on explaining <BR>the verse---Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the

<DIV>The pasuk refers to a prophecy that people will believe in Moshe
forever. It does not state or imply that all the people in the
world, or even all the Jews in the world, will always believe in Moshe and in
the Torah.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is not only "today" but every year since the actual giving of the Torah
that some Jews have rejected the Torah. It isn't the existence of
some or even many unbelievers that is relevant here. What is
relevant is the continuing existence, without a break in history, of a
community of believers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In fact there has always been and still remains a faithful Torah
community that continues, 3000 years later, to believe in Moshe Rabeinu.
To me this fulfillment of an ancient prophecy is an astonishing and
inspiring confirmation of the truth of the Torah. </DIV>
