be denied access to the wedding; but how can the Shadchan - who never even
having seen the girl - yet vouched for her and successfully promoted the
king's Shidduch, how can he be denied entry to the wedding. At least let him
in to see if he was right; that indeed the Kallah is as beautiful as he
insisted she is.

Very sad indeed.

But I am puzzled that the Medrash T chose to ignore everything else in the
Sedra and dwell on this theme, expanding not just on the tragedy and
unfairness of Moshe R but many others as well.
